Has Cisco strategy guru and senior vice president Inder Sidhu been quietly put out to pasture?
It's been my experience that when the bio of a Cisco executive is removed from Cisco's Mount Rushmore, it may not be a good signal for the Cisco career of that executive.
Presto, today Inder Sidhu has now magically reappeared on Cisco's Mount Rushmore, which is a very good thing for his Cisco Career, read more...
Cisco appears to have quietly shutdown its much ballyhooed "innovation factory," the Emerging Technology Group (ETG).
Heck, it was only 6-years ago that Cisco enthusiastically gushed:

Perhaps doing both (i.e. being an "innovation factory" while simultaneously executing core business strategy) didn't work out well for Cisco.
How so?
Well, Cisco's Senior Vice President, Strategy and Planning, Worldwide Operations, Inder Sidhu, has quietly disappeared from Cisco's prestigious Mount Rushmore (i.e. the Cisco executive bios web page).
I mean, it's been my experience that when the bio of a Cisco executive is removed from Cisco's Mount Rushmore, it may not be a good signal for the Cisco career of that executive.
