How many VPs , SVPs, Heads of This or That do we have working at Dell currently? How many of them are actually doing something useful?

Definitely a top-heavy company. Too many VPs amd SVPs in U.S. alone.
If you're talking about ISG, you could remove every incestuous Director, VP, SVP, and self-appointed fellow of this or that and you wouldn't notice a difference. If anything, productivity would likely skyrocket. They're useless.
When I started at Dell in 2001, I could count on one hand the number of people between me and the top guy, and have fingers left over. When I left in 2024, it was more than double the number of people between me and him.
