From Harriet Green on Radio 5 Wake up to money this morning.
She finds herself at IBM heading up an Internet of Things/Education VP role.
She kept mentioning "Cognitive" and "IoT" like they were uptopias. Never mind the massive security risks on IoT, never mind the social upheaval on massive soulless automation by big business.
The interviewer who is usually good at separating their agenda from the real world issues failed this time. No mention of what a terrible cost cutting, profits and maintaining share price at all costs company IBM has become.
It is also killing itself slowly while maintaining excessive executive pay levels who under perform. That is a better reflection on the modern IBM that the interviewer should have already been aware.
Her obsession was also "leadership", endless leadership - what this leads to is a narcissistic management culture that competes and fights amongst itself continually, we certainly do not need more of that.
