I Convinced HP's Board to Buy Palm for $1.2B. Then I Watched Them Kill It in 49 Days philmckinney.substack.com
This is the story of how smart people destroyed $1.2 billion in innovation value in just 49 days. It's about the brutal personal cost of being blamed for a disaster that happened while you're recovering from surgery. And it's about why I still believe in HP despite everything that went wrong.
Interesting story I haven't heard about yet.
