So McKinsey’s strategy. That’s whom is influencing Cisco’s business decisions. A third party is far removed from what their destructive advice does to a company’s culture or motivation to lead. Why they got CR to think could he could afford Splunk after the last few years is beyond understanding.
In CPX, exit of Tony, Chris, Maria and forced move of Elissa to other group, who tried fix the corrupted system by combining CX/PX -> CPX lead to a big conspiracy by other leaders (IT/Commerce/SC/SaaS) who feared of losing the power.

It looks like all the ramsonware attacks have the management at a lot of smaller shops moving aggressively to the cloud. The cloud players are also baiting with AI hype. It looks like the moves off-premise are hurting Cisco, Dell, F5 and others. My advice to your leadership from outside is for your organization to gather talent as the cloud players have and attempt to re-establish Cisco as a world leader in security strategies including the complete elimination of passwords on client sites. Get out front and back in the spotlight with the security issues helping even where you were not involved or even asked.
