For this paper, imagine that you have been tasked with advising a generic public organization that has become overly insular and siloed.
This is a generic public organization, and the assignment does not call for creation of a specific organization. You are an outside consultant justifying an organization-wide restructuring. Of course, these papers cannot be exhaustive given time and space limitations, but you need to begin by laying a theoretical foundation for change.
Paper #1 is based on the course material covered through Session 4. You need to make a case for change and a movement toward a collaborative system. Therefore, the first paper in this assignment is theory-based and persuasive regarding the need for a more collaborative system (define it). It would also be helpful to discuss public organizational theory history and it trajectory toward more democratic systems (in brief).
Do more democratically based organizational systems lead to collaborative systems? Is this something the organization you are examining could benefit from?
I expect you to make connections to the materials that you are reading and watching in this course by citing them in this paper.
