The biggest shake-up of government for more than 20 years has been announced.
Seven new departments are to be created, in a plan designed to focus government efforts on generating new income for the Island.
At the centre of it is a new Department of Economic Development, which will promote key sectors like manufacturing, financial services and tourism.
Government is stressing none of its functions will be lost in the restructure - and civil service jobs are not threatened.
This plan could be adopted as soon as April.
The shake-up is a regrouping of responsibilities under new new headings.
Only two existing departments remain intact; Home Affairs and Education, which becomes the Department of Education and Children.
Treasury hands responsibility for financial services to the new Department of Economic Development, which will also take in Tourism and some areas previously overseen by the Department of Trade and Industry. It also takes responsibility for the Companies registry from the FSC.
By bringing together key teams, the aim is to spearhead a drive to build the economy and increase revenues, following the reduction in the island's share of VAT revenues.
It was recommended by the Independent Review of the Scope and Structure of Government in 2006.
The DHSS is to be split in two - creating a Department of Health and a Department of Social Care.
DOLGE and the Department of Transport will also go in their present form.
A Department of the Environment will oversee environmental protection, public health and climate change.
Local government, planning, highways, airports and responsibility for the utilities will be overseen by a new Department of the Infrastructure.
Fishing, farming and forestry would be the remit of a new Department of Community, Culture and Leisure, which will also oversee leisure, sport, the arts and public transport.
Chief Minister Tony Brown says the overhaul is a response to the huge fiscal challenges ahead.
And this is the leadership and action demanded by the public and business community.
The change will be moved at this month's sitting of Tynwald, so any ministerial reshuffle will come after that.
