The human resources manager at Alice Saddy Association (Alice Saddy), a nonprofit agency in London, Ontario, Canada, supporting individuals with developmental disabilities who lived alone rather than in group houses, told the executive director that some of the prop up workers believed the present organizational structure caused confusion, slowed decision making and created possible risk for the individuals served by Alice Saddy.
The executive director concurred that there were some problems associated with the construction of the organization. On the other hand, the arrangement reflected the mission of Alice Saddy and changes were likely to be resisted by the management team for that reason. The executive director had to determine how to continue.
