IBM - I By Myself (Score 1)

IBM Club.... not a widely adopted, nor invested in approach. Now it is "IBM Spirit" to supplement the short comings of IBM Club. Most remote people don't have access to either. If you are in a few key large cities then you are okay, but what about the other 70% of the employee base? Not addressed. If you take that for granted, that you will lose all corporate/group dynamics and you like to work on your own, then, the new IBM is just fine. Yes, a lot of it comes across as Cheerleading. The real issues are much different. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Look over here at the shining lights! The real issues are more in the area of manpower management. Our Personnel Development Managers have 50-60-70 people reporting to them. They can't be effective at that rate. They are relegated to process people. That does little for personnel retention.
