NutMeg gave her first Strategic Keynote yesterday to get back in touch with workers and investors. The venue: Vienna, Eurozone, of course.
""I want to get the HP drama out of the headlines," Whitman said.
"This kind of chief-executive transformation is very hard — it's hard on employees, it's hard on customers." -especially when that CEO is Meg.
"I think over the last year we confused some people over who we are as a company."
"
The number one question I get now is who is HP, what is your strategy going forward?" Whitman said.
NutMeg's Inspiring Answer: "HP is the world's largest provider of information technology infrastructure, software, services and solutions to individuals and organisations of all sizes." No, she's not Steve Jobs.
Where is HP going? "We are not in the software business to transform HP into a software company,"
Actually they are going to the moon: "HP's ARM-based server scheme, codenamed Project Moonshot, as a sign that the company is still capable of innovating." "It's meaningful and exciting and HP is first," she said. "We're going to drive more market-leading innovation."
Whitman left the stage after 20 minutes. "I believe wholeheartedly in HP," she said.
I wholeheartedly do not believe one single word.
