Chapters

Typically, a company innovates inside of their offices. At IBM, we're different. Because innovation doesn't happen behind a desk. Innovation happens inside of here. Tipping points are nothing but change, and human beings are afraid of change, right? We don't want change, but you gotta change. It's red! It's red? Oh, I'm from New York. It doesn't matter. Red is green! Life is nothing but tipping points, but at the other side of a tipping point is bliss, is success. It's right here. So let's— I love this place. So this is my favorite spot because every time I come here, everything has changed. Life is dynamic, business is dynamic, and this stimulates my creative process. This makes me feel very comfortable. Hear the birds? Isn't it pretty? See, that's why you need to hear this stuff. You spend the day at the desk and then you hear these birds and it puts you in the right, you know. Innovation today is about culture, not so much about technology. Culture is the most important thing. I'm an optimist. I think the world's just heading in a better place.
