Steve Jobs was one of a kind. I have been inspired by what has been written about him since his passing.
I believe the challenge for most organizations is how do you imprint ‘Steve Jobs’ on your culture? Lots of companies are looking for the next Ipod, or Ipad, but what Steve Jobs figured out, it’s the system of invention and not the invention itself that creates success. By the time Apple’s inventions are copied, they are on to the next cool thing. No wonder they are the most valued company in the world.
Over the past several years, my organization, Impact Washington, has been working on how to help companies create the ‘system’. I am receiving my black belt in innovation through NIST/MEP. As good as the training has been, this article talking about Steve Jobs’ Seven Rules of Success give one the ‘focus’.
