Scenario
As part of your ongoing advisory/coaching engagement with Sun City Boards founder Tom Wilson, you are preparing for a discussion of organizational structure. Tom has asked you to send him some material for preparation. You recently (in the Factors Impacting Organizational Design section of this module, in fact) read a brief summary of Larry Greiner’s ideas about how a business’ growth cycle affects its organizational choices; you decide to use this as a planning/discussion framework. You conduct additional research and find Larry’s seminal article, “Evolution and Revolution as Organizations Grow” and attach it to an email. Prior to sending the email, you decide to read the article and distill the highlights for him.

For Discussion
As preparation for this discussion, scan Larry Greiner’s “Evolution and Revolution as Organizations Grow” article.
Reflect on what you’ve learned about Sun City Boards evolution and future plans and write a brief email that introduces Greiner’s thinking and how it relates to Sun City Board’s evolution and choice of organization
