Burgmann in his introduction to the "CSIRO Thirtieth Annual Report 1977/78" noted: "The new top management structure decided by the Government for CSIRO together with the proposed grouping of Divisions into Institutes, are broadly similar to the proposals advanced by the Executive to the Inquiry. They will jrrovide the Executive with the means of achieving improved effectiveness in determining policies and priorities and in allocating resources. The fact that the Directors of the Institutes will actively participate in the decision-making processes of the Executive will ensure the cohesiveness of the Organization and the streamlining of its managerial processes." This new structure was implemented by the incoming Chairman, J.P. Wild, in 1978 and reported in the "CSIRO Annual Report 1978/79". As reported in "CSIRO Annual Report 1995/96" a major restructure replaced the Institutes with the concept of "Sectors of the national economy and its natural resources. . . . the 22 Sectors are grouped informally into five Alliances to facilitate strategic consideration of the needs of customers, while Divisions retain responsibility for the development and maintenance of CSIRO's scientific skill-base."
