Q & A

  • ¿Cuál fue la primera lección que aprendió de Steve Jobs?

    -La primera lección fue que los expertos generalmente no tienen la respuesta correcta; a menudo dicen que algo no se puede hacer, cuando en realidad es posible. Jobs enseñó a no escuchar a los expertos y en su lugar, seguir el instinto y el corazón.

  • ¿Por qué dice que los clientes no pueden decirnos lo que quieren?

    -Los clientes tienden a pedir mejoras en los productos existentes (mejor, más rápido, más barato) en lugar de solicitar innovaciones completamente nuevas. Por ello, es necesario tener una visión y pasión para anticiparse a las necesidades del cliente y llevarlos a la siguiente curva.

  • ¿Cómo describe la innovación en el mundo según el orador?

    -La verdadera innovación no ocurre en la curva en la que uno se encuentra, sino en la siguiente. Se da el ejemplo de la evolución del hielo, pasando de ser cortado en lagos congelados (Ice 1.0), a ser producido en fábricas (Ice 2.0), hasta la creación del refrigerador (Ice 3.0).

  • ¿Por qué es importante enfocarse en los beneficios y no en los procesos de una organización?

    -Es fundamental concentrarse en los beneficios que proporciona a los clientes en lugar de los métodos actuales de producción, ya que esto permite a la organización innovar y adaptarse a cambios en el mercado sin limitarse a su forma actual de operar.

  • ¿Qué llamó el orador 'metas feas y audaces' y por qué son importantes?

    -Se refiere a los desafíos ambiciosos que impulsan a las personas a lograr logros significativos. El orador menciona que cuando Apple desafió a IBM, una de las empresas más grandes y dominantes en ese momento, fue una meta audaz que llevó a grandes logros.

  • ¿Por qué el diseño es importante según lo que aprendió del orador?

    -El diseño es crucial porque las personas valoran la estética y la funcionalidad. Un producto bien diseñado no solo es agradable a la vista, sino que también puede ser más fácil de usar y puede reflejar la calidad y la innovación de la marca.

  • ¿Cuál es la clave para una presentación de PowerPoint exitosa según el orador?

    -El orador sugiere que las presentaciones deben utilizar grandes gráficos y tipografías para captar la atención del público. Esto evita que el orador se convierta en un mero lector de diapositivas y permite una comunicación más efectiva.

  • ¿Por qué cambiar de opinión es un signo de inteligencia según Steve Jobs?

    -Cambiar de opinión es un signo de inteligencia porque demuestra que una persona está dispuesta a adaptarse a nuevos datos y aceptar cuando estaba equivocada. Esto se evidenció cuando Jobs cambió su postura sobre la apertura del iPhone a aplicaciones de terceros.

  • ¿Cómo define el orador la relación entre el valor y el precio?

    -El orador aclara que el valor no es igual al precio. Un producto puede tener un precio más alto, pero si ofrece menos necesidad de capacitación, soporte y depuración, puede ser de mayor valor a largo plazo para el usuario.

  • ¿Por qué es importante contratar a personas que sean mejores que uno mismo?

    -Contratar a personas mejores que uno mismo evita la llamada 'explosión de bozos', donde la calidad de un equipo disminuye progresivamente a medida que se contrata a personas de menor calibre. Al contratar a A+ jugadores, se asegura que el equipo mantenga un alto nivel de competencia y excelencia.

  • ¿Por qué los CEO verdaderos deben hacer la demostración de sus productos?

    -Los CEO verdaderos deben hacer la demostración de sus productos porque muestran su compromiso y pasión por el producto. Además, es una oportunidad para conectar directamente con el público y transmitir la visión detrás del producto de una manera más auténtica y persuasiva.

  • ¿Cómo describe el orador el proceso de 'envío' en el mundo de la tecnología?

