Pros
Non-stock market company, long term outlook on business Great culture and company pedigree, high employee loyalty Best team of people in the industry though lost much blood in recent years Global presence and reach, historically a pioneering mindset Premium product and solutions with quality, reliability and durability True advocate of sustainability and good collaboration with the Owner Foundation
Cons
Lost it's edge especially in terms of product development and innovation, speed and agility The recent restructuring has the potential to tear the company along the seams Increasing centralisation of authority and functions suffocating local/regional flexibility and capabilities Growing competition from low-cost entrants and gradually losing the bottom and middle of the market pyramide, risk of becoming a niche player Distribution network more and more trapped in the low margin zone
