Re: Bad Office Organization

[quills -at- airmail -dot- net]

It is a simple matter of applied organization. The die have been 
cast, and without someone backing down, a real ego downer, only 
failure will reverse this decision. Or so it seems from my past 
experience.

Have you tried explaining how task force organization is more 
efficient? How the functional group can provide better support for 
the projects by pooling its resources and assigning them as needed?

Unfortunately, there are plenty of studies books, etc, that propose 
both the above organization, and the foolishness you are 
experiencing. You might try that the U.S. Army uses task force 
organization but retains administrative and functional entities 
separately. Which is what I described above.
