Because that is what the McKinsey PowerPoint slides suggested BB do !
Plus just like every new CEO, BB needs to show his stamp of authority and look smart.
That's the issue. A new CEO comes in, and un-do the actions from previous CEO. What a joke.
plant worker using AI,, fair pay to him/her, they are maybe a bit smarter than you professional educated plebs
How many times can you rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic?
Call that A3M 2.0
Okay here’s whatcha gotta do. Do not sell this as going back to the old way of doing things. That’ll never fly. Ya gotta sell it as being all new. That’s what they wanna hear. All new.
When a plant worker tries using AI to write a response to try and not sound like a plant worker.
I remembered 10 years ago when I joined. They were run under country leadership, for example greater China was on their own. Then came A3M that changed it all to global. Now looks like they are going back to country structure for greater China. This company doesn't seem to know what it wants.
You can't utter A3M, but you can udder A3M.
Whenever there is a major change in operating model announced prior to an upcoming earning call, it gives a sense that the results outcome is not going to be Good.
McKinsey suggested. Bill followed.
LOOOOOL….yet another change to the operating model. The last one went marvelously and aged about as well as milk. Are we even allowed to utter “A3M” at this point?

I’m sure this next operating model will be the right one.
Slowly undoing Advance 3M. Good move.
I’m sorry, what? Who wrote this? I can’t understand a thing you wrote. It comes off as MBA Corp speak or some fancy words in a presentation to the board to rationalize yet another shift in strategy by 3M. If we actually had a strategic plan that was able to look outward and beyond a year from now perhaps we could be more clear and just admit there has been no plan.
Global risks are affecting every company around the world. There's a globalization of risk but a nationalization of resilience. There's a geopolitical order and a globalization order that are, themselves, unstable. Resilience is complicated by the evaporation of three key drivers of smooth or “benign” globalization we have enjoyed for four decades: cheap capital, labor, and energy. Perhaps BB recognizes that a single global operating model doesn't work, we have to be smarter!
