No fixed reductions?

There are no fixed reductions scheduled when it comes to headcount. Reductions will be based on the approved operating budgets and what it takes for groups to meet or get under those budgets. Capital spending will be reduced overall and capital spending on projects will be prioritized based on rate of return. Resources will be allocated based on what gets approved. This will also drive headcount.

Specific business units should have hard numbers for headcount reduction already. Theybare probably the ones that already didnt hit their 2018 numbers.

Jon Stephans organization is ultimatly responsible for headcount. They are the ones who tell business units when and how much to trim. It's all about the big picture money.

It’s wishful thinking. Sure pure budget drives some force decisions but make no mistake. There are business units implementing hard headcount reduction numbers.

Well that's how Lean Product Management works. You assign business value, a proxy for ROI, to each project to decide which work has priority. You're also supposed to break the projects into smaller pieces and only fund the most valuable parts of each project.
