Company struggling to do software "right." Not good at managing hardware/software releases. Fragmented products. A fair amount of political and corporate posturing to climb various ladders.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop pretending that making a keyboard is the same as writing software and you can apply the same processes to either. Stop gating physical product launches on software. Understand that Logitech will increasingly be a "software" company, because these days good hardware needs great software to have any possibility of market success.
