The Boeing CEO just resigned, maybe some change will come about this
Boeing 737 Max 9: Here we go again
- Thread starter Bev D
- Start date
Why is he waiting till the 'end of the year', that's about 8-9 months. This is not a correction (corrective action), this is a delaying action. I have tried to use it a couple of times on corrective actions. I was also, rightly, called out on it.
I imagine replacing him so soon would be setting up whoever it is as an immediate failure. This allows Boeing to save some face, put all the blame on the current CEO while they work to clean things up, and show investors a new face for 2025 as the "The year of Boeing and bright futures!" or some nonsense
This especially makes sense if they are worried about another shoe dropping soon

So "The CEO and the Three Envelopes" gambit? "Bold move Cotton" (from Dodgeball).
Exactly! The current CEO can stick around and get beat up while the messes are resolved. Boeing can say to investors "Yea he's on his way out though"

Not to pile on, but this is one damming article.
Anyone who thinks cultural change of something of this magnitude can happen spontaneously and without tremendous amounts of pain is delusional.

Yep. As I said - this is more than just changing senior leadership. Engineering, Operations and finance middle managers and engineers and supervisors who have lived the way senior leadership dictated and have been rewarded for it must be replaced. Maybe not all but certainly the influencers who led substandard work. This will be very hard but without it Boeing is doomed to staying on this rat cycle of failures…It wasn’t easy to kill the the engineering culture (as teh article lays out) and it wasn’t be easy to reinstate it.