    -El orador menciona que en la tecnología, uno 'envía y luego prueba'. Esto significa que es preferible lanzar un producto que no sea perfecto y luego mejorarlo basado en la retroalimentación, en lugar de posponer el lanzamiento indefinidagamente.

  • ¿Cómo se reduce a un gráfico simple el concepto de marketing según el orador?

    -El marketing se reduce a un gráfico con dos ejes: el valor en el eje horizontal y la unicidad en el eje vertical. El objetivo es posicionarse en la esquina superior derecha del gráfico, donde se encuentra lo único y verdaderamente valioso.

  • ¿Cuál es la lección más valiosa que el orador aprendió de Steve Jobs?

    -La lección más valiosa fue que algunas cosas necesitan ser creídas para ser vistas. Esto significa que para cambiar el mundo, hay que tener fe en tus visiones y proyectos hasta el punto de hacer que otras personas también las crean y, por lo tanto, se hagan realidad.

😀 Aprendizajes de Steve Jobs

El orador comienza agradeciendo a la audiencia y expresa su placer por estar en San Diego. Describe su experiencia trabajando con Steve Jobs en dos períodos de su vida, desde 1983 a 1987 en la división Mac y luego después de 1997. El orador destaca la influencia de Jobs en su vida y cómo Jobs cambió el mundo. Presenta un listado de aprendizajes basado en su experiencia con Jobs, comenzando con la idea de que los expertos a menudo no tienen la respuesta correcta y que se debe seguir el instinto en lugar de sus consejos.

05:01

🤔 Los clientes no saben lo que quieren

Se discute cómo los clientes no pueden predecir sus propios deseos futuros y cómo es esencial tener una visión y pasión que te lleven a lo desconocido. Se menciona la importancia de anticiparse a las necesidades del cliente y alcanzar la siguiente curva tecnológica. Se da un ejemplo histórico de la industria del hielo para ilustrar cómo los avances tecnológicos pueden transformar completamente una industria.

10:02

🚀 Desafíos y logros significativos

El orador enfatiza la importancia de enfrentar desafíos grandes para lograr logros significativos, citando el deseo de Apple de competir contra IBM. Aborda la importancia del diseño, el uso de gráficos y tipografías grandes en presentaciones, y cómo cambiar de opinión es una señal de inteligencia. Relata la evolución de la política de aplicaciones de iPhone de Jobs y cómo la valoración de los expertos hacia las decisiones de Jobs cambió con el tiempo.

15:03

💰 Valor vs. Precio y el valor de los A+ jugadores

Se discute la diferencia entre el valor y el precio, y cómo los productos de Apple, aunque más caros, ofrecen un mejor valor debido a su calidad. El orador insiste en la necesidad de contratar personas de A+ y evitar la llamada 'explosión de bozos' que ocurre cuando se contrata a personas de menor calibre. Destaca la importancia de los CEO en hacer presentaciones y la filosofía de 'envía y luego prueba' en el ámbito de la tecnología.

🛠️ La importancia de la innovación y la entrega

El orador enfatiza que los verdaderos emprendedores envían productos, a pesar de que puedan ser imperfectos inicialmente. Relata la historia de los primeros Macintosh y cómo, a pesar de sus deficiencias, fueron revolucionarios. Finalmente, se presenta una metáfora gráfica para la marketing, donde se mide la unicidad y el valor, y se alienta a los emprendedores a situarse en la esquina superior derecha de ese gráfico, que representa crear algo único y verdaderamente valioso.

🌟 Crear para que otros crean

El orador comparte una de las lecciones más valiosas aprendidas de Steve Jobs: para cambiar el mundo, a veces debes hacer que las personas crean en una visión antes de que puedan verla. Expresa su honor por haber trabajado con Jobs, destacando que, aunque no fue fácil, fue una experiencia honorable. Finaliza con una anécdota humorística sobre Jobs en el cielo.

