Describe the situation Dr.Gayle found at care. why was change needed

CARE, one of the world's leading nongovernmental organizations, was created to provid DR. GAYLE BRINGS COLLABORATION TO CARE ar II. When Dr. Helene Gayle became CEO in 2006-after working at both the ter for Disease Control and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation-the changed considerably. Under the broadly stated mandate of toefending Dignity, Fighting Poverty, CARE expanded its reach. The organization e aid to devastated European countries in the immediate aftermath of World mission had described its new mission this way: CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. We place special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole famil and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE's community-based efforts to improve bas education, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural dis and helps people rebuild their lives rs Dr. Gayle believed, however, that CARE was better designed to serve its past mission than its future opportunities The organization Dr. Gayle found when she became CEO was designed in a way that maximized the autonomy of country offices: France, Germany, Italy, and so forth. "The country officers raised most of their own funds and were used to being on their own," she explained, "having a lot of autonomy, and not thinking about the greater whole." The managers in the organization were "comfortable" with that highly decentralized design, but Gayle believed the approach undermined CARE's effectiveness. Now, the organization had to learn how to collaborate across national borders. "To do that," she said, "we had to ask, 'How do we make the whole greater than the sum of its parts? The organizational change would requir both improved information sharing across country units and more rigorous measurement of results to evaluate effectiveness One of CARE's first efforts at cross-country collaboration involved a project called Access Africa. That microfinance program (making small loans to encourage entrepreneurial efforts in poverty regions) was a 10-year investment commitment targeting 39 sub-Saharan African countries with a combined population of 150 million. "In 10 years," Gayle noted, "we'd like to be able to look back and say, "Wow this is very different than if we had continued to function as separate country units Still, she could not deny the challenge of implementing this change. Key Learning Point of Case: The case discusses the importance of scrutinizing and perhaps changing organizational design when implementing change. The case describes Dr. Gayle's challenges of creating collaboration among formerly independent national units of CARE
