What the council debates
Help us decide how to structure our team or organisation as we grow. Debate the trade-offs. THE SITUATION: [current size and structure, where it is straining, where you are heading] THE OPTIONS: [the structures you are considering — functional, pods, divisions, etc.] THE PAIN: [what is breaking now — slow decisions, unclear ownership, silos] Debate: 1. What the current structure optimises for, and whether that still matches the goal. 2. The trade-offs of each option — speed vs control, focus vs duplication, autonomy vs alignment. 3. Where decisions get made and how ownership and accountability flow. 4. The communication and coordination cost of each shape. 5. The human cost of a reorg, and how to do it with the least damage. 6. The structure that fits where we are going, not just where we are. FINAL SYNTHESIS: - A recommended structure with the top reasons. - The main trade-off we are accepting, named honestly. - The first reorganising move and how to communicate it.