Mindmap

Keywords

💡Innovación

Innovación se refiere a la introducción de nuevas ideas, productos o métodos. En el video, se destaca cómo Steve Jobs fue un innovador que cambió el mundo con productos revolucionarios como el Macintosh, el iPhone y el iPod. La innovación es el tema central del mensaje, ya que Jobs no seguía tendencias sino que las establecía.

💡Desafío

Desafío representa los retos significativos que uno se propone superar. En el contexto del video, la empresa Apple, bajo la dirección de Steve Jobs, se enfrentó al gigante de la industria informática IBM. El desafío de superar a una empresa tan grande y dominante como IBM fue un factor clave en la motivación y el éxito de Apple.

💡Diseño

El diseño es un aspecto clave en la creación de productos atractivos y funcionales. Steve Jobs creía firmemente en la importancia del diseño, como se refleja en la estética de los productos de Apple. El video menciona la preferencia de los consumidores por productos delgados y hermosos sobre opciones más grandes y feas, subrayando que el diseño influye en la elección del usuario final.

💡Valor

Valor se refiere a la relación entre el precio de un producto y su utilidad o beneficio. El video destaca que los productos de Apple, aunque pueden ser más caros de entrada, ofrecen un mejor valor a largo plazo debido a su calidad y eficiencia, lo que reduce los costos asociados con la capacitación, el soporte y la depuración de errores.

💡Gestión de Equipos

La gestión de equipos implica contratar personas más talentosas que uno mismo. En el video, se advierte sobre la tendencia de los empleados de menor rendimiento a contratar a personas aún menos competentes, lo que conduce a un derrumbe en la calidad del equipo, conocido como 'explosión de bozos'. Jobs enfatizaba la contratación de personas de alto rendimiento, o 'jugador A+'.

💡Cambio de Mentalidad

Cambio de mentalidad se refiere a la capacidad de alterar una opinión o enfoque previo. Steve Jobs示范了这一点,当在2007年他宣布iPhone不会有 aplicaciones de terceros para mantener su seguridad y confiabilidad, pero un año después, Apple presentó una plataforma de desarrollo de iPhone. Esto muestra que cambiar de opinión puede ser un signo de inteligencia y adaptabilidad.

💡Demostración

Una demostración es una presentación que muestra cómo funciona un producto o servicio. En el video, se resalta la importancia de que los CEO de verdad hagan la demostración de sus productos, como lo hacía Steve Jobs con el Macintosh en 1984, lo que demuestra su compromiso y pasión por el producto.

💡Entrega

La entrega se refiere a la finalización y lanzamiento de un producto al mercado. El video menciona que los verdaderos empresarios entregan sus productos; no esperan a que sean perfectos. La filosofía de Jobs era que es mejor lanzar un producto y luego mejorarlo, en lugar de esperar por la perfección, una actitud que llevó a la creación de productos revolucionarios.

💡Mercadeo

El marketing es el proceso de promocionar y vender productos o servicios. El video describe cómo el marketing se puede simplificar a un gráfico con dos ejes: la unicidad y el valor. Jobs creía firmemente en posicionar sus productos en la esquina superior derecha de este gráfico, donde se encuentra la unicidad y el valor, lo que lo hace único y valioso para los consumidores.

💡Creencias

Las creencias son las percepciones y convicciones personales que指導一个人的行动和 decisiones. El video concluye con la idea de que para cambiar el mundo, a menudo se necesita creer en algo antes de que sea visible o real. Esta fue una lección clave que el orador aprendió de Jobs: la importancia de la fe en la visión y el sueño para hacer que se haga realidad.

Highlights

Steve Jobs had a profound influence on the speaker's life and career, shaping his approach to innovation and business.

Experts are often wrong; they may advise against pursuing innovative ideas that later prove successful.

Customers can't always articulate what they want, so visionaries must lead with their intuition and creativity.

Innovation occurs not on the current curve but on the next one, emphasizing the importance of foresight and anticipating future needs.

