A report today in The Wall Street Journal [subscription required] indicates that the restructuring of American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) could be a multi-year process.
The paper cites an internal email sent to AIG employees on April 23, which describes an initiative known as "Project Destiny." The dreamily named plan involves a 45-day review of the insurance issue's various units, which is then meant to generate a longer-term road map for the future.
While the internal memo explains Project Destiny as an "effort to redefine the future of most of the major businesses within AIG," Chief Restructuring Officer Paula Reynolds described the initiative in terms indicating that all AIG needs to regain its joie de vivre is a torrid island affair with a younger man. "Simply put, we are going to get our groove back," she enthused.
