What is the typical role of middle management in organizational design / redesign?

Middle management typicallycollaborates with senior leadership and strategy teams to shape organizational design and then communicates changes to ensure understanding and alignment at operational levels. They translate strategic decisions into practical organizational arrangements and foster acceptance within their teams. The IASP SPP curriculum highlights this bridging role as crucial for successful redesign and execution. Withholding information or sole responsibility by middle managers contradicts effective organizational design practices.【IASP SPP Study Guide - Organizational Design】【Ulrich, Human Resource Champions】
