Unsurprisingly some CEOs unceremoniously get axed at this tough period, tough time they say only ephemeral but tough people rule longlast. Visionary leaders arent easy to get by and hired, in the same vein unanimous decision undifficult to reach in getting visionless leaders fired. At present time, where innovations change at near rate of speed of light, top IT companies need strategists at helms.
I am not sure how much experience she has in electronic industry as i could not find much about her experience at Motorola (i accept that i did not do much extensive search). She has been very successful at Pepsico but i am skeptic of her talking the helm at HP.
Nooyi has worked for Motorola and also ABB. She was so effective that she eventually become CEO of Pepsico. This may be good challenge for her and it offers her challenge to make her prganization become second to Apple.

the right question is whether HP is a right place for Nooyi? She has a broad leadership and executive experience but at a much smaller organization and in completely different industry.
I believe that HP needs a person with exceptional analytical skills, leadership ability with some knowledge of the electronic industry rather than a celebrity. If Whitman wants to stay at HP for a longer time then she will have to first stop the downfall of HP and then think through of reshaping HP.
Apotheker dismissal is as a result of his inability to deliver, this is understandable but can Whitman deliver, hope she will be able to fix HP as FTD was unfixable.
The decision of HP's board to change its CEOs so soon point to the fact that the board is in disarray. It's like they lack the idea of the company objectives, may be they are people from different industries, they are known for celebrity CEOs.
I wish HP gets onto right path under the new leadership of whitman. Specifica challenges for her to actually define a strategy and exexute it successfully. What would be new business for the HP other than the newly acquired british firm. I think they should venture into IT services like what IBM has done in India. May be they can acquire a big services company in India.

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
While no one really can accurately predict the future, we can take guidance from another Drucker saying which is the best way to predict the future is to create it.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically.
Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions?
Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
