We don't need no stinkin' org charts....

Back in May, I reported on this Freedom of Information exchange...about the new divisional groups at the BBC, and the way they are organised.

"Can you provide me a current organisational chart of each group in diagram format?"

"We can confirm that the BBC does not hold this information; due to the size and changing nature of the BBC workforce we do not have visual diagrams representing the structure of the BBC. The Act does not require us to create new information in order to satisfy a request."

I thought that extraordinary, but, faced with a second enquiry, the BBC is sticking to its guns - there are no organisational charts. None. Aucun. Ninguna.

"Since you do not have visual diagrams representing the entire structure of the BBC, would be possible to have the diagrams for the division listed in your reply (DDG, Content, Nations and Regions, News, Radio & Education) ?"

"Under section 1(1) of the Act, we can confirm that the BBC does not hold this information. The Act does not require us to create new information in order to satisfy a request."

  1. I work in the tragic HR department in the not so good Shared service centre. They are lying. Back in 2015 to 2016 they implemted a system for performance management called with a supplier "success factors" for online PDRs. This links to the SAP system and allows you to do a structure chart view of the hierarchy from top to bottom of the BBC in one click. I would ask for the structure chart from the success factors system that was implemented. This is printable and can be downloaded.
