SUMMARY
How did a 107-year old technology company survive a category that would inevitably be transformed beyond recognition? IBM not only survived the massive change, but also shaped society and the industry at large, using effective communications to bring the world consistent thought leadership throughout. Today, ‘responsiveness’, ‘consistency’, and ‘commitment’ to the brand has distinguished IBM as the 12th most valuable brand in the world, and the #1 most valuable pure B2B brand in the world - and its revenues are growing.
