Unfortunately, every time we hear about the necessary transformation of the company, we get a less and less efficient company. Remaining employees are increasingly dissatisfied and less productive. Why transformations fail?

Because same old intel guys without any vision made CEO. Intel needs CEO from outside who has proven track record.
Why do you say something outrageous like 2 hours a week? If you said 2 hrs a day everyone would turn their head and look away?
I wish we could report such unethical folks who just coast and suck the blood out of the company, working just 2 hrs. They are such disservice to the organization and the planet.
Look at the numerous posts on this forum talking about working 2 hours per week and holding side jobs. It's no secret that there are tons of coasters at Intel who should be cut. If they were then the restructuring will make Intel more efficient. Unfortunately they won't because the people deciding who to cut, managers and directors, are coasters themselves. They will cut the hard workers who make them look bad so that they themselves can continue coasting.
DOOOOOOM: When the worst people are in charge of deciding what the best people should do.
Culture is difficult to change.
You have people in charge who have done things a certain way for decades.
To some extent those BKMs worked since Intel did dominate for some time.
Now that the world has changed, it is exceedingly difficult to change someone's mind who was and still is getting paid to not change their mind.
Transformations only work if all causes of problems are identified at all levels. Unfortunately, what happens is lots of blame at the bottom workers and some lower layers of management, while direction and management issues in the VP/C-suite are dismissed or ignored. Most of the time big company-wide problems are the fault of c-suite, and since c-suite doesnt accept responsibility of their failures and demands, you end up with the same stuff coming from above handled by newer employees below who adopt the BKMs, and the cycle continues.
