Pros

Satya Nadella is a great CEO and has a great strategy. The company is competing very well with its competitors. Great people are working in Redmond.

Cons

Local branches in Europe are, essentially, sales organizations. Short-sighted, they are not interested in providing business value to the customer. Their only objective is to sell everything as fast as possible (typically for yesterday).

Advice to Management

Reduce the organizational distance between Redmond and local branches.

Check directly the distortions of the strategy and rules that are happening in the local branches outside the USA.
