Dell shakes up its top ranks and raises the bar on how many people its senior managers must lead
Briefly

Dell is reorganizing its management structure for a flatter hierarchy, requiring vice presidents to manage at least 15 direct reports, and senior managers 20. This initiative aims to enhance agility in an increasingly AI-driven marketplace. The restructuring involves fewer management layers, expediting decision-making processes and driving empowerment among team members. Internal memos indicate a shift in roles, with some managers transitioning to individual contributors, representing a significant cultural shift towards leaner management and operational efficiency within the company.
We continually evolve our business so we're set up to deliver the best innovation, value and service to our customers and partners. This includes redefining how work gets done, with a flatter structure and fewer management layers so we can move faster in today's AI-driven world.
Some managers have been let go, while others have had their role classification changed from 'M' for manager to 'I' for individual contributor, which indicates an employee who has no direct reports.
