This person is correct. I found the Power Point Presentation that talks about how the recent changes in the industry caused BI to follow this new initiative starting next year. Not Good. In MYBI, search for "One Team Transforming Customer Experiences" and within the body of the letter, you will see highlighted in blue "here". Click that and you will see.
I had some trouble finding the powerpoint also , so I'll spell out I found it. I believe there are probably several different ways to get there though. I went to MYBi. In the top right search bar, I typed in "HP In the Know". I clicked the first link. On the right hand side scroll down to the Nov. 12th edition and click there. Then in the letter scroll down to One Team and click Learn More. Then you need to scroll almost all the way down. There is a sentence that says: "In the meantime, and to find out more about One TEAM, take a look at an overview
here." The "here" is a Hyperlink to the power point. What OP is referring to, is slide #16. Have a look yourself if you'd like.
On the slide you'll see a part that says "Bi-ers" 400 colleagues. I have no idea why they think this somehow applies to us? On the same slide it also says 37 Markets, 67 capabilities, 14 partners, 6 customer types, 6 key external drivers, 3 archetypes. Do we seriously think we are moving to only 400 people across 37 markets?! What someone said earlier seems the most likely explanation? This is some kind of pilot and 400 people across the globe are working on it.
I agree, we are probably headed for a downsizing, it just makes sense, but this isn't the smoking gun we are looking for. Yes it's happening. No this document doesn't mean anything. I read the entire powerpoint. I'm probably the only one in the organization that did so haha. I'll agree there's some concerning language in there, but it's also realistic and happening industry wide. Is our access getting worse and worse across the country for ALL companies? Sure. Is there consolidation going on in various parts of the industry, both on our side, and the hospital side. Of course. Nothing in the entire document (sadly) gives us any realistic insight into our future here. No timings. No #s , nor %s regarding downsizing.
I will say, slide 5 is probably the most concerning.
"Our product portfolio is shifting from primary care to specialty care. We'll increasingly focus on fewer customers, but these specialists will demand a greater depth of knowledge.....". Again though, nothing in this entire document gives us a clear understanding of our future. Hopefully this provides some clarity. Everyone can read the powerpoint for themselves and come to their own conclusions.
