Pros

IBM has incredible potential and is capable of operating at a scale that no one else can.

Cons

No one in the leadership understands what needs to happen to change the organization. As a result, everyone is measured in a horribly counter-productive manner.

We promote people far too quickly, offering them limited support along the way.

IBM iX does not understand what modern technology looks like, and its vision of technical investment is taking the Adobe account partner out for dinner. It's laughably bad.

Advice to Management

If you genuinely want to change, you need to stop celebrating mediocrity and start letting go of all the outdated partners and APs which are holding your business back.
