I want to be positive and optimistic (not a good trait on this website) about the changes and the move to the sport offence, but come on! Did you see that org chart? (Just go to the support documents in Workday) Over a hundred VPs in the first level (which should make the total about 300+ since most have VPs reporting to them), and every single sport is a whole org now. EH mention he has flattened the org because he has ~15 reports now, but what about the rest? I’m gonna just blame on my own stupidity for not understanding how this is progress.

for those of us 'let go' and unable to access workday to view the latest org charts, say more. I want to see this new shuffled up structure.
The answer is no. Not only that, I would also be very curious to see what's the ratio between people manager and IC at Nike, I bet the number is going to be astonishing.
Organization simplified with no talents to make it work.

18 months….maybe 6 months in GT
Give it 18 months. Then the org will be bureaucratically bloated again from all the VPs hiring their external buddies. Rinse and repeat. Same as it ever was.
It used to be 400 VPs at some point. If you think about it, it's big progress.
I’m looking forward to multiple VPs giving me direction on how to run server in AWS and all the architects telling me to run it somewhere elsr
It's best not to try and make sense of a bunch of BS.
For real... it shouldn't make sense to you because it's pure marketing BS made up by said VP's in collaboration with some consulting company.
"control the narrative and make it favorable to your image/goal".
Hah! I actually found this out today as well and I even put it on Copilot to ask how many VPs there was on the org shift file, copilot said ~120!
More VP means we get to do more.
