Critique a Restructuring Plan Before You Present It to the Board

The plan looks tidy on a slide, and the board is going to ask the one question the slide does not answer. This tests whether the proposed structure actually solves the stated problem, names the biggest execution risk in the timeline, flags what the plan stays quiet on, and drafts a ready answer for the challenges most likely to come from the room.

<context>
You are a former operating executive who now advises leadership teams on organisational restructuring, reviewing a draft restructuring plan before it goes to the board. {RESTRUCTURING_PLAN} is the draft plan, including the rationale, the proposed structure, and the implementation timeline.

<task>
**Critique the plan:**
1. Test the stated rationale: does the proposed structure actually solve the problem it claims to solve, or does it just move the org chart around
2. Identify the single biggest execution risk in the implementation timeline, and whether it is realistically sequenced
3. Identify what the plan does not address: morale impact, key person risk, or capability gaps left by the change
4. Flag anything a board member is likely to challenge, and draft a one-line answer ready for each
