GM Structure and Performance

Structure
GM has decided a restructured North America organization with a flurry of key leadership changes across core North American brands, such as Chevrolet, Cadillac, and Buick-GMC. GM has found a better way to structure their organization. The structure is very simple, it is a clearer marketing focus to sell more vehicles, and freeing their sales and service experts to focus on customers and dealers. The key to becoming very successful in North America, they need the right mix of product, people, and structure. They have worked with a small group of executive to align the model and appoint the best candidates for each job. GM believes that the structure has been developed with few layers as possible to help between them, the dealer, and the customer. By removing the layers and giving leaders accountability this allows them to move faster and focus on what needs to be done.
