Here's my objective proposal to help make GT more focussed, leaner & stronger:
1) Have one primary domain leader. Merge Sr Director Engg & Sr Director Product into one role and have engineering, product, architecture roll into that one leader.
2) Product has been doing program management. Core product mindset is rare. Slim down product org, identify strong candidates, promote them, plan for exhaustive training. This is very critical, else GT will keep doing stuff that don't matter to business.
3) Identify candidates with broad domain knowledge, roll into architecture and make them accountable from broader initiatives.
4) Put a strong process in place to validate ROIs. Stop leaders from funding their teams to build their empires.
5) Stop layoffs every 8 months. Give people space and energy to focus on doing things that will benefit Nike instead of focussing on doing "things" to save them from the next layoff.
6) Keep a balance between ITC and PHK. Going full ITC to save few dollars will eventually hurt Nike in the long run. We have great engineers in ITC but PHK is close to business in all sense.
