Pros

Still unbelievable resources, breadth of scope, and fantastic people on the lower levels that not many companies can match, no matter how much they talk about it.

Cons

We need to change the name to ISS, International Support and Services, because it is barely a Business Machines business any longer. I don't know any other company that would see the kind of results they have seen for the past 12-13 quarters and continue with the "leadership" that is basically destroying one of the great success stories of the past 100 years.

Advice to Management

You can name a machine Watson and still not have one clue what stood behind that name.

Try reading and memorizing "A Business and Its Beliefs" for a refresher on what IBM used to be.
