- What would you most like to see improved at your company?new leadership. a refreshed approach (not the buzzwords of the moment - cloud/AI, etc). a focus on morale and people. get out of politics. encourage people to speak up with new ideas
- What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?engaging. many seem to be "checked out" and just do their work without seeking ways to collaborate
- What's going wrong and how can it be improved?OT pushes for customers to go to the cloud, even when it has been proven that cloud providers overcharge as compared with on-prem. Customers are realizing the overpayments to cloud services and are starting to do cloud re-patriation. OT could benefit their customers by offering on-prem solutions.
