The senior leadership at TD seem to try to be playing superheroes but in actuality they are milking the coffers. After the "ring the bell" event on Wall Street which did almost nothing. No real PR about the product.
They are going on this global "tour of the possible" that I suppose is to generate interest, but it doesn't appear to be doing so. Not to mention, I haven't seen any new ideas coming out of them in a very, very long time. Their current MO is to rename/repaint existing methods and technologies and pretend it is something new.

Hopefully you are doing something too. It isn't some executive's job to deliver PR or Sales or Code. Yes, we should blame them for bad leadership, but we should blame ourselves for not executing
