BBC director-general George Entwistle has unveiled his vision for "a more creative" corporation as he announced a slimmed-down management structure.
Mr Entwistle, who started work on Monday, told staff the organisation had settled "for less than we should" too often and declared the end of "fortress BBC".
He used a speech to staff to announce the formation of a new management board of 12 people replacing the 25-strong BBC Direction Group and announced the closure of the operations division.
