Describe the organization and the change to which it is responding.Discuss the degree to which the change has been disruptive and how the organization has responded to the dynamics created by this change.

Acme Corporation is a multinational corporation headquartered in the United States that manufactures consumer products. In recent years, Acme has faced increasing pressures to become more competitive in a global economy and has responded by making significant changes to its organizational structure. The primary change was the adoption of an agile working model where teams are encouraged to work autonomously and cross-functionally on projects. This shift has been highly disruptive to Acme’s existing management hierarchy, as it requires employees at all levels of the organization to collaborate with each other and take responsibility for their own projects.

The degree of disruption created by this change varies from one person or group within the organization to another. Some team members may have found it difficult to adjust their approach as they were accustomed to having clear directions from above while others may have felt energized by being given more autonomy on how they accomplish tasks. Regardless, there were definite growing pains associated with this change but ultimately Acme was able respond successfully because of their commitment towards training and upskilling employees so that everyone had access to the necessary skills needed for them contribute in this new environment effectively. Moreover, senior executives provided regular updates on progress made against goals set forth as part of this new initiative which kept morale high throughout the transition period despite some bumps along the way.
