ITO community: initial research into organisation structure & function
funded by InfraTrain ITO and Road Transport & Logistics ITO
ITOs are a new type of organisation, mandated by both government and industry to meet specific objectives. This research was undertaken with a view to comparing and contrasting a range of practices and structures in place across ITOs. The project focused on providing an overview, and questions related to history, structure and some areas of strategic decision-making. STMs as at 31 December 2005 were matrixed with data from some questions. Organisational charts were compared across 15 ITOs. There was a 75% response to an on-line survey for ITO CEOs, and in addition 12 CEOs were directly interviewed. Interviews focused on drawing out additional information from survey questions & answers. You can view the report from the research by following this link (pdf 76 kb).
