Description
One of the tasks an administrative manager must do is diagram the administrative organization structure to help achieve results. The purpose of the diagram is to depict the relationship between and among members of the organization. It shows the flow of information, lines of authority, levels of responsibility, and levels of pay.

Situation:

You recently accepted a consulting position to the Midland Company. They gave you a description of the administrative services division managers, supervisors, and employees. They want you to diagram its administrative services division organizational line structure using Microsoft PowerPoint, or another downloadable software you find online.

Step 1- Perform a google search on organizational chart software. Choose one (don’t pay for it! There are lots of free ones–even PowerPoint has an option). Using the software, create an organizational chart of your choice, making sure all the positions listed above are included (the descriptions of the job should not be included).

Step 2- Once you have finished your chart, please provide a short narrative explaining to Midland the advantages of using an organizational chart. Then, paste the chart within the body of your memo, with its own heading. (note: it is ok to use a screenshot or paste a chart with a watermark)

Part two:

Assume your organization is moving to new offices on June 8. It is currently May 5, and you are responsible for coordinating the move. Due to the quick timeline, you do not have a lot of time to make sure the move is smooth!

You will create a operational plan with a task list and timeline to ensure the move occurs on time.

Within the same memo from step one, please create a table or chart including a task list and timeline for accomplishment of each task needed to complete by the move date. The task list should include at least 15 items. A short example might look like this:

Task Timeline
Communicate to Employees about move May 6
Call tech support and schedule computer hook-ups May 7
Gather boxes for employee’s personal belongings May 10-15

Once you complete the operational planning task list and timeline, write a short paragraph about your thought process on how you will organize the move, and include it in your memo.
