- "We will need to innovate in new areas, execute against our plans, make some tough choices in areas where things are not working and solve hard problems in ways that drive customer value," says Satya Nadella (NASDAQ:MSFT) towards the end of an employee memo providing a new mission statement.
- Nadella: "We will realize our mission and strategy by investing in three interconnected and bold ambitions.
1. Reinvent productivity and business processes
2. Build the intelligent cloud platform
3. Create more personal computing"
- Worth remembering: The last time Nadella hinted at big changes in a memo (July 2014), Microsoft announced major layoffs a week later. The latest missive comes a week after Microsoft announced a reorg that (among other things) creates a new Windows and Devices group responsible for both OS and hardware development.
