Pros

Process guidance and proscribed training programs to build skills internally.

Cons

Financially focused decision-making blocks strategic transformation initiatives. Understaffing and underfunding important initiatives ensures failure. Constant management to EPS number and obsessive focus on unattainable PTI result in missed market opportunities.

Advice to Management

Spend money to make money. What you fund is what's important. Words and checkbook must match.
