Did Steve Jobs Debunk What We’ve Been Taught About Leading A Creative Product Development Firm?

  
  
  
Jobs and Product Innovation Organization

In the last few years, and especially the last few days, we’ve all read a lot about Steve Jobs. But most of what has been written (according to my unscientific review) is about what Steve did, not how he did it. Those things written about the “how” usually focus on strategy: the use of disruptive design, ecosystems as opposed to stand-alone products, and strategic sources of supply. But what about the every day how? Steve walked in the front door of 1 Infinite Loop each day for the last 15 years. What did he do when he got inside? What did he say? To whom? How did he lead?

Netflix Streaming: A Disruptive Innovation That's Disrupting Netflix

  
  
  

Will its second disruptive product be as successful as its first?

Netflix is a great example of disruptive innovation. Its DVD-by-mail model turned the video rental business on its head and helped push an industry titan, Blockbuster, into bankruptcy. As a start-up and outsider, Netflix was able to see that Blockbuster underserved many users. In response, Netflix created a business that offered more affordability, accessiblity and availability to these under-served customers (read more about this model for developing disruptive products and innovations).
