  • Hiring Skills, Not Diplomas
    Right now, there are more than seven million open jobs in the U.S. That’s a historic number because, for the first-time since 2000, there are more job oppor- tunities in this country than there are people look- ing for work. Competition for talent is fierce. But employers face another major challenge in filling some of their top paying roles: a lack of candidates with the right mix of skills. That begs a question: How can companies do more to foster the next gen- eration of innovators? None of us can afford to put this off. The pace of progress in areas like AI and quantum computing is only going to accelerate, further exacerbating the urgent need for qualified workers. AI, in particular, is one of the greatest opportunities of our time but also one of the greatest challenges. This is not be- cause it will put some people out of work. Rather, it is because AI eventually will transform 100 percent of the jobs we know today in addition to creating entirely new roles and professions. The solution to the current and future skills chal- lenge must start with greater investment in the fu- ture of skills training and in teaching millions more people HIRING SKILLS, how to use the technologies that are rapidly reshaping our global economy. Technology clearly will solve some of the most important issues in society today, but it also can NOT DIPLOMAS create some of the biggest divides between the haves and have-nots of the world—much of that based on education How to Ignite the Next Generation of Talent and skills.

  • TROUBLING SIGNS IBM Head Ginni Rometty Cannot Find a Way to Stimulate Growth IBM COMPANY
    TROUBLING SIGNS IBM head Ginni Rometty cannot find a way to stimulate growth IBM COMPANY LITTLE BIG BLUE IBM The turnover of the US technological icon has been shrinking for years. If superbrain Watson fails to bring about the turnaround, CEO Virginia Rometty will probably have to go. For Virginia Marie Rometty (59), called Ginni, the domination of the world is only a matter of time. At the end of October, at her in-house exhibition in Las Vegas, the chief executive of IBM announced that in five years her computer technology will influence “every decision” on this planet. The task for IBM's superbrain Watson is clear – it must solve “the biggest problems of the world.” In a few years, this market, called Cognitive Computing, is expected to be worth an incredible two trillion dollars. Rometty claims that more than one billion people will be using the in-house “moonshot” technology as early as 2017. The magic word is Artificial Intelligence (AI). With such a pitch a techie from the Silicon Valley would certainly have the chance for a life-sustaining venture capital shot. But IBM is not a new company – even though Rometty likes to describe her Big Blue as a “105-year old start-up.” ► JANUARY 2017 manager magazin 65 PHOTO [M]: BEN BAKER / REDUX / LAIF / / REDUX BAKER [M]: BEN PHOTO COMPANY IBM The large corporation lacks the most of HP, the other US technological Rometty has pursued this goal important criterion for this type of legend.

  • 4 E-Commerce Revenue Refers to “Marketplaces”
    4. E-COMMERCE: TRANSFORMING GLOBAL CAPITALISM E-commerce is the true centrepiece of TiSA. The technology industry calls it the trade highway of the 21st century, and likens its transformative potential to the printing press in theth 16 century and electricity in the 19th century. There are currently very few restrictions that govern the Internet. The powerful élite of private software, Internet, hardware, financial, logistics and infrastructure companies that dominate the digital domain want that to continue. TiSA offers them the tantalising prospect of largely unfettered authority over the global network economy, with governments promising never to regulate new technologies, services and practices that emerge in the future. Most important for them is the guarantee of unrestricted information and finance flows across borders and the rights to hold data anywhere in the world (especially the US, with minimal privacy rules) and to keep secret their source codes, whether for smart products or search engines themselves. Before considering the TiSA texts, it is important to understand the big picture which it is designed to serve. Appendix 4 provides a more detailed analysis of the TiSA text, especially the proposed Annex on Electronic Commerce. Empowering GAFA The powerhouses of e-commerce are principally American. The world’s five largest companies by market capitalisation ten years ago were Microsoft, Exxon Mobil, General Electric, Citigroup, and Shell Oil. Now they are Alphabet (parent company of Google), Apple, Facebook and Amazon, known colloquially as GAFA, plus Microsoft.1 According to Forbes magazine, 14 of the world’s 25 largest tech companies in 2015 were from the US, including 7 of the top 10: Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet (the holding company for Google), Intel, IBM, Cisco Systems and Oracle.2 Only South Korea’s Samsung made the top five.

