Our organization
A focused organizational structure
When our new leadership team came on board in 2021, they decided to overhaul Barco’s organizational structure. The matrix organization was replaced by a more focused model with six global business units. Every business unit handles sales, product management and R&D, while more general functions (services, sales support, operations, digitization, finance, HR, legal and Barco Labs) are managed on a global level.
It is clear that the new structure has boosted agility,market responsiveness as well as accountability and has been the perfect stepping-stone to get Barco’s business back to pre-covid-levels and ready for further growth.
Our operations remain centered around three markets: Entertainment, Enterprise and Healthcare. Each division now comprises two business units:
It makes so much business sense to bring R&D, supply chain, product and sales together in one team. More than accountability, this has truly fostered customer intimacy. It’s hard to prove but I’m sure our solid customer bonds have helped grow our business in 2022.Johan FornierEVP Surgical & Modality
