      Inflated expectations from senior management. Investment in employees can be hit and miss
      Numerous restructuring has led to high turn over in some areas

      Advice to Management

      Ensure that management expectations are achievable. Look at why there's been high staff turnover in some areas and address the root causes.

      Okay product, however not sure as company should have gone out of way to have teams experience it!
