I've wondered at the organisational chart myself, even when it isn't a question but a presentation at the start of the interview it seems pointless. "Hey, you! candidate, here is some information that is only relevant if you get the job and only then six months down the line. You have no control over this at all, and when the new CEO starts in June it will all change anyway, the people you see here today you will never see again! Coool, huh?!"
It's like getting the bus timetable during the interview to make sure you get there on Monday in 5 weeks time. IF you get hired.
Oh and the one time we went through this and I then recognized the CEO in the corridor 1.5 hours later, they thought I was mad for saying "is that the CEO from the presentation just now?".

Knowing how many people are between you and the CEO can hint to you you something about the culture. Memorizing the names or anything on it does seem quite pointless though.
