Cisco's management is responsive and uses surveys to understand employee sentiment, market trends, and the latest business processes and standards. As a big company, it's not easy to implement changes overnight, but Cisco endeavors to bring in constructive changes slowly. It realizes it needs to make project teams more nimble and agile, which it is doing.
