Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

Made a mistake.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

You know, there's no bad mistake as long as you learn from it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

Right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

And, and keep moving.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

So yes, did it take longer, but we are the largest that was there.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

It's a little bit of consulting, but it's mostly software district.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

It was mostly software.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

Yes, and so in my last year, our services business, we broke it into two pieces.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

And one piece was spun off into a company called Kindrel, which is managed outsourcing.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

Keeping things running, and they're off creating their own company.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

what IBM then retained is really the part I built with PWCC, the big consulting arm.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

And so today, the IBM of today in 2023 is, you know, at least ending 2022, was 30% consulting, and the other 70% would be, what would you consider software cloud AI?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

So hybrid cloud and AI is the other, and some hardware, obviously, still the mainframe is modernized, alive, and kicking.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

And still running some of the most important things of every bank you can think of practically in the world.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

And so that is the IBM of today versus perhaps, you know, and Red Hat is a big piece and an important part of that software portfolio.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

And they had some services with them for implementation, but it wasn't a very large part.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

And it's grown by leaps and bounds, you know, because originally...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

the belief was everything was going to go to the public cloud.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

And at least many people thought that way.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

We didn't.
