Quality of Staff strength is the biggest asset. Try and retain knowledge, experience and good people. Going forward this would be the only difference between the best and the number 2.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at KLM full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Lots of interesting challenges, big projects, interesting technological and managerial challenges. Drive to excel.
Cons
Way too many power games at the top, by both AF and KL managers. Too centrally managed causing slow innovation.
Advice to Management
Move from centralized to federated model and put control way lower in the organization in order to stimulate entrepeneurship.
