Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Task groups are semi‐autonomous working groups with specific responsibilities, delivering to specific aims and targets. If created effectively, they can form the basis of a flexible, organic, delayered organisation. However, bringing about the change from traditional hierarchical structures to task group structures is not straightforward. The changes are threatening to many of the established individuals and groups. Explains the key principles underlying a task group structure and highlights the issues to be addressed when making the change.
