You are managing a project in an organization that is known for its rigid hierarchy and formal communication channels. Midway through the project, you observe that the slow decision-making process is impacting the project timelines. What should you do first to ensure project success without disrupting the organizational culture?
Identify key decision-makers and leverage existing formal communication channels to expedite approvals.
Propose an organizational culture change to encourage a more flat and agile structure.
Increase team autonomy by allowing team members to make decisions without upper management approval to speed up the process.
Implement informal communication channels to bypass the hierarchy for quicker decision making.
