Yes and he actually stated that he regret not bringing in more semiconductor experienced people on the board, so it seems that he recognizes the failure on his side
> i. Incentivize rank and file who perform well. "We didn't meet targets as a company so nobody gets anything" is completely unacceptable.
Yup. Nothing kills motivation like the idiot or power-hungry political narcisissist down the hall gets stock options and you get to slave in the cellar.
> ii. Stop the constant layoffs for "underperforming" - nothing kills a company faster.
Dunno, my last company went down because they did NOT let the underperformers loose but played the whole "SCRUM mean everyone is equal and happy and in touch with their feelings" game. As opposed to letting people who are domain experts do their domain expert thing.
> i. Get rid of lines of business that do not contribute to core company. IT consulting services - seriously?
Intel does IT consulting?! Seriously? Why?
The only thing they should consult on is custom chip or interface design for niche markets.
> ii. Build your brand up again. You've lost it to the competition steadily over the past 20 years. Hire an all star marketing team and pay them significantly more than what they are worth.
Please no. Intel is only riding on marketing and they do not innovate. As soon as they have a dominant position they sit on their butts and let the marketeers suck the last drop of blood out of the market. Apples push into ARM silicon that outguns Intel in every measure and AMD breathing into their necks is a very good thing for the world. If you WintelSoft a break they will again dominate he IT world like a cancer for 20 years like they did from the late 90s.The little innovation they tried (Itanium/Itanic) was basically a raging dumpster fire.
