For those who say IBM needs fresh blood… Guess what, they're already here. How’s that working out? These are Krishna’s "Not IBM Lifers" reports:
Howard Boville BoA
Jim Whitehurst RedHat
Mark Foster Accenture
John Granger PWC
Bob Lord AOL
Michelle Peluso Gilt
So 30% of his team is from the "outside"
AOL omg what a joke You did a great job there Bob
Granger is a lifer from the PWC acquisition. Not fresh blood. Foster was laughed out of Accenture. Again, hardly fresh blood.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
Outsiders who have successfully delivered software/hardware products/services, not some consultants. There's a big difference.
The last two on that list have been worthless. They need replacing.
