The competence gap manifests itself between short term blunders and long term promises.
At Intel this is recognized through a list of execution errors in mobile, pc, iot and process matched with the future promise of 5G, autonomous vehicles, VR and free energy.
To be really successful and rich manager at Intel you have to make the competence gap as big as possible. Hence not a single big bet can be evaluated until 2020. This time frame allows BK, MURTHY, AICHA, STACY AND DIANE to become 100m heirs.
There will be some sacrifices along the way but these are just collateral damage.
