Over the past few weeks we've had a lot of news from HP and the biggest news of all may have been announced today. The HP Board of Directors has ousted CEO Leo Apotheker and installed Meg Whitman as the new CEO. Whitman, the former eBay CEO and California Gubernatorial candidate, was on the HP board so she's already familiar with the workings of the company and will, hopefully, make the changes needed to get HP back "in the game".
I have always been impressed with Meg Whitman as a leader and hope she can make the corrections in HP's path that are really needed. In my opinion here are the steps she needs to take:
1- un-kill WebOS and their tablet products.
2- stop the spin off of their PC business and get it re-focused, sharply re-focused. PCs are far from dead, there is going to be an incredible demand for full powered PCs for many years to come.
3- become really focused on the channel. Partners are still the way you swell PC sales by the bunch instead of singly.
Good luck Meg. We wish you the best.
