http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/execteam/speeches/fiorina/mit02.htmlThe preceeding was a speech she spouted over a year ago, including an eyebrow-raising:
...trust, honesty, integrity, accountability and responsibility.
Even during those times when those values weren't necessarily in vogue, this school has always made it a priority to teach students that there is sometimes a difference between the legal thing to do and the moral thing to do; that to do what's profitable without doing right is ultimately to do wrong.
There are a number of things I'd love to discuss with you this morning. I'd love to talk about the transformation we see in technology today, which is that physical processes are becoming digital processes. I'd love to tell you how that transformation is driving a fundamental shift in the value proposition in the technology industry, away from those companies that can provide simple point products—like isolated servers or PCs- toward those companies that can put information technology ingredients together to provide end-to-end solutions. And I would love to tell you why the new HP, which we fought so hard to create, is uniquely positioned at the center of this industry to lead this revolution.
But the truth is, I think all corporate leaders today have a responsibility that goes beyond simply expounding on the particular trends in their particular industries. In light of the corporate abuses we have seen in the past year, I think all of us have a unique responsibility to help restore faith in the American economy.
Whether we've been touched by scandal or not, I believe it's incumbent on all corporate leaders to take ownership of this problem, and to lead by example at our own companies. As a group, we as corporate leaders have an opportunity to make clear, in our words as well as our actions, what we have always known to be true: that management serves at the pleasure and for the benefit of our shareowners, our customers and our employees—and not the other way around. Restoring that faith—and rebuilding that trust—is what I'd like to spend a few minutes talking about here today.
I do so knowing that a CEO giving a speech on corporate governance is to immediately invite inspection. But if CEOs don't speak out because they don't want to draw scrutiny, then corporate leaders will lose their voices in this discussion, which will give the initiative to people who know a lot about regulating business but not quite as much about running them.
