In the 2004 Tom Peters seminar, insights were shared on IBM's strategic pivot under Sam Palmisano, focusing on expanding technology's boundaries to revolutionize business models. Palmisano envisions accessing $500 billion annually in untapped revenues. The seminar also highlighted other socio-economic trends, such as the outsourcing of clergy services in the U.S. and the emphasis on girls' education as a catalyst for development in emerging markets. These themes underscore the intersection of technology, social trends, and strategic business growth.

The payoff for IBM would be access to an ocean of revenue—Palmisano estimates it at $500 billion a year—that technology companies have never been able to touch.” —Fortune/06.14.04
