The results were historic.
Within a few years, IBM had returned to profitability.
By the end of Gertzner's tenure, the company's market value had increased by over $100 billion.
The elephant had learned to dance.
Gertzner later wrote a book about the experience.
He called it Who Says Elephants Can't Dance, a direct challenge to the conventional wisdom that had nearly destroyed the company.
