Cabinet needs to be ‘Ground-Zero’ re-structured, not reshuffled: MTI
With extensive international strategizing and re-structuring experience, MTI has opined that what Sri Lankan needs is a ‘Ground-Zero’ based re-structuring of the cabinet, not an incremental reshuffle. Governmental Organizational Structures tend to suffer from the ‘legacy’ effect of structures that were put in place decades ago (at which time the Government had a different operating model and a different set of challenges), post which it has been subjected to a series of incremental and tactical changes. Much like each tenant you rent a house being allowed to make structural changes to the building – to just suit their tenancy period! The net result is a less than optimal structure that is unable to respond to the contemporary global and local challenges. It not just the structure, the same ‘legacy’ factor impacts the processes, performance management and importantly the culture of the organization – the combination of which has a crippling effect on the organization, the Cabinet in this case.
