Apply your understanding of Organisational Design to the case below, including the 6 Building Blocks of organisational structure (Building Blocks model) and the 4 common organisational structure types.
The Case
At Whole Foods Market we recognize the importance of smaller groupings to maximize familiarity and trust. We organize our stores and company into a variety of interlocking teams. Most teams have between 6 and 100 Team Members and the larger teams are divided further into a variety of sub-teams. The leaders of each team are also members of the Store Leadership Team and the Store Team Leaders are members of the Regional Leadership Team. This interlocking team structure continues all the way upwards to the Executive Team at the highest level of the company.
