What would be your first thought if this were the opening screen for a demo you were invited to see? How would it set the tone for the rest of the presentation?
In the meantime, Michael Lamoureux sent me the following post by Reza Shah Mohammadi with the corresponding video of Steve Jobs. Be sure to watch the Jobs video:
Reza Shah Mohammadi Post
Stop thinking that you can succeed by starting with technology and then figuring out how to market it.
In this legendary clip, Steve Jobs addresses one of the core truths that has driven Apple’s success: You have to start with the customer experience and work backward to the technology. Too many businesses do the opposite, leading to products that don’t solve real customer problems.
💡 Takeaways from Jobs’ Philosophy:
a) Customer-First Approach: Build your strategy around delivering real value to customers, not just focusing on the cool technology you have.
b) Embrace Mistakes: Failure is inevitable when you’re pushing boundaries—but the key is making decisions, learning from mistakes, and moving forward.
c) Focus on the Bigger Vision: Technology should serve a greater vision that drives meaningful impact, growth, and long-term success.
🔑 The secret? Innovate from the customer’s needs, not just your technological capabilities.
Let’s remember to build products that people want, not just products we think are cool. Kudos to all the teams out there burning the midnight oil to create the next big thing—stick to the customer-first mindset, and you’ll get there.
