PARIS (Reuters) - Airbus has launched a strategic review to outline changes under incoming chief executive Guillaume Faury as it faces industrial challenges and prepares for overdue modernization, industry sources said, The “Airbus Next Chapter” review involves a team of planners working outside the normal strategy organization in pursuit of a break from years of industrial problems, management feuds scottish rampant lion coin cufflinks and an ongoing bribery scandal, It is being led by investor relations chief Julie Kitcher in what one insider described as a signal to financial markets that profits will be embedded in strategy, as the once state-sponsored European project marks its 50th anniversary..

Planemaking boss Faury, who becomes CEO when Tom Enders retires next April, “wants to go fast and introduce a new state of mind; he wants to turn the page on the past,” a person familiar with the company said. Airbus declined comment on the review, which is designed to war-game strategic decisions and possible structural changes. Founded in 1969, Airbus (AIR.PA) has risen to compete on a par with Boeing and is one of Europe’s leading exporters. But its growth has been punctuated by Franco-German tensions, personal rivalries and most recently a crippling bribery investigation that accelerated management departures.

For now, Airbus is winning a bigger slice of the market on the A320 but some analysts say it has fallen behind Boeing in manufacturing techniques - a gap that could grow if Boeing launches a mid-market jet with a new factory system. The review may study how Airbus can compete with Silicon Valley for talents in the digital era, while handling a wave of departures through retirements and a board-driven clearout. Spurning global firms that typically work for Airbus, Faury has brought in Zurich-based consultants Egon Zehnder who are better known as head-hunters.

The roll-call of scheduled retirements continued this week as Alberto Gutierrez was named head of military aircraft as Fernando Alonso steps down after stabilizing the troubled A400M, scottish rampant lion coin cufflinks Programs chief Didier Evrard, who led two of Europe’s most ambitious projects, the Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missile and A350 jetliner, is due to retire this month and will be replaced by an internal candidate from services or engineering, Some changes are happening already, with Airbus switching its quality-control chief this week after a series of snags..
