Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

The way we're engaging our customers is a big mess

Each offering group has its own confusing structure and way of working with customers. The Account Executives in charge of managing customer accounts are not given enough importance and are buried deep in the corporate hierarchy. The persons at the top, who are in charge of the overall offering groups, have little experience in actually managing customer accounts and spent most of their career preparing sales presentations on a narrow technology domain. This chaotic situation is the reason for lack of revenue and the layoffs.

@6gia+1qwhUCia said it perfectly.

I suggested few years back, that we needed to simplify and standardise how all customers engage with DXC. Idea [REJECTED] - it was going to cost money to build a nice portal. We're still running the client's legacy paper forms for them, but 15 years on it's now seen as DXC process. And here we are - even we don't know how customers are supposed to get us to do work. So we end up doing a lot of it for "free", because most tasks are simply not worth the paperwork.

AE who are close to the customer and meet the customer every day should be the king. Everybody else should support him/her. Otherwise we are setting ourselves for failure.
