How to accelerate performance post restructure

Organisational Change 07th January 2026

At Rubica, we’ve supported numerous clients through restructures and transformation programmes, and observed recurring pharma transformation pitfalls that have a major impact on the speed and magnitude of desired performance improvements. In this suite of videos we share what these pitfalls are and how to avoid falling victim to them. 

How Pharma can accelerate performance post-restructure. Pitfall #1: Avoiding the “Tangled Red Thread”

The “red thread” refers to the clear line of sight between strategic goals, performance metrics, and the ways of working required to achieve them. When this thread becomes tangled, teams lose clarity. They’re busy, projects are multiplying, but impact is unclear. Leaders debate what success looks like, while teams ask for direction despite new structures and roles.

This misalignment often stems from a common assumption: that organisational design operating models alone create clarity. But in reality, redrawing org charts and redefining accountabilities doesn’t automatically translate strategic goals into meaningful strategy execution.

In this video we explore how to avoid falling victim to this pitfall post restructure.

How Pharma can accelerate performance post-restructure. Pitfall #2: Neglecting the “Critical Few”

Neglecting the critical few is a common trap we can fall into post restructure. It is where change efforts are spread too broadly, rather than focused on the roles and teams that drive the greatest near-term value.

In this video we explore how to avoid falling victim to this pitfall post restructure.

How Pharma can accelerate performance post-restructure. Pitfall #3: Ignoring the roots to resistance

Restructures inevitably see some fundamental shifts in roles, and whilst people may understand ‘what they need to do’ and ‘where they need to go’, there may still be resistance to do this.

In this video we explore how this resistance shows up and how to manage it in the wake of a restructure.
