• Reducing the number of middle management positions, such as directors and department heads.
• Flattening the organizational structure by giving frontline employees more decision-making power and autonomy.
• Increasing communication and collaboration between different levels of the organization.

Delayering can help to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve business efficiency by eliminating bureaucracy and redundant layers of management. However, it can also create challenges, such as the loss of managerial expertise and increased pressure on frontline employees to take on more responsibilities. Successful delayering requires careful planning, clear communication, and a willingness to adapt to new ways of working.

Delayering is the removal of one or more layers of hierarchy from the management structure of an organisation.
