Recently, the organization has been shifting to less formalized working structures to support more creative, innovative work and provide employees with more autonomy. While employees are happy with the purpose of these new changes, managers are feeling overwhelmed, and employees are feeling under supported. This has impacted function$-$specific work the most, because in the past, managers didn$$t need to understand in$-$depth, function$-$specific tasks $($such as the technical aspects of graphic design work or the intricacies of project management$).$ Instead, they had the ability to rely on rules, regulations, and standard operating processes. Employees have also noticed a lack of communication around current projects, which has led to a lack of updated information and duplicated work across management teams.
