    Depends on the level - the CIO/COO is attempting to implement a plan with slim chances of success, while doing two separate c-level jobs. His direct reports seem scattered and inconsistent, more focused on turf wars than execution of the strategy, or even thoughtful comment on it. At the VP level (next down), there are some very capable people, hamstrung in the turf/budget wars mentioned previously. The directors run the gamut from ridiculously over qualified to just as ridiculously incompetent. Line managers do their best, but for some reason, “simplification” in the Technology group has resulted in two or three new layers of management, and complicated workflows. With the loss of many talented and effective managers to re-organizations since 2011, confusion is high, and morale very low.
