On April 1 2020, Toyota Motor Corporation announced a change in its executive structure. Due to the change in the executive structure, the company integrated the former executive vice president and executive officers into executive officers.
After identifying the executive officers, they were divided into the chief officer, the company president, the regional CEO, and each function, and the roles of each were clarified. The role is not fixed, and the right person is assigned from time to time.
With regard to this system change, Mr. Akio Toyoda says: “Based on the idea of “putting the right people in the right jobs, we have been flexibly implementing executive personnel and organizational reforms, without being constrained by conventional practices. We have decided to increase the time that we are plagued together by these changes by holding direct conversations with next-generation leaders by further reducing the ranks of the executive officers and organizational reforms. For the next generation, I believe that what I must do now is to restore, above all, the characteristics of Toyota.”
Through this reorganization, the Company intends to further promote the flow of these reforms and aim to create a system that considers management from the optimum viewpoint as a global Toyota.
