Leadership Churn backstabbing and whispering A majority of customers did not glean enough value from their investments.

The organization consists of many different business units, each with its own culture, and the differences can be significant. Speaking specifically about the unit I am part of, the environment diverges greatly from what one would expect in an R&D‑driven culture. Management tends to be risk‑averse and is reluctant to support new ideas. Although innovation naturally involves uncertainty, the expectation is for “risk‑free” ideas, which is unrealistic for genuine R&D work. Employees who propose new concepts may face scrutiny or even blame if any issues arise, which discourages initiative. Over time, this has created a culture where people avoid proposing new ideas altogether, leading to overly conservative thinking and ultimately resulting in less competitive products.
