Analysis of Key Issues• Team management process: 11 teams highly involved in
the Company decision making process
• Decision making: should the prod. team be consulted?

• Staff Insecurity: by-passing the production team could be seen as a threat to job security

Our Lessons Learnt• Google Drive was used to store files; assumption that
everyone was familiar with the application
• Lack of regular face-to-face made the project difficult
• Consistency in Harvard Referencing was time consuming

Summary and Suggestions• We suggest the organization structure changes to matrix
organizational design to aid decision making to include project management team
• Oilwell needs to look at expanding - decentralizing
• Risks Identified and Prioritized
• Conflict management & change control tools will keep staff motivated during the transition to a matrix organization design
• Adequate communications plan should be used to keep staff productive / motivated & ensure buy-in from stakeholders
• Auditing tools should be used to monitor progress