Big challenges should be embraced as they lead to the most significant accomplishments.

Design matters significantly; people are drawn to products that are aesthetically pleasing and well-crafted.

Effective presentations use large graphics and fonts, which helps to engage the audience and convey information clearly.

Changing one's mind is a sign of intelligence and adaptability, as demonstrated by Steve Jobs' shift on the iPhone's app policy.

Value is not equivalent to price; offering high-value products can lead to better customer satisfaction and less reliance on price competition.

Hiring practices should aim to bring in A+ players who are better than oneself to avoid the downward spiral of mediocrity.

CEOs should be hands-on, capable of demonstrating their products effectively to show commitment and leadership.

Entrepreneurs need to ship products; waiting for perfection can delay innovation and market opportunities.

Marketing can be simplified to a graph measuring uniqueness and value, with the goal of positioning products in the top right quadrant.

Belief is a precursor to realization; to change the world, one must first believe in their vision for others to see its potential.

Working for Steve Jobs was a challenging but honorable experience that left a lasting impact on the speaker's approach to business and life.

play00:11

thank you very much good morning people

play00:14

of San Diego good go Triton's it's a

play00:17

real pleasure to be here thank you thank

play00:19

you so I am going to talk to you today

play00:21

about what I learned from Steve Jobs I

play00:23

work for Steve Jobs kind of twice in my

play00:25

life the first time from 1983 to 1987 in

play00:28

the Mac division which was the largest

play00:30

collection of egomaniacs in the history

play00:32

of Silicon Valley and that's saying a

play00:35

lot if you know people from Silicon

play00:37

Valley the second time was right after

play00:40

the 1997 1998 timeframe and so I had two

play00:44

tours of duty with Steve I will tell you

play00:47

that he was just the greatest influence

play00:50

in my life I would not be where I am

play00:51

without him the world is a lot less

play00:55

interesting place without Steve Jobs

play00:56

there is no question about that

play00:58

and so I've seen many books and many

play01:01

things written about Steve Jobs and I

play01:03

took it upon myself to write from a

play01:04

first-person person who was inside the

play01:07

reality distortion field what I learned

play01:09

from Steve Jobs I usually use a top 10

play01:12

format but as Steve Jobs cannot be

play01:15

limited with these usual rules so I

play01:17

actually have a top 12 format today and

play01:20

so I'm going to pass along everything

play01:22

that I learned from Steve Jobs so that

play01:23

you may apply it to your lives your

play01:26

businesses your studies so that you may

play01:28

in fact change the world because one of

play01:30

the things that Steve Jobs certainly did

play01:32

was change the world so may he rest in

play01:35

peace

play01:35

but may his influence continue to

play01:39

inspire us so number one thing that I

play01:41

learned from Steve Jobs is that experts

play01:43

are usually clueless they will tell you

play01:45

something can't be done shouldn't be

play01:47

done and isn't necessary many many

play01:49

people in the 1983 timeframe told Apple

play01:51

build a bigger faster cheaper Apple to

play01:54

don't do anything silly like get to the

play01:56

next curve experts are clueless not one

play01:59

of them should be believed as a young

play02:02

person in particular do not listen to

play02:04

the experts listen to your heart go for

play02:07

it when your counter naysaying go

play02:10

against the naysaying

play02:11

you know this is what I call bozo City

play02:14

it was awesome is like the flu

play02:16

you have to inoculate yourself so that

play02:19

when you encounter velocity you will

play02:21

already have built up resistance I'm

play02:22

going to give you three examples of Bo's

play02:24

acity so you've built up the antigens to

play02:27

the balsa city first velocity I think

play02:29

there's a world market for maybe five

play02:30

computers the chairman of IBM allegedly

play02:33

said there's five computers in the world

