Decentralized structure is an organization wherein the decision making authority does not have a central figure or group. We empower all levels within the hierarchy with decision influence, which basically means we are all equal. As an adhocracy based organization, we focus on our staff, information sharing, and the mutual adjustment between people. ]]> 2017-05-26 14:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kmemerson/s4ibh9socuni/wish/173990932 Change Development kmemerson https://padlet.com/kmemerson/s4ibh9socuni/wish/173990933 1.
