It has been years since that major film company declared bankruptcy. It has been years since many good people were "impacted," not only in association with Chapter 11, but also along the way on the long slide into unprofitability that made the bankruptcy inevitable.
There have been numerous articles explaining the demise of the film giant. It was this, it was that, they were blindsided, no one could make the transition they needed to make, it was predicted by the Mayan Calendar, and so on. The accounts are true, to a point. They look at one facet or another, and make valid points, but the story is much more complex. And none of the accounts have the viewpoint of an insider. Not only an insider's viewpoint, but that of insiders without the benefit of the potent management Kool-aid.
So this new forum has been created. A cast of tens of thousands have something to say, and though this blog will certainly not be comprehensive, there will be a broad examination of the carcass of the once great company. Many will be encouraged to contribute.
The intent is to provide anecdotal evidence exposing the myriad of reasons for the failure. The actual experiences of those inside the Big Yellow Box. And by airing these often astounding stories and observations, provide insight into how other businesses and corporations can avoid the same result.
Is your curiosity piqued? I certainly hope so. I hope you are moved to read and respond to every post, lauding the insights, and pointing out the errors and the inconsistencies. Or better yet...contribute!
The story is too large for anyone to know it all, but your viewpoint is invaluable. Particularly if you accompanied us on the company's ride into oblivion.
