190.0. "Shakin' those Bird Cages again?" by RCOCER::MICKOL (Almost 'Falling Down') Fri Apr 23 1993 00:50

Does anyone understand what all of the recent organizational announcement from 
Russ Gullotti mean? How does it all fit together with our new CBU structure? 
The latest announcement has our District Manager listed as the New England PC 
Manager?! I've asked my management this same question.

The simpler Digital's organization gets, the more confused I get.

I assume its still hierarchical, so how about a org chart that tells me where 
people fit in the grand scheme of things, what their responsibilities are and 
what value they add to Digital. I'm having real trouble understanding the last
one (added-value).

Regards,

Jim

Well, the birdcage seems to have fewer inhabitants.  I believe 25 or so
AGM's no longer have that job (although history does indicate that they will
find another perch!).  I'm fortunate that my AGM (Macli - NYFD) is still in
place, but what's happening with all those who don't fit neatly into the
new org?  Are we creating larger Account Groups wth remote managers?  Nobody
has seen fit to tell us what the organization will look like yet, just who
some of the players are.  I wonder though, is the organization design set yet?

We also got this cryptic announcement yesterday. For the life of me I can't
figure out what this really means.  Can someome enlighten this dull 
salescritter?

Subject: ANNOUNCEMENTS - REGIONAL MARKET CENTER MANAGERS             

         One of the keys to success of our U.S. based Business Units 
         will be the availability of skilled resources that will be 
         shared by each Business Unit on an "as needed" basis.  The 
         U.S. Design Team has received the unanimous support of the 
         U.S. Management Team to assign these resources to five newly 
         created Regional Market Centers (RMC).  
         
         I am very pleased to announce the appointment of our five RMC 
         Managers:
         
              Central 		       Dave Salmi
              Northeast 	       Rita Foley
              Western 		       Cecil Dye
              Southern 		       Frank Bowden
              Mid-Atlantic 	       Robert Cartwright
         
         The five RMC Managers will be responsible for fulfilling 
         contracts with the U.S. Territory Business Unit Managers.  
         These contracts will require the RMCs to provide high-yield 
         and high utilization of low cost selling, support and 
         delivery people.  These resources will include:
         
              o  MCS new business sales
              o  Sales Specialists, e.g., Workstations, high 
              	 performance computing
              o  Marketing Operations, e.g., events, lead
                 management
              o  Channel management of horizontal business partners
              o  Professional Service Centers for all non-vertical 
              	 industry Service and Sales Support personnel
              o	 Salesforce members assigned to an industry but not 
              	 otherwise assigned to an industry district
         
         In addition to providing the span of management of the 
         resources named above, the RMC Managers are the team leaders 
         for helping to resolve cross-functional, cross-business unit 
         teaming issues.  They are also being asked to represent 
         Digital as the host managers to the geographical communities 
         for which they are responsible.
         
         Until a U.S. Sales Vice President is named, these RMC 
         Managers will report to me directly.

    My guess is that the AGM's (Level 41) who were not selected by an CBU
    will interview for the fewer Sales Unit Manager (Level 40) jobs that
    will remain.  The Sales Managers who are not selected will then try to
    get the sales reps jobs (Levels 39 and below).  The sales reps who are
    not selected by CBU or the local Marketing centers will probably have
    to leave.  The question we have out here is what is the selection
    process for getting into a CBU?  Sounds like a beauty contest to me!
    
    Nobody has asked me or anybody else that I have spoken with for a 
    resume, a preference or skill set.
    
    Interesting times!
