The new leadership’s accelerated transformation plan centers on:
- Maintaining Financial Strength: Ensure a robust capital base.
- Driving Profitable Growth: Focus on products and services where there is innovative technology with a growth outlook that can deliver financial results.
- Growing Margins: Achieve economic efficiencies in manufacturing, operations, supply chains and information systems.
