Pretty weak executive leadership especially evident to older Qlikies Significant weakness in leadership at executive levels across the company in All Functions across all major geographies Leading to poor direction , weak strategy and execution of strategy - “walk the talk” is missing Sadly seems like a case globally EMEA is probably best guide given the leadership there
is from the older Qlik cohort which Tends to be very familiar with the Qlik business and engaged with business , clients and partners and field teams sub-optimal business processes, systems and no efforts to improve any area -everyone just learns to accept and live under appalling mediocre circumstances No surprises then that the results are below mediocre too !
