New Microsoft CEO Vows To Shake Up Corporate Culture 204
jfruh (300774) writes New Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that he and his leadership team are taking "important steps to visibly change our culture" and that "nothing is off the table" on that score. While much of his declaration consists of vague and positive-sounding phrases ("increase the fluidity of information and ideas by taking actions to flatten the organization and develop leaner business processes"), he outlined his main goals for the shift: reduce time it takes to get things done by having fewer people involved in each decision; quantify outcomes for products and use that data to predict future trends; and increasing investment for employee training and development.

Try getting a decent version of Windows out the door Nadella, THEN you can anonymously pat yourself on the back in the comments.
I guess "nothing is off the table" means that astroturfing on social media sites is fair game too, eh Microsoft PR?
