I’ve been focused on and off on turnarounds since I covered IBM’s from the inside out in the 1990s, so I don’t know how I missed this, but EMC2‘s turnaround was clearly a success, and its unique resulting organizational structure is incredibly subtle. The company is actually far more similar in breadth to HP than most folks realize, largely because they mix up EMC and EMC2. They aren’t the same. This is almost like organizational magic, because people look at EMC2 and they don’t realize it isn’t EMC.