play02:34

I have five computers in my house all

play02:36

the computers he anticipated in the

play02:38

world in my house this telephone has too

play02:41

many shortcomings to be seriously

play02:43

considered as a means of communication

play02:44

the device is inherently of no value to

play02:47

us Western Union 1876 in 1876 Western

play02:51

Union wrote off telephony oops

play02:54

Western Union should be PayPal today but

play02:57

it's hard to go from Telegraph to

play03:00

computer to Internet if you skip

play03:02

telephone in the middle it's too big a

play03:04

chasm to cross there's no reason why

play03:06

anyone would want a computer in their

play03:08

home Ken Olsen founder of Dec great

play03:10

entrepreneur great innovator he was so

play03:12

successful on the mini computer curve he

play03:15

could not embrace the personal computer

play03:17

curve number one experts are usually

play03:19

clueless number two customers cannot

play03:22

tell you what they want customers will

play03:24

tell you they want better faster cheaper

play03:25

Apple two better faster cheaper status

play03:28

quo better faster cheaper of what you

play03:31

already make nobody asked Apple for a

play03:33

128 K Macintosh with no software thanks

play03:36

to my efforts 400 K floppy 128 km nobody

play03:42

asked them they wanted better faster

play03:44

cheaper Apple to customers usually

play03:46

cannot tell you what they want you have

play03:49

to have your vision your passion you

play03:51

need to jump ahead of them the way to

play03:53

jump ahead of then is to get to the next

play03:56

curve the next thing that I learned from

play03:57

Steve Jobs the action the true action

play03:59

the great innovation in the world

play04:01

doesn't occur on the curve you are on it

play04:04

occurs on the next curve classic example

play04:07

ice 1.0 bubba and junior would go to a

play04:10

frozen lake or frozen pond and cut

play04:12

blocks of ice in the 1900s

play04:14

7 million pounds of ice was harvested in

play04:16

1900 the technology at that point was

play04:19

horse saw sleigh frozen lake frozen

play04:24

on cold time of the year go out to the

play04:26

lake cut the ice ice 1.0 30 years later

play04:29

ice 2.0 ice factory now you froze water

play04:33

essentially big technological change now

play04:36

it didn't have to be winter you didn't

play04:38

have to be in a cold city you could have

play04:39

an ice factory in San Diego you can have

play04:42

an ice factory in Hawaii

play04:43

you could have an ice factory in Mumbai

play04:44

it could be any place big change

play04:47

ice 3.0 refrigerator curved now the ice

play04:51

man didn't have to deliver ice to your

play04:52

house you don't have to go to the ice

play04:54

factory to get your eyes you're your own

play04:56

personal ice factory in your house

play04:58

called a refrigerator a PC if you will a

play05:00

personal chiller the very interesting

play05:05

fact is that none of the ice harvesters

play05:07

became ice factories and none of the ice

play05:09

factories became refrigerator companies

play05:11

and why is that it's because most

play05:13

organizations define themselves in terms

play05:16

of what they already do we cut blocks of

play05:19

ice in the winter we freeze water

play05:22

essentially we make a device called a

play05:25

refrigerator you need to step back from

play05:28

what you currently do and look at the

play05:30

benefits you provide your customers your

play05:32

clients the ice business is

play05:35

fundamentally in the business of

play05:36

convenience and cleanliness and it can

play05:39

be done by harvesting ice but it can be

play05:41

done by freezing ice centrally and it

play05:44

can be done with your personal ice

play05:46

factory concentrate on the benefits not

play05:50

the processes of your organization the

play05:53

fourth thing I learned from Steve Jobs

play05:54

is the big challenges beget the biggest

play05:57

accomplishments give people what tom

play05:59

peters called the big hairy audacious

play06:01

goals when IBM came into the computer

play06:05

business Apple ran this ad we welcomed

play06:07

IBM to the computer business because we

play06:10

wanted to take on the biggest the most

play06:13

impressive the most dominant company

