This seems like a classical case of right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing at a huge institution, multiplied by the author's desire to get a 6-paragraph story out, where the headline is half the size of the story's body.
The opposing "hands" in this case are "company's Smarter Workforce branch", whatever that is, and "Chief Marketing Officer" in a message addressed only to his subordinates.
But sure, both can be classified as "The IBM", no matter how stretching or misleading that may be.
