Question #1
When forced to choose, will Delorme prioritize the long-term strategic pivot to high-margin services, even if it means accepting short-term operational pain and margin erosion in the declining China new equipment market?
Question #2
Given the criticism of EcoStruxure’s complexity, does Delorme have the discipline to prioritize simple, customer-centric execution for Kone’s new digital offerings over a more technically ambitious but less user-friendly strategic vision?
Question #3
As Delorme focuses on the high-level strategic narrative and portfolio management he excelled at with Schneider, is he at risk of overlooking critical, on-the-ground operational details, such as the safety and pricing discipline required to navigate the current market?
