Provide Leadership Across The Organisation Free

PURA has been a corporation in the Brisbane area for the last 30 years and has increasingly expanded during that time. At present, PURA’s base is in Brisbane with a workforce of 180 employees. Our staff of 10-12-man team is assigned in the software department. This team improves and sustains all the specialized software for the firm. This software development team has become the moneymaking segment of the company.

Nevertheless, the structure and work practices in this area of expertise diverge from the practices carried on by the rest of the staff in the organization. The company implements job sharing, adaptable work shifts and casual attire on the job. Thus the company Board has settled on creating a new company known as PURA-IT, which is a part of the PURA group. The software team will transfer to the new site at Brisbane City Council Green Square, which is just within the vicinity from the head office, a fifteen-minute walking distance between the two sites. All the facilities and services have been structured for the premises and a small group from the administrative staff will meet managerial needs. These individuals will work directly with the CEO. The new CEO will be the senior manager from the existing business and I will remain the team leader.
