Thanks for the comment and the four stars. In fact, we are making good progress in simplifying the company, as you advise. We've eliminated about six layers of management in certain parts of our operations and are leaning very heavily in agile decision-making. Smaller, self-directed teams are empowered to make decisions. It's showing up in the outcomes too, so we know that we are on to something, as we shave time off project delivery and development time.

Professional, holds itself together, can really do the business, but needs to stay focused.

Loosing it's way, literally took the food out the mouths of the children's christmas party.

Pros

IBM recognized 1,000 employees as "Best of IBM" based on nomination from their executive management in May, 2017 at the Fairmont Orchid on the Big Island, Hawaii. This was a HUGE recognition for me as a 19 year employee based on my 2016 performance. Embracing the strategic imperatives, gaining the requisite skills, and driving measurable performance around them is key to success in IBM.

Cons

Resistance to transform operational processes to embrace the Cloud and SaaS.
