Communication

Communication seems all over the place *

Not on the same page across projects *

Low efficiency in cross-departmental collaboration *

Executives too involved in minutia and management *

Decision-Making

Agreement on decisions hard to reach *

When things do get decided, there is slow buy-in and implementation *

Project implementation requires much more energy and conflict than it used to *

To move things forward, some people aggressively push decisions forward even if it means catching others by surprise or sudden changes. Some people are told of decisions; others must play catch-up. *

Meetings and Processes

Seem to have outgrown our processes, policies, and procedures *

Things do not get put in writing, and we operate mostly from verbal decisions, or lots of emails. *

Meetings are not effective, or too many meetings *

"Hallway conversations" or private discussions is where things seem to get decided *

Culture and Ideas

There is an undertone of discontentment of things not going smoothly, no longer able to move forward together toward clear goals. Things change a lot. *

Employee morale waning *

New ideas get shot down quickly *

Problems from the frontlines go unresolved, problems identified by frontliners are downplayed as either gossip or complaining *
