| schestowitz[TR2] | The awful truth about the field right now is that the big players (NVidia, Microsoft, Google, Apple) aren't all that far ahead of IBM. Both AI and Quantum are in their infancy right now, and anybody could get ahead very quickly with the right discoveries and the right offerings for the market. | Aug 13 04:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | But let's talk about IBM. IBM's basic problem is that its ownership (the stockholders) and its management have given up. They don't believe in taking risks, and so they pursue half-hearted measures that are guaranteed to fail against those who are perceived as "leaders". | Aug 13 04:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Does Google, Microsoft or NVidia have anything REALLY compelling? Does OpenAI? At the moment, the honest answer would be "not yet". But what they DO have is the willingness to take a chance. The willingness to lose an investment, in the pursuit of something better...something more than what they have. | Aug 13 04:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM doesn't have this, and hasn't had it for a long time. They build legacy products for legacy customers in legacy markets. Anything that doesn't fit the paradigm is sold off for cash, because cash is the only thing the big players in the company are really interested in. Going to cash is a zero risk strategy, and the big players are all about zero risk. | Aug 13 04:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The whole world knows it. It's not easy to recognize a winner, but it's real easy to recognize a loser. | Aug 13 04:29 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM never recovered from the Gin(ni) and Tonic damage. It was THAT severe. | Aug 13 18:31 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Let's not forget. Kyndryl ended up being a no growth endeavor (negative actually) and finally divested. Can we say that her strategy (that led to the divestiture of the managed infrastructure services business) was initiated during Ginni? | Aug 13 18:31 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Since AK took office, he went from the lowest ever $57.4B in his first year back up a bit $62.8 last year (using the same numbers posted by @dn). This puts the average of $1.35B per year (I know this is not how it grew, but just for simplification), which makes it minimal (low growth). | Aug 13 18:31 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | So in his first year he lost money, to then bring it up just a bit YoY. The reason you bring an insider as CEO is because the individual is supposed to enable quick turnarounds with no or minimal learning curve. He was already doing Red Hat (as in, jumped to the opportunity to position himself). | Aug 13 18:31 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Instead of a growth strategy, he implemented a cost-cutting, layoffs strategy, which in the event of IBM in and of itself is not the right way to go. Yes, he touted investments and growth strategies, none of which and in almost 5 years have seen the kind go growth trajectory that the market expected and IBM needed. | Aug 13 18:31 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Now, if we look at the history of the company, and this is just my opinion, Ginni was a terrible CEO and she effectively was the one that did a "great job" at ending a beautiful legacy. She is responsible for IBM going down. Numbers don't lie. | Aug 13 18:31 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | What I still don't understand is how she managed to stay for 9 years. Yes, I know, but still doesn't make sense to me as to how a board, investor, shareholders allow it, and how journalists kept touting her as this "great executive". Plus, they gave her more money to s_c_r_ew things up even more??? | Aug 13 18:31 |
