More than a quarter of Goldman’s card loans have gone to people with FICO scores below 660
Goldman is less aggressive (and less successful) at recovering charge-off debt than other banks"
So now Dell has two divisions with serious synergy: Dell EMC (storage, enterprise software, consulting), and Dell (servers, PCs, etc).
Spinning out VMware and Pivotal ensured that each could grow without having to answer to specific hardware vendor affinity.
As other big bets grow fruit they will likely get sold off or spun out as well. The cutting edge is that as they spin, the shareholders get pieces of the NewCos, and the process renews again.
Productivity cannot be reduced to a single dimension (or metric), so frameworks include multiple dimensions. Performance/Outcomes, Collaboration, and Efficiency are examples of potential dimensions to consider (Forsgren et al. 2021).
• Managers are more likely to define productivity as outcomes, and individual contributors are more likely to define productivity as output (Storey et al. 2021)
• Productivity is something that happens over time, and choosing a specific time interval is yet another dimension (Smith et al. 2021).
• This diversity of definitions is in addition to many other dimensions introduced by looking at productivity at different scales: e.g., organizational, national.
• One broader definition of productivity that has been proposed emphasizes several new dimensions in addition to what is typically considered by managers: well-being, collaboration, and innovation (Teevan 2021).

"Since the release of Windows 95, Microsoft has become aware of instances in which OEMs are modifying the product as a method of differentiating their hardware. This has caused considerable confusion with our end user customers. As a result, Microsoft is taking this opportunity to define the requirements and restrictions of the preinstallation process, so that all of our end users have a consistent experience with our products."

With a personal assistant, you'll need to provide very detailed instructions for success. The list of items you list for your PA will take roughly the same amount of time as actually just doing the work.
Drycleaning, handling returns, that stuff is easy. But if you're like me, that's only 10% of what you need to get done.
I'm wired similarly, have tried PAs, and I try to use services that have a PA aspect to them. (StichFix, Uber, wedding coordinator) -But unless you're putting in the work to really get value and automate the things you need a PA for, you'll find yourself just shifting the boring tasks to dealing with the PA, and shift the problem.
