Kontras
Allstate is very bureaucratic and rigid in it’s procedures. They see the achievement of repeatable processes only through inflexible regimentation. There are no clear metrics to determine success but there is a general understanding that there are problems. High level financial evidence supports this so senior leadership is forcing improvements. Because of the lack of metrics the efforts targeted at making these improvement are often ineffective and disruptive to the employees.
