I agree with adding partners to this, there aren't many good ones left and the majority of them are nothing more than snakes in the grass.

Sometimes I think Cisco is a travel agency than a tech company. (People are always looking for training and travel... 15% of Cisco work hard...)

We need CSEs to do the job AMs was supposed to do, but are too fat and lazy to actually execute on.

  1. Marketing really has no clue, they try to spend dollars in the C suite and forget how actually buys our gear.
  2. CX - invest in TAC, cut PMs, reduce CSEs, find MM some side project (see Amy Chang)
  3. Software/Licensing is away changing so even if we get it right we will soon change it.
  4. Young AMs/SEs. We have some great ones but the level of talent is nothing like it was 10-15 years back. In a pool of 10 AMs/SEs you have a few gems but 3 of the 10 could not work in the Cisco of 15 years ago. Simple would not have made the cut.
