Business restructuring is one of the most high-stakes challenges any organisation faces. Done well, it can unlock new ways of working, sharper operating models and renewed competitive advantage. Done badly, it puts people, performance and culture at risk – often all at once.
This whitepaper draws on our experience at LACE Partners in supporting organisations through complex restructuring programmes, with recommendations on what Chief People Officers (CPOs) can do next if they are going through this process.
It’s a practical guide for HR and business leaders navigating the reality of restructuring – not the theory. Inside, you’ll find the frameworks, decisions and hard lessons that shape whether a restructure succeeds or stalls.
What’s in this guide?
Key insights include:
The most common reasons restructuring programmes fail, and what to do differently
How to build a robust case for change that secures leadership alignment
The role of HR in shaping, communicating and embedding a restructure
Practical guidance on workforce planning, role design and organisational change

What ‘done’ looks like, and how to measure whether a restructure has landed
