Our New Year’s Resolutions for Boeing

Care to share?

Boeing certainly hopes that 2022 will be better than 2019, 2020, and 2021, each of which had major disasters for Boeing.  Between the MAX, pandemic, and 787

and KC-46 quality issues, Boeing’s mantle of industry leadership disappeared, as has its financial performance.  The company has a number of problems that it needs to solve to get back to where it needs to be, and that will require a return to fundamentals rather than managing quarterly earnings reports and stock price.

Resolution for Boeing One:  Take Charge – with Strong Leadership for Cultural Change

Boeing needs a culture change, and it needs to start from the top.  That begins by admitting that Boeing’s business model that produced the MAX crisis and 787 quality problems is broken.  So far, we haven’t seen the type of leadership at Boeing that recognizes either the ownership of the problems or the need for decisive action.  Perhaps David Calhoun, who has been a Board Member for a decade and a part of the problem, doesn’t have the right perspective for the job.
