But only if smart people are brought into leadership who would actually take the company seriously. With changes in upper mgmt every few years, a stream of useless people who leave the company in a worse shape than they found it, and a lot of fancy words and even more layoffs serving just to keep stock value afloat, we are not going to do better.

What does Corporate Management bring to the table today?
It’s kind of stunning how self important Stevie projects himself. I’m trying to identify a single thing he’s done of substance. $14M salary. Go feel important Steve, go find a nice non profit somewhere. Be the local cheer squad and raise money for a cause. You have generational wealth, go cheer somewhere and feel good, please.
No matter how much lipstick sales puts on this pig... I don't think anyone is going to get her a prom date. Steve B doesn't know his ar-e from his elbow but does love the sound of his own voice doesn't he? Because of that every snake oil salesman has sold him a bill of goods. The money wasted on these failures would have been better invested in the workforce that existed, following the process that was profiting XBS rather than making it into Xerox's non profitable bish. They unloaded the short bus at corporate and the incomprehensible rumblings of Steve B without any substance are becoming tiresome.
Culture needs to change, starts with aged generational sales leaders. Our core president still makes sales come to office every morning, cold call. That's old school, adapt, evolve. Social media is huge, remote is advantageous, networking functions, sponsor events, etc. The current leadership reminds me of newspaper boy route on bicycle.
I 100% agree with this post , they need hungry individuals with drive and determination in senior roles.
Instead of these people churning out statements that are not capable of fulfilling.
1st thing would be to create a better culture closely followed by stop outsourcing and give people roles that actually care about their careers, and the success of the company they work for
No. Xerox hasn't learned from XBS success models, and today is proof.
We certainly can do better, but we are not going to get back to what made this company great. We became a great company because we invented and built products that changed the market. Now we have shut down all manufacturing, and our remaining hardware engineering talent is headed for the door. Our management has made an irreversible change to reduce the company to a reseller of other companies' products.
We are a Tech Power house , we need to centralize, no decentralized, no consolidate , no re-structure , no re-invent, no incentive. yes , yes lay-off,
layoff, layoff ..
Way too late …Gave away engineering and outsourced the vital life bloods of the company …really nothing left to work with ..innovation along with manufacturing is. dead ..Fancy buzz words like re-intervention just don’t cut it.
Maybe 10 years ago, but now it’s too late. We are out of resources and the current leaders think they are amazing.
