Are there any OB issues you can easily identify? What are they? What are great things you have found in this organization? Evaluate the organization based on the new ideas you have learned. Identify management diseases and obstacles. Are there any systemic problems? How many layers are in this organization; what are they? How many layers should there be? What is the organizational structure, and what should it be? Are there differences between the paper/HR-based organizational structure and how the organization functions in reality?

Are the annual revenues/funds of this company/department consistently increasing or decreasing? What recommendations for improvement would you offer to the CEO and the Board?
