The premise
Reorgs are expensive to undo. AI can lay out 3-4 structure options with trade-offs so you compare them on paper before the rumors start.
What AI does well here
- Sketch functional vs. pod vs. matrix structures for your size
- List the trade-offs each structure makes (speed, specialization, accountability)
- Suggest which roles need to change vs. stay
- Draft talking points for the announcement
What AI cannot do
- Predict who will quit if their reporting line changes
- Read the political history between your VPs
- Decide who's actually performing well enough to lead a new pod
- Replace 1:1 conversations with affected leaders
