My reaction to the Structural Change at Hewlett Packard is that the change was effective. Based on the course material I believe HP utilized all the process and by merging the four major product divisions into a group allowed the company to focus on one vision. Also the rewards allocation was a bonus. The Johari Window shows that people are aware of their own personal issues, but conceal them from others. Some people have personal issues that are unknown to themselves but are known to others.
Some people have personal issues that are unknown to themselves and others.
The value of the Johari Window for group processes would be to encourage individual to be more open about their views, opinions, concerns, and emotions. The value of Process Consultation to management is to help create relationships and an environment in which learning and exploration takes place. Managers can become consultants of their own departments. They can evaluate to what extent their behavior or actions are consistent with their personal values versus the organizations values. Managers can learn whether their role as an expert or consultant is more productive base on the situation.
