Speeding up the website design
You've been hired by a web-site design, production and hosting company whose new animated website designs are attracting a lot of attention and a lot of customers.
Currently employees are organized into different functions such as hardware, software design, graphic art and website hosting as well as functions as marketing and human resources. Each function takes its turn to work on a new project from initial customer request to final online website hosting.
The problem the company is experiencing is that it typically takes one year from the initial idea stage to the time that the website is up and running; the company wants to shorten this time by half to protect and expand its market niche. In talking to other managers, you discover that they believe the company’s current functional structure is the source of the problem -it is websites fast enough to satisfy customer‘s demands. They want you to design a better structure and manage.
