IT Quote of the Week: Louis Gerstner
We are continuing our IBM theme this week. The obviously have had a number of smart people work there!
International Business Machines (IBM) was one of the first information technology companies in the world and definitely the first one to become a Fortune 100 company. Its CEOs, such as Louis Gerstner, therefore make for worthy additions to our IT Thought of the Day Quote of the Week Series. Last week we featured their founder, this week, we go to their CEO from 1993-2000, Louis Gerstner. He is most famous for his massive reorganization of the company away from hardware and into consulting.
I like Information Age quotations. I find some of them very inspirational and like to carry a new one around about every week. I thought that i could share mine with you from time to time.
Here is my quote of the day:
“Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.”
