“What really matters is that companies that don’t continue to experiment – companies that don’t embrace failure – they eventually get into a desperate position, where the only thing they can do is make a ‘Hail Mary’ bet at the very end of their corporate existence. I don’t believe in bet-the-company bets.”

@c1+1k3mev9d2 - All true....
What will they learn? "How not to run a business for Dummies" 😂 Couple of key chapters would pretty much cover the sh*t show that will be Avaya's legacy: Private Equity Debt. Arrogance. Greed. Deception. Lack of meaningful R&D innovation. Cash Cow Milking. Poor acquisitions. Poor/Old Products. Poor partnerships.
