Its anyone's guess as to what Alan will come up with on the 27th.
Remember. Alan's got form.
He provided evidence to a senate inquiry that he woke up one morning in 2011 and decided to ground an airline.
*** Im not advocating he's going to ground the airline ***
But it does indicate the traits of a knee jerk management style.
If Alan was working to script. That he was following a pre determined path. Continuing to push the 4 pillar strategy house.
Then why the need for a "Strategic Review"?
Perhaps the outcome of a strategic review will determine the the previous business transformation wasn't working well for the group.
Again. If the 4 pillar strategy was working AJ wouldn't be calling for a review. They would either continue or accelerate the program.
I wonder if the big institutionals have finally said to Al. Enoughs is enough we've given you a few years and we are yet to see the returns?
Maybe a new CEO, but not yet!
Alan's review may actually be the new CEO's plan. Introduced by Alan to allow him to escape with a golden parachute and a smooth transition to a new management team.
All will be revealed in 6 days.
