To: Abbott IT

Colleagues:

Over the past two years, our worldwide IT organization has made significant strides to standardize technologies and services to allow us to more easily support business operations. As part of our business planning process, Abbott IT business application organizations have assessed and evaluated how our operating model must further adapt to meet the evolving needs of our worldwide businesses. To put it simply, our organization must find ways to be much more operationally efficient. With this in mind, we are now proposing to implement two key initiatives.First, we are we moving to a new operating model that will enable us to provide more efficient business support. Under this new model, divisional IT will focus on IT strategy, demand management, and business process requirements, while a new centralized shared services organization will manage solution delivery to the divisions. Staff in corporate and divisional IT organizations will be realigned to support this shared services model.Second, we are transitioning a number of standardized activities to two leading industry suppliers. We have recently entered into agreements with two leading IT service providers to streamline, simplify, and standardize our operations and solutions. Working with these suppliers will enable us to increase operational efficiency, lower costs and increase overall service flexibility.This transformation is a major step in our worldwide IT evolution and will change how our IT Business Systems organization will operate within Abbott. As a result of these expected changes, there will be an impact to some of our staff members, including some position eliminations and, over the coming weeks, changes in job roles, functions, and/or reporting relationships across our worldwide organization. While I recognize this is a journey, it is our intent to address as much of our transformation impact up front and with as much transparency as possible so that we can quickly focus on driving greater strategic business capabilities.In the coming days and weeks, we will share more details about what is changing and what these changes mean for you. As decisions are made, we will communicate them openly while taking steps to minimize disruptions, both within our organization and for the businesses we serve.

I thank you in advance for your continued support and focus on serving the business.

Human Resources

 

It tanked like Marco.

 

May you get you deserve Nancy. Take that as you may.

 

What a major loss for us. Berce was an incredible driving force here.

 

said no one ever

 

Said IBM, we will no longer get the millions in contracts and be able to up charge the company for even more money for work that we didn't do in the first place.

 

Nancy was a useless stuffed shirt protecting loyal kiss ups like Laurie- they messed up, she still protected them - now she is fired! she did so much damage in her two years as CIO - its done much harm to Abbott. May she rest in peace. Laurie should go next ... and soon

 

Berce is retiring. You must be out of the loop.

 

"retiring" there fixed that for you

 

we will miss her in it department.

 

Congratulations! It's been nice run. I remember her before she was even a Manager. She's come a long way.

 

you mean when she thought an ERP was having everything on the same hardware?

Funny how not one word on yammer. I see all the suck ups are trying to distance themselves officially so when the new boss comes in they can claim they had nothing to do with the current mess.

Hey Mike, just assume when they are sucking up to you, they were sucking up to NB just as hard (if not harder)

 

The amount of damage her and the "girls club" have been able to do in the short time they were able to do it is breathtaking.

 

That "girls club" cost you IT geeks your job.

 

It's a shame that the higher you get to the top of the pyramid, no matter how successful or number of right decisions you've made, the more hated you are. In past years there have been hundreds of negative post targeting Miles White & Rick Gonzales, leaders of two of the most successful Pharma Companies in the world.

 

Hah Hah so true !

 

and now the girls club is out on the street where they belong

 

nahh, NB has a taste for being a corporate whore