play06:15

welcome IBM seriously it was a huge goal

play06:19

Steve told us we want to defeat IBM we

play06:22

want to send IBM back to the typewriter

play06:24

business holding its electric balls

play06:28

the biggest challenge we get the biggest

play06:30

accomplishments number five design

play06:33

counts don't let people tell you that

play06:36

design doesn't count

play06:37

people care about thinness and

play06:40

beautifulness and aluminium not black

play06:45

ugly plastic laptops how many of you use

play06:49

a big black thick ugly laptop hold your

play06:53

hands up yeah you are oppressed because

play06:59

nobody nobody voluntarily uses a big

play07:04

thick black ugly laptop I feel bad for

play07:08

you I feel bad for you you could have

play07:11

something cool and thin and beautiful

play07:15

enough people in the world care about

play07:18

design design counts number six use big

play07:22

graphics and big fonts this is the key

play07:25

to pitching just do this and you'll be

play07:29

better than 90% of the people using

play07:31

PowerPoint I'll show you a great great

play07:34

Steve Jobs slide this is Steve Jobs

play07:37

slide at its best huge windows logo huge

play07:44

logo iTunes 150 point font the best

play07:49

Windows app ever written Steve Jobs with

play07:54

this slide is proclaiming that Apple has

play07:58

written the best Windows app he's using

play08:01

a huge logo huge font count how many

play08:06

words are on that slide iTunes the best

play08:08

Windows app ever written like seven

play08:11

words the key to a great PowerPoint

play08:14

presentation big font big graphics if

play08:18

you use a small font and you read your

play08:20

small font what happens is the audience

play08:23

one slide into your presentation figures

play08:25

out this bozo is reading his slides

play08:29

verbatim I can read the slides to myself

play08:32

faster than this bozo can read them to

play08:35

me so why don't I just read ahead

play08:38

and you lose your audience if you want a

play08:42

I realize this is a heavy engineering

play08:44

crowd

play08:45

I'll give you an algorithm the algorithm

play08:47

is figure out who the oldest person is

play08:49

in the audience

play08:50

divide his or her age by two if you're

play08:53

talking to 6000 people divided by two

play08:55

thirty points 50 year-old people divided

play08:59

by 225 points someday you may be

play09:01

pitching a 16 year old venture capital s

play09:03

you that they use the eight point five

play09:05

okay but until that they big font big

play09:09

graphic number seven changing your mind

play09:12

is a sign of intelligence many people

play09:16

believe that changing your mind is a

play09:17

sign of stupidity because you got it

play09:20

wrong and you don't want to admit that

play09:22

you're wrong you want to hide the fact

play09:24

that you're wrong you don't want to hold

play09:26

it out that you had to change your mind

play09:28

Steve Jobs taught me exactly the

play09:30

opposite this is a press release from

play09:34

June 11 2007 this is when iPhone was

play09:37

introduced our innovative approach using

play09:40

web 2.0 based standards lets developers

play09:42

create amazing new applications while

play09:45

keeping the iPhone secure and reliable

play09:48

June 11 2007 the introduction of the

play09:52

iPhone Steve Jobs is telling you why

play09:54

there can be no third party apps for an

play09:56

iPhone if you want to do something that

play09:59

adds functionality to an iPhone you have

play10:01

to have a Safari plug-in it's because

play10:04

we're doing you a favor we want you to

play10:06

have a phone that is secure and reliable

play10:09

one could logically ask at that point

play10:12

well Steve why do you say that the phone

play10:14

has to be secure and reliable but the

play10:16

computer doesn't why is it that they're

play10:19

third-party apps for the computer

play10:21

nevermind don't ask a year later

play10:25

Apple press release Apple executives to

play10:28

showcase Mac OS 10 leopard and OS 10

play10:31

iPhone development platforms at

play10:34

Worldwide Developers Conference 2008

play10:37

keynote one year later Steve Jobs has

play10:39

gone from we are going to allow no

play10:41

