[06:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	 I believe you are watching IBM morph into 3 different companies
[06:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	    SW = buy innovation and make money distributing the purchased SW
[06:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	    Infrastructure = innovate around chip and enterprise design, and then make money via selling those enterprise solutions. NOTE distributed infrastructure and infrastructure support for the most part are running in place and not innovating
[06:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	    Consulting = Innovate around AI and then make money via recommending that AI to enterprise customers. NOTE a large part of consulting is perform which lacks innovation
[06:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1k6m1hv5s
[06:30]	Isambard_Prince	But full recovery will be about 5 months total.
[06:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	wow

[06:31]	Isambard_Prince	They showed pictures from the OR.
[06:31]	Isambard_Prince	They wanted them for medical literature.
[06:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	" yes those 3 pillars have been IBM's GTM go to market for a very long time. Only (well far from only) problem is IBM intentionally through arrogance and incompetence THOUGHT they could outsource sales to "partners". Ah no such thing as 'Partners". There are thieves and buzzards and people that are coin operated BUT the partner channel THINKS IBM will bring them leads and business and IBM THINKS the channel partners will bring the
[06:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	m leads and business. This happens when you hire by wokeness and based on young age (keep SG&A costs down), race, skin color, s-x etc etc. You hire people who know very little and would never admit they are deer in the headlights. For 50 years from the 20s to the 70s IBM was the most respected and innovative and essential company on the planet and had the best trusted advisor customer relationships but in the 80s the cracks began 
[06:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	to show and then Gerstner came in the 90s and put the final nails in the coffin making IBM a "financial engineering petrie dish of experimentation". IBM no longer has customer relationships and changes sales reps every 30-60-90 days and partners and customers know it. A very large portion of the IBM CRM system has contacts marked DO NOT CONTACT ME because they have 8 IBM reps bother and fatigue the same contact in 1 day with calls
[06:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	, texts, emails. IBM has no self awareness about the fact it has no clothes (no customer relationships)."
