You're right in a way in that people /companies should learn from their mistakes, if you don't, then it's no one else's fault but the individuals or companies.
If we take it that TFD and the 3p placing as related which they undoubtedly are, there is evidence around that SEE has learnt from its past mistakes - Paul Angelatos walked the long walk, taking the blame for TFD, which actually probably wasn't his fault, shouldn't have been in the job anyway but was/is Ken's mate, founder member of the cycling club but has little or no experience of supply chain management and also wasn't at fault for capacitor shortages which may not have been such a big problem if Paul Mcglone had been in place earlier with his supply chain expertise. So, lesson learned, round pegs for round holes.
Next, the 3p placement, seems to be done in a panic, IIs taking advantage of it, there were better ways of doing it but lesson learned, Ken told to go.
Much talk in the interim, PM doing a good job but misplaced funding concerns continue. So, a strategic placing, making it clear not really needed but strengthens the balance sheet in the middle of the biggest economic shock for a generation or two. That to me sounds like lesson learned big time.
Yes, he shouldn't have said the word, no doubt regrets it, and is about to deliver on it.
So, like the market, we should now look forward and there appear to be plenty of opportunities that far outweigh any possible threats, having learned our lessons.
