So HP announce the departure of Leo Apotheker and the appointment of Meg Whitman. Interesting to see how that goes. Ray Lane has moved from non-Executive Chairman to executive Chairman. I saw this, then I thought of the guest blog post Neil Davidson wrote earlier this week about business plans where he poses the question,
“What is your mantra?”
Make it as simple to understand as Blinkpipe’s: “Video calling as natural as a handshake, as reliable as the telephone and as easy to install as a toaster”.
This is HP’s mantra, from the bottom of the press release announcing the departure of their CEO,
“About HP
