Pros

-80/20 has the potential to be a great business system, but needs more standardized training.

Cons

-Presidents / VPs extremely temperamental -Very against lean / visual management / six sigma problem solving tools, even if they have helped solve problems in that business unit. President’s quote “Lean isn’t ITW” -Senior leaders have a “do what I say, you don’t need to understand why” attitude -Poor performers and extremely unprofessional employees are rarely dealt with -You are asked to do things “ the ITW way” with little to no guidance or training programs as to what that means in practice
