Mark Hurd Resigns Following Sexual Harassment Investigation: HOLY CRAP!!!

Hewlett Packard (NYSE:HPQ) on Friday announced the resignation of Chairman, CEO and President Mark Hurd, effective immediately. HP CFO Cathie Lesjak has been appointed interim CEO.

According to a statement from HP, Hurd made his decision following the conclusion of a sexual harassment investigation, in which Hurd was found in violation of HP's Standards of Business Conduct, though not its sexual harassment policy. The claim of sexual harassment was brought by a former contractor to HP, whose name was not provided.

"As the investigation progressed, I realized there were instances in which I did not live up to the standards and principles of trust, respect and integrity that I have espoused at HP and which have guided me throughout my career," Hurd said in a statement. "After a number of discussions with members of the board, I will move aside and the board will search for new leadership"

Managed Print Services: EatersOfTheDead

August 2010 -

I attended a webinar hosted by the MPSA. The subject matter included a quick synopsis of the MPS industry by InfoTrends and a future view of the MPSA and how our members can contribute to the growth of the Association.

Jim Fitzpatrick, MPSA President presented very well.

The "state of the industry" provided by InfoTrends was great and relevant - unfortunately for me, nothing new.

A re-occurring theme was exposed - the cannibalization of our industry.

Randy, from InfoTrends, observed the "eroding of the supplies market..." and that there is no "real expansion in the market..."

More poignantly, we are "cannibalizing the market".

Randy and others are half right.
