| schestowitz[TR2] | I cannot say how Kyndryl will do relative to its ancestor. However, I think it's safe to say that Kyndryl will be much better off if and when it distances itself from its IBM roots. | Jul 14 03:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | No matter what one may think of the two companies, the fact is that Kyndryl needs to find its own path and stand on its own feet if it is to succeed. This will not occur as long as "the old ways" remain, and those old ways will remain as long as the company is primarily run by ex-IBM staff. | Jul 14 03:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I was in IBM division 07 from the beginning of Lou Gerstner (start of ISSC) to the end of Sam Palmisano. There were originally very strong points to the division, one of which was that the technical, managerial and administrative staff would go to the end of the world to solve customer problems. This is (or rather, was) the sort of service that is prized by customers, and was highly valued by management. | Jul 14 03:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | However, as time went on things got old. "By the book" ways of thinking became entrenched, and service suffered on all levels. Clients noticed, and good employees voted with their feet...they knew all too well what was going on, and wanted no part of it. | Jul 14 03:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Kyndryl has a chance to make a fresh start, if it chooses to do so. They may have IBM as a legacy, but they'll be better off when they ditch that legacy and adopt fresh ideas and ways of doing things. | Jul 14 03:43 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Ginni made some bad moves but some great ones too. Investing in Design was brilliant – – it is what made companies like Apple very rich. There was also a lot of brilliance behind the idea of Watson health even if the execution faltered. | Jul 14 03:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Even if Ginni was 10 times the CEO she really was, systemic issues inside of IBM's executive leadership would still have made this and just about any other great idea ultimately fail. Watson health was Jettisoned aside based off of a bad start – – right before chatGPT hit the scene. Abandoning it turned out to be pure stupidity – – and Ginni didn't make that decision all by herself. It's as though none of our execs understa | Jul 14 03:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | nd the meaning of investment. The idea we are now primarily an AI company - right before that decision to jettison one of the most promising areas in AI - shows how utterly clueless and visionless our executive leadership is. It's not just Ginni. | Jul 14 03:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | As to Design, all of the decision-making around features and products were being made by the same clueless people – – those without any UX background, the non-design execs. Design doesn't make products automatically better just because someone is in the room with those skills. It gets better because those people actually have a place at the table. IBM never gave any designers a meaningful place at the table. | Jul 14 03:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Arvind isn't fixing sh-t. He is just doubling down on raiding the cookie jar. And jumping on open.AI's bandwagon. The UX of these tools he is trying to sell is abysmal. Hey Arvind, you should probably hire back some of those designers you just laid off to fix this garbage - assuming you let them actually do their jobs. It is unusable. And hire some real leaders, not sales or marketing jerks, who can put us back in the healthcare ar | Jul 14 03:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ea. There is so much money to be made there. | Jul 14 03:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I cannot tell you how much I despise Arvind. I don't care if the stock is up if the company and all that had a value is being raized to the ground. More short term fixes from a short term thinker. The best we can hope for now is a Pyrrhic victory that will come and fade and a quarter or two. That's what happens when you don't have truly good executive leadership. | Jul 14 03:43 |
