Senior management and leadership team should read Business Skills 101 - Anonymous employee Hitachi Rail Employee Review

Everything! Grossly inexperienced senior management where their incompetence pervades the organisation. An excessive propensity to hire disengaged interims will be fatal to any mega-project's stability and indeed any cultivated competitive edge will be transient at best. Bombardier and others have nothing to fear! Bids for High Speed Rail 2 (HS2) and NTfL (New Tubes for London) are staggering disorganised where key financials are largely unknown and arbitrarily decided almost overnight to ensure Hitachi remain in the competitive process. This is straw-clutching at its best. Parent company (Japan) excessively involved and strangle any real ability to apply a commercial and UK-focused operating model - international business models are not one-size-fits-all and should be flexed for local norms Complete lack of focus on 'real' business issues that involve profitable delivery and instead are pre-occupied with pointless paperwork that no-one reads
