reorganize
Shake things up
To reorganize is to arrange something in a new way or restructure how it operates.
Companies reorganize departments, governments reorganize agencies, and individuals reorganize closets or schedules.
The word often signals significant change rather than minor adjustment: After the merger, they reorganized the entire sales division.
In legal contexts, a company that reorganizes under bankruptcy protection restructures its debts while continuing operations.
