According to the WSJ, Ive departed out of steadily increasing frustration with this, to his mind uninteresting, process (relying on the Apple ecosystem surrounding the iPhone rather than creating fresh innovation.) Cook instead focuses on operations and squeezing the most revenue possible out of the Apple ecosystem. Apple is of course led by operations wiz in Tim Cook, who according to the Wall Street Journal, took little interest in product design after taking over for the late Steve Jobs in 2011. The departure of Jony Ive this week is symptomatic – Apple is a company now dedicated to excellence in production and more recently in providing services that take advantage of 900 million iPhone users, not new products. Is such a renaissance in the future for Apple as well? The departure of Ive does not bode well. It’s a “Nadellaisance”… How Satya Nadella Remade Microsoft as the World’s Most Valuable Company and What Businesses Can Learn From Satya Nadellas Transformation of Microsoft. Bear in mind, this is a trillion-dollar company with earnings still growing at more than 10% per year. I’ll summarize that Nadella brought fresh innovation enabled by a freshened culture of innovation, rather than relying on past success. You may not be aware of exactly how Nadella turned Microsoft around. I thought and still do that this would replicate the experience of Microsoft when it elevated Satya Nadella to CEO and took off like a rocket.

You may remember my prediction at the beginning of 2019 in my article, 2019 Silicon Valley Predictions: Who Stays and Who Goes, that Jony Ive would become the CEO of Apple (supported by an Execution Master like Sheryl Sandberg as president). We want to make the future and to do that we know we have to learn and adapt.

Visionaries see the future Vision Masters MAKE the future. Why? Because we know that being a visionary is not enough. And we don’t stand in one place sucking wealth from our past glory we’re continuously challenging ourselves and those around us to go further into the impossible. We don’t hang around imagining what others will do. Let’s be clear that this report is addressed to Vision Masters because we’re the kind of innovators who study events and learn from them. With the future yet unwritten, what is there you as an innovator and Vision Master can learn today? For those in the know, this is no surprise, a long-time coming, but also a huge punctuation mark in the ongoing saga of Apple’s recent decline and turn-around to come.
Just in case you’ve been sleeping under a rock this week, Jony Ive – the longtime friend and colleague of Steve Jobs who Jobs dug out of industrial-design obscurity to help design the iMac, iPod, iPad, and iPhone – has now left Apple to launch his own independent design firm LoveFrom. With any luck and your help, Apple’s board may also get the message. You, my faithful Vision Master reader, are a perpetual optimist, so in this research report, I expose seven positive and valuable lessons you can get out of the recent departure from Apple Inc. Read on…Īs the old story goes, a pessimist walks into a room with a pile of dung and says “There’s nothing here but a pile of horse sh*t.” An optimist walks into a room finding just a pile of horse sh*t and declares “There’s got to be a pony in here somewhere.”
