Approves of CEO
Pros

Great people: smart, fun to work with.

Good benefits: facilities are good, salary and benefits are good.

Starting to focus on innovation and seems committed.

Cons

Lack of a solid business plan to win. Haven't figured out how to make money in a world moving towards free.

Technical staff are solid; they just work on the wrong things.

Need to allow more risk to try new stuff.

IIT and ability to spin up new projects is a huge barrier.

Advice to Management

Need to really fuel this innovation engine with a fail-fast model.

Outsource IIT. Put the dollars in PD, not IIT.

Understand the true value and benefit of standards. Decide based on risk and reward. Not everything needs to be standardized.
