Team Workshop - Understanding Organizations

Understanding how your organization functions can seem overwhelming; where to start? In this session, we start with four common forms of organizations and investigate their strengths, weaknesses, and implications. You will come to a better appreciation of your organization and others, seeing them as the interplay of specific forms and forces.

The objectives for this topic are to:

Understand the various species of organizations, in particular four forms: entrepreneurial, machine, professional, and adhocracy.
Appreciate the dynamic forces of each form.
Clarify how your organization fits into this framework and where it could be strengthened.

For more information on the content in this module we recommend reading Henry Mintzberg’s TWOG on Species of Organizations.
