It *might* be good, and I'm sure if its your good idea, you can explain why.<BR/><BR/>Sell books online? Search as navigation? Online auctions between strangers? Television from your computer? <BR/><BR/>I guess what I'm saying is good ideas are EASY; everybody's got one (seriously).

Ironically, those perspectives can also appear pretty cyclical :). <BR/><BR/>Centralized vs. decentralized; client-centric vs. web-centric; grass-root vs. top-down; matrixed vs. solid lines; TOM (remember The Optimist Movement?) vs. pep-rallies; divlets vs. lines-of-businesses; categories of excellent vs. spreadsheet line items; laid-off vs. rehired. <BR/><BR/>And my analysis after all this? They all work! Amazing.<BR/><BR/>However, one thing has remained constant about getting it all to work through the 10 years: leadership throughout the organization to make the philosophies and personalities gel.<BR/><BR/>This means technical and business leadership with mutual respect for each other. <BR/><BR/>Easy to write; not so easy to execute. I remain optimistic and a proud member of TOM--although I think that the card-board cartoon character has been laid to rest (i.e., the one that peppered the halls of AOL years back), thankfully.<BR/><BR/>That summarizes my ten years.

Much better to invest some of that revenue to increase our relevance to customers, and quite frankly, their longevity AS customers.<BR/><BR/>In terms of layoffs and morale - yes, obviously that's never good. The truth is, though, that has FAR more to do with **TOP LINE** than it does the bottom. As long as overall revenue continues to decline, every major project, program, and budget in the company will be under pressure.Sree Kotayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637645734999157782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367055.post-1143233497905688652006-03-24T15:51:00.000-05:002006-03-24T15:51:00.000-05:00Get back to work and stop slacking.Get back to work and stop slacking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367055.post-1143225690077359662006-03-24T13:41:00.000-05:002006-03-24T13:41:00.000-05:00to anon2>>layoffs are probably essential - when th...to anon2>>layoffs are probably essential - when things are sooo dynamic.

"This year, we are certainly creating some pressure on the bottom line by this move in the US to broadband. That's a conscious decision. It is a classic short-term versus long-term trade-off."<BR/><BR/>Mr Miller has been attempting to offset declining subscriber revenues with an increase in advertisements. Last summer AOL revamped its free web portal to offer a similar service to Yahoo or Microsoft's MSN in an effort to boost viewers and attract more ads.<BR/><BR/>But by increasing the price of its dial-up service to the same price as its broadband offering – about $26 per month – AOL runs the risk of angry subscribers simply quitting the service instead of converting.<BR/><BR/>Joe Redling, AOL's chief marketing officer, said hopes for a conversion rate of 10 per cent of AOL's narrowband subscriber base from its roughly 13m targeted dial-up users were "running pretty much on what we expected or a little above".<BR/><BR/>AOL's broadband service, with about 5m customers in the US, has failed to establish itself as a premium internet service while AOL's dial-up service in the US has lost 7m subscribers over three years. By comparison, AT&T had 6.9m broadband customers at the end of 2005, while Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) , the US cable group, was the biggest broadband supplier with 8.5m customers.<BR/><BR/>Mr Redling said revenue was expected to suffer as the division had factored in a stronger decline of dial-up customers because of the price increase, as well as having to split the subscription fees for broadband customers with its telecoms and cable partners.<BR/><BR/>According to industry estimates, less than 50 per cent of broadband fees will go to AOL compared with more than 80 per cent of dial-up fees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367055.post-1143178439853669222006-03-24T00:33:00.000-05:002006-03-24T00:33:00.000-05:00Sree, I agree however that is also from a techni...Sree,<BR/> I agree however that is also from a technical standpoint. As anonymous posted we have a dead weight of the "old techniques" behind our marketing, our retention, etc. These are the things that members remember when recommending a provider. "We" (Member services) get told all the time this will be fixed, this will change...but it never does. However when it comes to marketing and retention tactic changes we can spin on a dime.<BR/><BR/> Not to dwell too much on negatives but this is our albatross.
