Most companies reshuffle the org chart when things aren't going according to plan. Honda apparently looked at a fiscal year where its Powersports and Marine divisions beat their sales targets and decided it was the perfect time to start moving departments around instead. It's a little like celebrating a race win by rebuilding the pit garage. Strange at first glance, but there's actually some logic behind it.
American Honda has announced a major restructuring of its Power Sports & Products (PS&P) center, bringing its Powersports, Power Equipment, and Marine businesses under a new unified operating structure. Before anyone starts wondering if this means a surprise motorcycle launch or some wild new platform, this is all happening behind the scenes. The bikes aren't changing today. The people making decisions about them, however, are getting a different playbook.
