[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 3341079"][b]Recycled Leadership at Abbott Diabetes Care[/b] ADC has become less competitive from a product development standpoint since most of its devices are "me-too" products. There is no innovation in their current products since they merely copy what Bayer, Roche, and Lifescan have. I blame this on poor leadership, given the fact that most of the senior managers at ADC are merely recycled from other Abbott divisions. They just move VPs around and as a result, there is no new blood. The leadership at R&D is dismal and I am surprised that they have not fired the two pompous VPs who were hand-me downs from Therasense and Medisense. Just look at the Navigator which took too long to get approval in the US and even now has no reimbursement and is still being continually upgraded. In reality, this device is still not ready for primetime. I reckon that Miles White is just ashamed to admit that ADC is in a moribund state since this was his first acquisition as Abbott CEO. No doubt that they paid too much for Therasense, based on the "intangible" value of the Navigator, which still has to see profit. At the end of the day, Miles White or La Presidente Madam Heather Mason needs to purge ADC's senior management and bring in new blood from outside of Abbott. I would recommend starting at R&D, Regulatory Affairs, and Quality![/QUOTE]
