Watch the turtle. He only moves forward by sticking his neck out.

I came to see, in my time at IBM, that culture isn't just one aspect of the game; it is the game.

Every now and then, a technology comes along that is so profound, so powerful, so universal, that its impact will change everything. It will transform every institution in the world. It will create winners and losers, will change the way we do business, the way we teach our children, communicate and interact as individuals.

The last thing IBM needs right now is a vision.

This really is a merger of equals. I wouldn't have come back to work for anything less than this fantastic opportunity. This lets me combine my two great loves - technology and biscuits.

You can never be comfortable with your success, you've got to be paranoid you're going to lose it.

No institution will go through fundamental change unless it believes it is in deep trouble and needs to do something different to survive.
