Really boring Conversation for me.. as boring as IBM is as a innovator........ Maybe IBM's Watson will change the image of this old seemingly outdated company 🤷‍♀️

Accountability 100%

Harkens back to Ayn Rand's dystopian views of "pull peddlers" making empty social promises to reinforce power structures. Not even a libertarian here, but it is scary how precise her predictions were.

Ahh the art of saying words that don't mean anything

I would have liked to know:
- Do they think corporations need to do a better job of being positive impacts on society and reducing damage? This seems to get to the heart of whether this is just a reframing of what they are already doing.
- What measures would tell us whether corporations are achieving that more positive impact. (“If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.”) Measurement is necessary for strong accountability.

Yeah keep these types of events coming as they show their ugly selves to the rest of us.

Ginni Rometti has been CEO of IBM for 8 years and IBM is actually a smaller business than it was when she took over. She's failed to transition IBM as a company in any kind of timely manner.
