United Spirits revamps organisational structure

Processes have been put in place and the number of layers as well as the reporting structure have been rationalised, according to the newspaper.

United Spirits' new owner Diageo has carried out restructuring of the liquor major's internal organisational structure, reports a business daily.

Processes have been put in place and the number of layers as well as the reporting structure have been rationalised, according to the newspaper.

The new Diageo management has also set up an eight-member executive committee that reports directly to Managing Director & CEO Anand Kripalu, says the daily.

It has also set up a management committee that consists of 20 members. 

While the executive committee meets every month, the managing committee meets every quarter. 

“Ultimately, business is about connecting the dots horizontally. You have to cascade the ideas given by your employees,” Kripalu told the daily.

“I don’t think we should be a victim of the processes. We should be liberated by the processes. It takes away a lot of transactional failures that you encounter in business,” he adds.
