Failure to Commercialize
This five year project is the poster child for big projects by big organization with leaders chosen for skills other than getting a great idea to a shipping product. IBM took $40 million, Price Waterhouse $30 million and produced a laboratory mock-up at best.
The leader was connected, with impeccable credentials for healing, for teaching, but NOT for managing a firm with the stated aims of producing a product.
