That way, we get up-to-date testimony from the people who live with these corporate reboots day in day out. We ask about headcount, leadership, hard lines, dotted lines and peer-to-peer relationships. In short, we find out why one restructure works and another doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of our sources\u2019 insights are very specific. But here\u2019s something that we\u2019ve never heard anyone say: \u201cThe restructure was totally successful. It addressed all the problems we were trying to solve, there were no unexpected side-effects and everyone has adapted seamlessly to the new setup.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is this? Given the scale and complexity of most restructures, isn\u2019t it worrying that so few deliver the hoped-for results? And how do you ensure your own company retrofit won\u2019t stumble on the same mistakes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on our research, we\u2019ve drawn up a list of the five most common reasons<br>that restructures go wrong:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">1. The restructure wasn&#8217;t necessary in the first place<\/mark><\/strong><br><br>We might as well start with the big one. We always ask sources why their employer decided to restructure at all and the answers are often surprising. Usually, the underlying issue is quite negligible. One healthcare business rejigged its entire Commercial Oncology division because its MSLs weren\u2019t liaising effectively with their colleagues in account management. An issue, certainly, but was it worth tearing down the whole structure to solve it? Arguably not.<br><br>The fact is, no setup is perfect. By embarking on a utopian quest for some irreproachable organizational design, a company risks spending copious amounts of time and money on swapping one problem for another.<br><br>Of course, some structures are dysfunctional on several levels and need to be urgently reimagined. But is yours one of those? Really? Or does it simply contain a few minor infelicities which might best be remedied by coaching and team management?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"741\" height=\"117\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-whitepaper.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-whitepaper.png 741w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-whitepaper-300x47.png 300w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-whitepaper-150x24.png 150w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-whitepaper-696x110.png 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">2. What works in one company might not work in another<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a fairly strong correlation between corporate restructures and the appointment of new leadership. This stands to reason. A new CEO comes in, wanting to make their mark, and takes the obvious option of reorganizing the business along the lines of their previous (presumably very successful) company. This was what happened recently at one of the business units of major telco company \u2013 and the outcome was chaotic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The division simply wasn\u2019t right for the structure imposed on it. What had worked elsewhere didn\u2019t translate to a business with a larger footprint, different skill-sets and a deeply embedded workplace culture. Unsurprisingly, they had another restructure 18 months later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"744\" height=\"119\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Reco-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Reco-2.png 744w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Reco-2-300x48.png 300w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Reco-2-150x24.png 150w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Reco-2-696x111.png 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">3. There is institutional resistance to making it work<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Structures and processes don\u2019t just magically work on their own. They rely on the will and purpose of hundreds of individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One company \u2013 a leading logistics brand \u2013 bemoaned the fact that its shiny new restructure was being held back by employees who were \u2018resistant to change\u2019. This is a bit like a failing football manager blaming his players for not sticking to a system. The obvious question in both cases is to ask what work has been done to sell and promote the new ideas pre-implementation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By contrast, we know of a financial services firm which regularly canvasses workers before bringing in new changes. They don\u2019t exactly give the workforce a veto, but if a proposed initiative gets an especially lukewarm reception, it will often be shelved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"742\" height=\"121\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-3.png 742w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-3-300x49.png 300w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-3-150x24.png 150w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-3-696x113.png 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 742px) 100vw, 742px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">4. Too much focus on the bottom line<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As everybody knows, \u2018restructure\u2019 can often be a euphemism for \u2018redundancies\u2019. But even where there is some larger strategic shifting around of roles and reporting lines, it\u2019s dangerous to let cost reduction be the sole arbiter of what works best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, the healthcare sector provides an example of how this can backfire. During a recent project, we came across a global pharma business which laid off numerous staff, asked others to re-interview for their jobs and repurposed a key product role to make it more \u2018commercial\u2019. The aim was to reduce cost and drive up sales. In the short term it worked, but it soon became clear that the new arrangement came with some unsuspected drawbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, there was a lot of confusion among clients as to who they should be speaking to on any particular issue. Secondly, the company workforce was so demoralized that attrition spiked by over 10% during a six-month period. In other words, what started off as cost-reduction plan probably ended up costing the business money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"744\" height=\"118\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-4.png 744w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-4-300x48.png 300w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-4-150x24.png 150w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-4-696x110.png 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">5. The wrong things are centralized \/ decentralized<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common questions that organizational design experts have to grapple with is \u201cwhen to centralize?\u201d The correct answer of course will depend on any number of variables, including company footprint, market penetration, route(s) to market and brand recognition. But those companies that get the answer wrong usually do so for similar reasons.<br><br>Overly centralized setups often showcase a lack of understanding around regional nuances. On the other hand, structures which are too siloed underestimate corporate learning and the economies of \u2018best practice\u2019. Of course, a popular halfway house is to run centres of excellence; i.e. business units which establish best practice and roll this out to the relevant regions and BUs. But this begs a question \u2013 how do you ensure your CoE is properly structured itself?<br><br>Firstly, it must have real influence. That means it should be headed by a senior individual who commands respect across the business. It\u2019s also useful if \u2013 like a CPG company we studied \u2013 your CoE provides a career route in and out of other business units. Over time, this builds trust and disseminates best practice not via edict, but culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"747\" height=\"118\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-5.png 747w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-5-300x47.png 300w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-5-150x24.png 150w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reco-5-696x110.png 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>All restructures looked great on paper.
