Assignment 4 part I

Discuss whether and how this potential disruption materialized in the course of your project?
Since the blog had already existed prior to my association with planned parenthood there were already certain mechanisms of authority and control. The blogs that had been posted before mine were few in number and required less oversight because of how rarely they came out. My project required increased oversight because of my intention to increase blog frequency.

How readily did the organization adjust to the new channels of information flow?
As mentioned earlier, the channels of information flow were already in place but they became a little more stressed since there was more information flowing through those channels.

How did this affect your efforts to develop a blog that could operate in support of the organization?
It would have been easier for me to need less approval before my blogs were posted, but it makes sense that there needs to be a significant level of oversight when I am acting as a representative of the organization.

How readily and clearly was authority defined?
Authority was pretty clearly defined in my first meeting with Amy.

How important an issue was this to the blogging project?
This issue was not that important because once I understood to whom I would be answering it was clear for the duration of the project.

What could you and the organization done differently to facilitate resolution of these issues?
If I could have sent my postings directly to the board of directors things could have moved a little more quickly I think. I don't think the board of directors wanted to be directly involved with the project though so this was not a real viable option.