third-party apps for the iPhone 2 we now

play10:44

have an iPhone development platform may

play10:47

there be many many different kind of

play10:49

apps ranging from measuring your heart

play10:52

rate - I fart whatever it takes right

play10:55

this is a 180-degree reversal Steve Jobs

play11:00

said closed system Steve Jobs said open

play11:04

system twelve months later changing your

play11:07

mind is a sign of intelligence and just

play11:09

FYI when Steve Jobs in 2007 said that

play11:13

the iPhone had to be closed that you

play11:15

would have a secure and safe phone all

play11:17

the experts said my god Steve is right

play11:21

you have to have a really secure and

play11:24

protected phone 12 months later Steve

play11:26

opens up the phone and guess what the

play11:28

experts say my god Steve is right you

play11:33

want an open system so you can have an

play11:34

app for that

play11:35

number eight value is not equal to price

play11:40

there's a difference here Macintosh

play11:43

iPhone iPod any of those things I

play11:46

anything is not the cheapest but

play11:48

arguably it is the highest value this is

play11:52

a screenshot from an adware the windows

play11:55

guy had to run a bake sale to get money

play11:57

to support the bugs in Windows NT the

play12:01

Macintosh guy doesn't have to do that

play12:03

because there are less bugs effectively

play12:05

it's saying that yes a Macintosh may

play12:08

cost more at the front end but when you

play12:10

consider training and support and

play12:12

debugging it is a better value price is

play12:16

different from value try to never fight

play12:19

on price number nine a players higher A+

play12:23

players that is a good person hires a

play12:26

better person not a lesser person what

play12:29

you'll see is that B players because of

play12:32

their insecurities like the higher C

play12:34

players they want to feel better than

play12:36

the person they hired the problem is

play12:38

when a B player has a C player it

play12:40

creates this downward spiral and the C

play12:43

player hires the deep layer and the D

play12:45

player hires the e player and guess what

play12:48

pretty soon you're surrounded by Z

play12:52

players

play12:53

this is what we call in Silicon Valley

play12:55

the bozo explosion you need to fight the

play13:00

bozo explosion this is a picture of the

play13:03

Macintosh division this is a reunion

play13:05

held about 25 years after the Macintosh

play13:08

some of the brightest people I've ever

play13:09

worked with I consider it an honor to

play13:11

have worked with them number 10 number

play13:14

10 is that real

play13:15

CEOs demo they don't pass it to a VP of

play13:20

Engineering or a product manager or a PR

play13:23

weenie they do the demo great CEOs can

play13:27

do the demo this is a picture of Steve

play13:30

demonstrating the Macintosh 128k in 1984

play13:34

he did the demo by himself I think many

play13:37

of you probably start a company one day

play13:39

remember this day you want to be a great

play13:42

CEO you have to do the demo if you

play13:46

cannot do the demo you are a loser do

play13:51

the demo number 11

play13:53

real entrepreneurs ship they ship the

play13:58

way it works in Silicon Valley is we

play14:00

ship and then we test okay except

play14:06

biotech so

play14:08

one of the differences if you look at

play14:11

this this is a very early version of

play14:14

essentially a Macintosh however it came

play14:16

from Xerox PARC Xerox PARC pioneered the

play14:20

mouse graphical user interface windowing

play14:23

tiling drawing with the mouse all these

play14:25

kinds of things but there is between

play14:27

Apple and Xerox PARC is that Apple could

play14:31

ship you know there's a great song don't

play14:35

worry be happy by Bobby McFerrin right

play14:37

but really when it comes to innovation

play14:40

the correct song is don't worry be

play14:44

crappy the first Macintosh was arguably

play14:49

a piece of crap 128 K of ram 400 K

play14:52

floppy drive no software thanks to me

play14:54

slow printer piece of crap but it was a

play14:57

revolutionary piece of crap it was

play15:01

better than the best ms-dos machine

play15:03

better than the best Apple to the first

play15:05

