Strategy and Execution - Turning a Global Organization 180 Degrees

A conversation with Johnna Torsone, Senior Vice-president and Chief Human Resources Officer, Pitney Bowes

"At Pitney Bowes, diversifying from our longtime core business turned out to be a mistake. You Can go home again, we learned - but it isn't easy" - Michael Critelli

Johnna Torsone

In 2000, Pitney Bowes CEO Michael Critelli made the decision to change the fundamental direction of the organization. "Back Where We Belong" is how he described the shift in strategy, in a May 2005 "First Person" article in The Harvard Business Review. At the time the new strategy was formulated, the company was split into four very distinct strategic business units; that all enjoyed a great deal of autonomy. In this special Leadership Edition of Total Picture Radio, we discuss with Johnna Torsone, SVP and Chief Human Resource Officer of Pitney Bowes, the difficult task of realigning a global organization to a new strategic vision, which includes breaking down silos and implementing drastic change.
