Today, Nissan announced important updates regarding its organization and leadership structure, integral to the company's turnaround plans and as a continuation of the recent changes announced about the executive committee last week.
To enhance decision-making speed and efficiency, Nissan's top management will transition to a single-layer, non-officer framework. All corporate officers will henceforth be assuming the title of Corporate Executive (CE). This change will result in a 20% reduction in top management positions, creating a streamlined and borderless organization.
This is also part of Nissan’s commitment to improving decision-making efficiency by simplifying organizational layers and expanding the span of control. These changes are designed to empower regions and establish clear roles and responsibilities within the organization.
These changes will take effect on April 1.
