Org Update Card (HTML/CSS)
Best for: a concise internal team or organization update where the reader needs the structural change and the rationale quickly Avoid when: the announcement includes full role descriptions, staffing tables, or sensitive HR detail Answers: what changed in the organization, and how responsibilities are now grouped

Use 3–4 structural update blocks, each representing a team, function, or responsibility grouping.
Key Options
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
| Equal update blocks | Gives each org area one compact explanation |
| Structure-first labels | Keeps the announcement focused on the organizational change |
| Neutral palette | Fits internal update communications |
Pitfalls
- ❌ Including full job architecture in one card → ✅ this is for the update message, not the entire org design reference
- ❌ Mixing too many personnel details → ✅ keep the view at team or function level |
- ❌ Using this instead of an actual hierarchy view when reporting lines matter | ✅ switch to hierarchy examples when structure is the story |
Alternatives
| Variant | Use instead |
|---|---|
| Hierarchical org tree | platform-org-structure.md or team-reporting-tree.md |
| Policy change summary | policy-memo-card.md |
| Executive team brief | executive-brief-summary.md |
