Very Often Design Is The Most Immediate

The Best Ideas Start As Conversations.

We’re Keenly Aware That When We Develop And Make Something And Bring It To Market That It Really Does Speak To A Set Of Values. And What Preoccupies Us Is That Sense Of Care, And What Our Products Will Not Speak To Is A Schedule, What Our Products Will Not Speak To Is Trying To Respond To Some Corporate Or Competitive Agenda. We’re Very Genuinely Designing The Best Products That We Can For People.

The Word Design Is Everything And Nothing. The Design And The Product Itself Are Inseparable.

Perhaps I'd Like To Design Cars, But I Don't Think I'd Be Much Good At It.

Apple Was Very Close To Bankruptcy And To Irrelevance [but] You Learn A Lot About Life Through Death, And I Learnt A Lot About Vital Corporations By Experiencing A Non-vital Corporation. You Would Have Thought That, When What Stands Between You And Bankruptcy Is Some Money, Your Focus Would Be On Making Some Money, But That Was Not [steve Jobs’] Preoccupation. His Observation Was That The Products Weren’t Good Enough And His Resolve Was, We Need To Make Better Products. That Stood In Stark Contrast To The Previous Attempts To Turn The Company Around.
