Over time, companies start new projects, which means creating new infrastructure, adding servers, databases, etc. This is a normal part of the development cycle. However, despite best efforts, inventories get out of sync.

(Who says Elephants can’t Dance.)
Why did Lou say something so utterly counter-intuitive?
It was because he didn’t have enough information at that time to form a strategy. He spent the next year gathering knowledge from customers, employees, and suppliers to identify what made IBM great. Then he created the strategy to reinforce the notion that IBM’s strength came from its ability to craft and deliver multi-national, complex solutions and support these solutions once delivered. The strategy was supported by the creation of two divisions, services, and software. The value proposition (and margins) rescued IBM.
