## Prompt

```text
Help me assess the people impact of a planned reorganization I'm supporting.

**Current structure:** [teams, roles, reporting lines, headcount]
**Proposed structure:** [NEW org design]
**Reason for the change:** [BUSINESS RATIONALE]
**Timeline:** [ANNOUNCEMENT and effective dates]
**Locations and employee groups:** [countries/states, unions or works councils if any]

Analyze:
1. **Role mapping** - table of each current role: unchanged / changed scope / new manager / new role / eliminated. Flag where the new role is materially different (may require selection rather than slotting).
2. **Selection approach** for new or reduced roles - criteria and a fair process.
3. **Pay and level impacts** - changes in scope that may trigger regrading or create pay inconsistencies.
4. **Legal and process checks** - consultation requirements, notice, contract changes [CONFIRM LOCAL LAW].
5. **People risks** - key talent flight risk, managers losing reports, spans of control too wide or narrow, gaps in critical skills.
6. **Change and communication plan** - sequence (who hears first), manager briefings, 1:1s for directly impacted people, team messages, and follow-up.
7. **30/60/90-day stabilization plan** - check-ins, early warning signs, engagement pulse.

Flag decisions leadership still needs to make and do not assume details I haven't provided.