laser printer arguably a piece of crap

play15:08

ten thousand dollars printing

play15:11

single-sided eight and a half by eleven

play15:13

slow appletalk network a piece of crap

play15:16

but it was so much better than the best

play15:18

daisy wheel printer it was okay to ship

play15:22

the way it works in technologies you

play15:25

ship and then you test real CEOs ship

play15:31

number twelve marketing can be distilled

play15:34

to one simple graph this graph has two

play15:39

axes on the vertical axis we measure

play15:42

uniqueness on the horizontal axis we

play15:44

measure value this is a two by two

play15:46

matrix if any of you go on to work for

play15:48

McKinsey you will learn that in a

play15:50

two-by-two matrix you always want the

play15:51

upper right-hand corner okay Mackenzie

play15:54

will charge you 25 grand for that so

play15:56

let's discuss all four corners the

play15:59

bottom right corner is where you create

play16:00

something of value but it's not unique

play16:02

there you have to compete on price slam

play16:04

operating system on the same hardware

play16:06

you have to compete on price the

play16:08

opposite corner in the opposite corner

play16:10

you have something truly unique only you

play16:12

do it but it is of no value in that

play16:14

corner you're just plain stupid in the

play16:17

bottom left corner that's what I call

play16:19

the dot-com corner because there you

play16:20

have a company like pets calm

play16:22

that does something that is of no value

play16:23

and stupid people like me funded ten

play16:26

other clones of pets.com so it has no

play16:29

value and it's not unique that's the

play16:31

worst corner of all but the corner you

play16:33

want to be in the holy grail of

play16:34

marketing the holy grail of

play16:36

entrepreneurship the holy grail of

play16:38

innovation the holy grail of making

play16:40

meaning in the world is the upper

play16:42

right-hand corner create something

play16:44

that's unique and truly valuable it's

play16:49

unique and truly valuable Macintosh was

play16:52

unique and truly valuable there are

play16:55

other things this is the brightening

play16:56

emergency watch this watch if you pull

play16:57

out the antenna puts out an emergency

play17:00

signal so you don't do this when you

play17:01

just take the wrong gasket you do this

play17:03

when you're about to die okay because if

play17:05

you do this there'll be a Coast Guard

play17:07

helicopter looking for you and Kevin

play17:09

Costner is going to be in the helicopter

play17:10

okay so but this is a watch that can

play17:12

save your life not many watches can save

play17:15

your life this watch is unique and

play17:17

valuable the key to all of marketing all

play17:20

of innovation is you need to be in that

play17:22

upper right-hand corner make something

play17:24

unique and valuable and this is my last

play17:27

slide and my last slide is to tell you

play17:29

that one of the most valuable lessons

play17:31

that I learned from Steve is that in

play17:33

life some things need to be believed to

play17:37

be seen usually you hear this the

play17:40

opposite way that in order for you to

play17:42

believe something you have to see it but

play17:45

I will tell you when it comes to

play17:46

changing the world what I learned from

play17:48

Steve Jobs is if you believe in a

play17:50

Macintosh if you believe in iPhone iPod

play17:52

iPad if you believe enough then you will

play17:55

see it because other people will believe

play17:58

in it other people will create software

play18:00

other people will create products so you

play18:02

need to foster the belief in what you

play18:05

are dreaming so that it becomes a

play18:07

reality which is very different than

play18:09

saying I don't expect anybody to believe

play18:11

it until I see it you need people to

play18:14

believe it before they can see it and

play18:17

then I'd like to wrap up you know I

play18:20

consider it an honor to have worked for

play18:22

Steve Jobs

play18:22

it wasn't easy it wasn't easy but it was

play18:25

an honor and I could tell you right now

play18:28

in heaven Steve Jobs is telling God what

play18:33

to do

play18:34

thank you very much thank you really

play18:36

thank you
