It’s great that RIM is finally taking action and putting the kibosh on the circus show its two former co-CEOs (still a ridiculous thing to say, co-CEO) were putting. However, both men will be sticking around. I went back and read RIM’s press release and found this little gem:
Mike Lazaridis, former Co-Chair and Co-CEO, has become Vice Chair of RIM’s Board and Chair of the Board’s new Innovation Committee.
So basically, one of the guys responsible for RIM’s lack of innovation is staying on chairman of the “new” Innovation Committee.
As for the other guy:
Jim Balsillie remains a member of the Board.
