124.0. "Tension Relief During Tense Times" by POBOX::ZWIKEL () Wed Jun 17 1992 13:44

    As usual, rumors are flying about organization changes.  The primary
    ones being:
    
    o	The creation of "General Managers" for Government and 4 Geographies
    	(and that some of the hiring decisions for these positions have been
    	made already)
    o	Alignment of Sales and Sales Support around 4 "lines of business":
    		1. Commodity Products
    		2. Traditional Products
    		3. Systems Integration
    		4. Volume
    o	Movement of Account Managers (only the AMo's not the AGMo's) into
    	the cross-industry Account Groups
    o	Changes to the Industry Portfolio's
    
    It would be nice this time, if a senior manager would run host some
    periodic DVNs to keep the Field informed of progress in determining and
    setting up the new organization.  This would help relieve tension
    during some very tense-times.
    
    Respectfully Submitted,

124.1Admin had a DVN recentlyKYOA::ALHEIMWed Jun 17 1992 16:248
    In the Administration world we just had a DVN to at least keep people
    informed on their strategy, moving to Transaction centers and
    streamlining the orders and different transactions. However they didn't
    have ENOUGH details and really made people more confused. It's kind of
    a grey area, but I believe the more we communicate facts the better off
    we are.
