That sounds a lot like wishful thinking and would indeed be a best case
scenario. It might even happen that JW gets the CEO job. But IBM has
such an ancient institutional cruft that it will be a herculean task to
get them moving in any direction. There will be resistance and it'll be
interesting to see which side outlasts the other.
