📉🖨️ "The story of Xerox is a reminder that even the most successful companies can falter if they don't adapt to changing times." 💼💡 Xerox, once a leading name in the photocopying industry, failed to keep up with the digital revolution that swept the world in the late 20th century. Despite being an innovator in photocopying technology, Xerox failed to capitalize on the burgeoning computer market. This lack of innovation proved costly, as competitors like HP and Apple rose to prominence in the tech industry. By the early 2000s, Xerox's stock price had dropped significantly, and the company faced severe financial difficulties. However, Xerox's leadership learned from their failures and focused on restructuring, diversifying their offerings, and pivoting towards digital technologies. Today, Xerox has regained some of its lost market shares through strategic acquisitions and has rebranded itself as a digital solutions provider. As professionals, we can learn from Xerox's story that staying agile and innovative is crucial to surviving in today's fast-paced business landscape. Let's approach our careers with a growth mindset, embrace change, and continually look for new opportunities to learn and grow. 💼💡🚀 #LearningFromFailure #Innovation #ProfessionalGrowth

John Chambers overcame dyslexia and became a leading CEO (how does he actually analyze cross-functional risks etc?) then there is Antonio Neri an immigrant from Argentina also leading the field.. and what they do well? FRIENDSHIPS > America is built my immigrants & very simple individuals 👍 👍 Truth is the people who work the hardest and therefore have the higher intellectual capacity are immigrants; everybody else is just becoming "specialized" and keep the same roles or similar with little to no real growth .. that's why immigrants make it far and you are still thinking what you are missing here 😄 Others like the sales guys, or the ones who are just playing the waiting game who get promoted simply because they stayed with the same company for years; so the average board member assumes this is the most capable person to lead only because of their years of service; but that only tells me they have only used a VERY limited part of their brain. This people do mostly repetitive tasks, same systems, same structure like a broken record selling the same products for years (some acquisitions here and there but still the same product suites). Where is the growth or where is any real international experience there? Of course understanding one company in over 10 years becomes "extremely easy" ... that's just quite boring after a while isn't it? How about the rest of the world, how about other industries, other sectors, other global strategies.. that is a far distance to reach for many 😄 #globalleadership #collaborations #growth

Game recognizes game. You know you're onto something big when the guy who grew your biggest competitor into what it is today admits that Hewlett Packard Enterprise "will become a top #AI leader" -- and it's in no small part to the eventual addition of Juniper Networks into its networking business. AI needs a lot of things to flourish, but one of the most critical is networking to connect it all together. Big opportunities like this require big moves - and that's why the eventual combination of Juniper and HPE to accelerate innovation in compute, storage and networking; silicon, systems and software; campus and branch, data center and the wide area network for a full, soup-to-nuts solution is so compelling. So thanks for the nod, John.

Ursula Burns is the former CEO of Xerox and the first woman of color to lead a Fortune 500 company. She began at Xerox as an intern and gradually worked her way up through the company becoming CEO in 2009. Her time spent working her way through the company would be put to the test when she was faced with needing to shift Xerox from being solely a manufacturing company to one that also offered a myriad of services. This was a massive shift. She did it by initially spending a lot of time meeting with employees, stakeholders, and others to understand them, their roles, their ways of working. This is how I think about change within a company, especially when it comes to introducing new tools or ways of working. Meet people where they are. Literally and figuratively. Understand their ways of working. Help them see the need for change that you see. This takes time, but is time well spent. Follow the lead of Ursula Burns. #legaltech #innovation #law #business #learning

Wow. Impressive endorsement by John Chambers of Antonio Neri. One reason why High-Performance Technologies (HPT) partners with Hewlett Packard Enterprise is to deliver best-in-class solutions to our customers. #ai #cloud #edgetocloud #sase #sse #cybersecurity #sdwan #digitaltransformation #iot

There is something special about people who have seen it all; giants of industries like John Chambers have been there and done it. Hewlett Packard Enterprise has always been one of the greatest technology companies of our time. I grew up aspiring to work in a company like HPE, IBM, or Microsoft because of how they changed the world in their own ways. I look at the journey Hewlett Packard Enterprise is embarking on and the BOLD moves Antonio Neri is making, and it reminds me of a certain Captain on a journey to the new frontier. 😎 Here is my version of what Captain Kirk would say about this: "Technology, the ultimate frontier. These are the endeavors of our company. Our mission: to explore groundbreaking AI innovations, to connect with new secure networking possibilities, to fearlessly pioneer where no tech company has ventured before." 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀

Brian tracy, a success Coach wrote in one of his books about the company Hewlett Packard Enterprise and I will share an excerpt from it. This big company today actually started in the garage or better still a car park in layman's terms. It is now an icon in Silicon Valley today. Hewlett and Packard started from the very beginning by asking their customers in multiple ways “Are you happy? How did you like the product? Is the product good? Are you going to buy it again? How can we improve it?” They would phone them and write to them and send them surveys and were constantly asking them “How can we make you happier next time?” Today, Hewlett Packard is worth over 20 billion dollars ($20B). Now as Brian Tracy rightly pointed out a strong strategy they used, asking the right questions. Don't just ask questions because you feel like asking but ask the right questions. Only the right questions can give you the right answers. You can find your right answer but you only have to ask the right question. Hewlett Packard is HP for short 😃 You are welcome! See you at the top Champ! #monday #briantracy #question #surveys #iamaquestionnairedesigner
