Barclays reorganization: good in parts

Tim Throsby needs to strike a balance between upheaval and stability.

Banks love reorganizations (bankers, of course, hate them). But few banks embrace them quite as regularly as Barclays seems to these days. 

The latest – marking new corporate and investment bank head Tim Throsby’s first real stab at the org chart – is a bit of a conundrum.

On the banking side, it is hard to argue with the logic. Having a single global head of banking in Joe McGrath should avoid the typical problem of co-heads being merely the heads of whatever region each of them is running. 

Rejigging the Europe structure makes sense too.
