Weak leadership, behind the times - Finance Woodward Employee Review

Woodward is striving to be lean but has not properly invested in business systems that allow efficient processes outside the manufacturing floor. They continue to make baby steps in the right direction, but the result is one system bolted onto another. Manual processes are still pervasive. Large projects are typically assigned to "members" to complete in addition to their standard workload and without project management training. Over-collaboration slows down progress and there is rarely a true decision maker.
