The new CEO, Mary Gofast faces the challenge to bring about required changes in the corporate culture, structure and job design to function efficiently with minimal financial losses. The major areas, which need immediate attention, are 1) dealing with large number of middle managers 2) increasing the profit margin and quality of products. I as a consultant, suggest the following HBO concepts to bring about this change.Corporate Culture acts as a tool for achieving organizational goals and helping companies adapt to challenging external forces. In order to survive in this competitive industry, Widget employees need to become more team oriented and innovative. I, as a consultant will focus on corporate culture by placing emphasis on: · Shared responsibility among employees for the company's success (or failure) · A sense of urgency about performing well.
