I went to check out the site few times and I cannot stop seeing that all Nike
is trying to lead you to item that they have. Not what I am looking for.
If I am looking for specific Nike then one would have better luck in amazon.
Nike is failing in their own website. There is more Nike in amazon then Nike.com
@c0 just you they were responding to something about front end lol. And they aren't wrong. Every year tech goes through aop and cannot bring in most of what the business asks for. To accommodate new work lots of things are dropped and this even happens during the year as new things come up. Gt orgs always have reduced budget yoy, never flat
do more with less is not a good constant if you also expect to see innovation and improvement of platforms and svcs. Tech leaders who do not plan for the future and push back on demand is a whole other world of problems. This seems like a pretty difficult concept to grasp for the lukewarm iq crowd here
…who said the front-end is the only problem?
@aa 5000 people? You think 5000 people work on front end? Did you even read what @a2 wrote? Is nuance not in your dictionary? GT is a cautionary tale of an open and shut leadership issue with prioritization and owning a directional roadmap for longer than a couple months before the next said "shiny thing" distracts them and turns the last thing into a bunch of half done abandoneware lacking future support. That is the state of web.
Its so painfully obvious when people like yourself and op don't actually understand what is going on under the hood of your own company and what it takes to support it. Fu--ing apply yourself!
@a9 is that effort lead by the Analytics Team? Who heads that up?
@ab yup. Getting rid of wholesale channels - propping up rival brands in the process - was a stupid strategy. Wasn’t that Heidi O’s strategy and leadership… or is she just the scapegoat? Lulu stock holders don’t seem too excited to have her as their new CEO. At least not initially.
This is largely due to prior rounds of cuts in Product and Design. Product is completely hollowed out. The product managers that are left are spread across many different surfaces. Engineers don't control the product, they implement.
@OP well since its Nike.com effort su-ks. Now they can be an amazon bi--h and sell it in the platform
@a2 in my opinion, Nike needs get back to basics and bring more SHOES people.
Don't need too many tech people.
They need talented marketer.
Shoes design people
Start from the bottom and execute.
Ignore wall street and look for long term
@a2 I am OP and being with Nike before they were into net effort and after net efforts, all I wanted to say is that I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT IS ALL THEY HAVE TO SHOW FOR. FYI, Nike started to into internet around mid 90s.
I was there when MP and their cronies screamed that getting rid of independent and reducing the door was the answer.
I was there when JD declared that they will do everything direct and get rid of third party dealers.
I am here looking at EH acting like little child lost in Disneyland after he got separated from his parents.
After all the bru haha, that is IT!!! That is all that Nike can show for!!! That is disappointment.
FYI, I don't know how many people in this site is aware of it but I was offered a job Nike's secret project in METAVERSE!! LOL. It was separate project that Nike wanted to run from corporate. I turned down because I had to relocate to Houston, TX and I don't like humidity. But ultimately I don't trust NIKE. LIke Facebook's Metaverse effort, Nike's effort is finished!! My friend took the position but he is out of job but I do have the job, at least for now. LOL
uhhh…. no.
tech “leaders” and the ceo took us in new, stupid directions based on their asinine McKinsey recommendations instead of actual thinking.
But sure keep blaming the tech employees who have to follow their “leaders” strategy. I should also quote “strategy” since that’s a complete joke too.
@a2 if it takes 5000 people to make a sub par digital experience, yes; the answer (at the moment) is to cut.
If the number one (by traffic) destination for a consumer to interact with Nike is sub par, it is time to cut.
It is sub par. Don’t argue with this. No one did this to tech. Tech held itself back.
The Nike app is also cr-ppy. The “AI search” capability is infantile. I think the folks building the app have stopped innovating and i hope some of those leaders are going to have a moment of reckoning today.
nike.com is marginally better than zero. which isn’t even better than servicenow.
Nike.com love you long time, my OP poster.
So op after seeing that do you think the answer is to cut the people and funding to make it happen? Maybe it should be looked at with other priorities and made a goal we stick to?
This is the open book test our garbage leadership is failing year of year, chasing NKE and new shiny things, all while the people who could and do actually turn the gears get trashed
Cut more funding and you can make it more trashier
