Strategic Management or Rearranging Deck Chairs on the Queen Mary?

April 20, 2006

It appears Rodney Bent has been elevated to the number two position at the MCC, in yet another senior management change (recall the promotion of Steve Groff earlier). No press release yet to explain the addition of yet another layer the organization, just a title change in the senior staff listing. Also unanswered is whether the MCC will recruit a new VP for Development Policy and International Relations. Lots of layers for what was to be a streamlined organization. And unclear to me whether the layers are streamlining decisionmaking and/or providing a good check-and-balance role between operations and development effectiveness.