  • POV – Watson Privacy, Compliance, & Security
    POV – Watson Privacy, Compliance, & Security “Every organization that develops or uses AI, or hosts or processes data, must do so responsibly and transparently. Companies are being judged not just by how we use data, but by whether we are trusted stewards of other people’s data. Society will decide which companies it trusts.” -Ginni Rometty, IBM Chairman, President, and CEO Table of contents: • Scope • Introduction • Data privacy: What is it and how to do it • Compliance & regulations • Security • Frequently asked questions Scope The scope of this document is the IBM Watson services running on IBM Cloud. The document does not address other IBM or client offerings with Watson in their names (e.g., Watson Health), or services that are not in the AI part of the IBM Cloud catalog. Nor does it address any third-party services showing up under AI in the IBM Catalog. Introduction The ability of artificial intelligence (AI) to transform vast amounts of complex, ambiguous information into insights has the potential to reveal long-held secrets and solve some of the world’s most enduring problems. It can help doctors treat disease, predict the weather, and manage the global economy. It is an undeniably powerful tool. And like all powerful tools, great care must be taken in its development and deployment. To reap the societal benefits of artificial intelligence, we will first need to trust it. We have created a system of best practices that guide the management of Watson; a system that includes contracts and disclosures that help foster full transparency; a strategy that reflects our compliance efforts with existing legislation and policy; third-party certifications and security testing by third parties to validate the best practices; and a framework that provides for privacy and personal data protection.

They augment our capacity to understand what is happening in the complex world around us. Leaders of every industry and institution are sprinting to become digital, adopting digital products, operations and business models. But once everything becomes digital, who will win? The answer is clear: It will be the companies and the products that make the best use of data.

  • Patterns in Achieving Social Business Success by Leading and Pioneering Organizations
    Patterns in achieving social business success by leading and pioneering organizations Change is the new constant. Organizations are being buffeted simultaneously by a num- ber of macro-economic trends, such as compressed and highly volatile economic cycles, a shift of power in commercial relationships from sellers to buyers and the continued development of an increasingly global, distributed workforce. Fortunately, there are new trends and capabilities in technology and business practices that can help organizations adapt to, even take advantage of, these macro-economic changes. Cloud, mobile and social computing, when deployed together, can enable organizations to innovate and execute faster, better understand and serve their custom- ers, and build and empower a more-engaged workforce. This paper will focus on how organizations can use social business practices and capabilities to transform themselves, and create competitive advantage and substantial new value. A social business is an organization whose culture and systems encourage networks of people to create business value.

  • CEO GINNI ROMETTY ENVISIONS a BRIGHT FUTURE for IBM in SERVICE to the BUSINESS COMMUNITY and the WORLD Ginni Rometty Chairman, P
    CEO GINNI ROMETTY ENVISIONS A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR IBM IN SERVICE TO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND THE WORLD Ginni Rometty Chairman, President, and CEO IBM December 3, 2014 Excerpts from Ms. Rometty's Remarks Fortune magazine's recent cover story on you asked, can IBM ever be cool? I got a lot of notes from folks inside who said, we are cool. And I think it depends on how you define "cool." So if you think running 90 percent of the banks in the world, 80 percent of the airlines, 60 percent of all the transactions in business is cool, then we're cool. And if you think changing the face of health care is cool, then we're cool. Reinventing education, we're cool. And I saw a great statistic that I think most people wouldn't guess. We had a couple thousand internships this past summertime, and I saw that there were 1 million applicants for them. So to me, that says we're cool. Is IBM a hardware company, a software company, a services company, or what? As the year closes and we go into next year, hardware will be less than 10 percent of the IBM company. It's symbolic of what is IBM's hallmark, which is about continuously reinventing itself to what is the next most higher-value thing. And so if you just look at the number across the top, it isn't as if it's still $100 billion of the same things anymore. And to me this was really important, and that's why I think hardware is a very important thing, very important.

  • Ginni Rometty Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer 2019 IBM Annual Meeting of Stockholders Final As Prepared I Will
    Ginni Rometty Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer 2019 IBM Annual Meeting of Stockholders Final as Prepared I will now share with you the report on your company. My remarks will communicate three critical aspects of our work: Our performance in 2018 and our improved long-term competitive positioning The state of the market and the IT needs of our clients The importance of trust and responsible stewardship to our continued success First, our financial performance. For the last several years, we have been reinventing your company – investing in the future, while maintaining our revenues net of currency and divestitures. We have completely transformed our portfolio, investing more than $55 billion in new products and services – and that doesn’t yet count the $34 billion invested in Red Hat, which we expect to become part of IBM in the second half of this year. Today, 50 percent of our portfolio has been remixed to new products and services – including analytics, AI, cloud, security, blockchain and quantum computing – and 60 percent of our revenue is now recurring. We reached several important financial milestones toward this in 2018: For the full year, we returned to revenue growth, grew earnings, and stabilized margins. We saw $79.6 billion in revenue and operating earnings per share of $13.81, up from $13.66 the year prior. We stabilized our margins by focusing on the key high-value growth sectors, including cloud, artificial intelligence and security. They now represent more than half our revenue – $40 billion – up from a quarter just four years ago. In total, we returned more than $10 billion to you, our stockholders, including dividends of $5.7 billion and gross share repurchases of $4.4 billion.
