The Gallery Association, a not-for-profit organization representing independent art galleries in the province employs 5 staff members in addition to a CEO. It is located in a major Canadian city. The team is small, has been together for over 7 years, and generally gets along. However, for some time now, they have found that they are having challenges with managing special events projects that they offer to the galleries they represent.

Upon closer review it seems that each staff member has some role in designing, planning, and coordinating the event, even though there is a staff member responsible for special events. The CEO has recently discovered that there is little communication between the various staff members on the events, as each takes the responsibility of managing their "part" of the process, but is not up to date on what the others are doing. It has also been discovered that much of the information and records for the previous years' events are not stored in a central "location" but in a binder kept in the Special Events manager's office. Other staff members rarely access it for future events as it seems "private property" of the Special Events manager.

Questions:

1. Identify the main causes of the challenges this the Gallery Association is facing?
