Summary: In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a single idea within one’s mind can be the most dangerous weapon or the most valuable asset.

Remember this guy?

Yesterday I went to the MSC Leadership Talk Series 2010 where Bob Borchers was giving a talk on How Companies can Innovate like Apple. So Bob Borchers is the guy that u can see in the Introduction to iPhone videos (like the one I posted above) and probably the voice behind the first few iPhone ads (where you can see a hand holding an iPhone) . Actually Bob Borchers served as senior director of worldwide iPhone product marketing and now he’s a General Partner at Opus Capital.

During the talk Bob Borchers has shared 4 important rules of innovation that he could summarize up over  the years with other big companies like Nike, Nokia, Apple and now, Opus:-

1) Being the 1st and being the best is overrated
2) Change the rules
3) Obvious benefit
4) Once is not enough

Being the 1st and being the best is overrated

Bob said that you don’t always need to be the first in the market to be a game changer. For example, The Newton was actually the first PDA but it didn’t get much traction. It promised to do so many things but delivered non of them well. Palm on the other hand came in later, delivered less, but delivered them in a great way and, no prize for guessing it right, Palm went on the lead the PDA market until about 5 years ago.

Even iPhone too was not the first phone to have a touch screen, Internet connection, email, music playing capabilities and all, and it couldn’t do a lot of things that other phones could do. So it was not the first, neither was it the best in terms of features. But for everything that it delivered, it does it great.

Change the rules

FedEx for instance had to change and break many rules and in fact had some laws changed in order to allow them to do business. FYI there was a time when FedEx was running low on cash (during the start up) and the CEO went to Las Vegas to  gamble the money he had. The winnings was immediately wired to pay salaries to FedEx staff.

For iPhone, they changed the way people interact with phones. The rule before that was for touch screen you’ll have to use a stylus to interact with it. But the iPhone changed all that and now you can interact with your finger via multi-touch.

Obvious benefit

This rule may seem obvious, why would anyone develop something that doesn’t have any benefit. The problem with most products in the market is that the focus is mostly on the technology; how much memory it has, how fast the processor is etc. But far less on what the user can do with it. All iPhone ads do not highlight any of the technical feature.

Everything is about the user and what he/she can do with it. So forget about the technology for moment, and think how can your product benefit the users and highlight it. (It’s not how thick or thin it is, or how small or big the phone is. But it’s about how it affects your daily life and what it does to you).

Once is not enough

The fourth and final rule is that, once is not enough. You need to continue to innovate and compete with yourself. You should be your fiercest competitor. Motorola was the leader in the mobile phone market in the early 90’s. But they stopped innovating and by the end of the 90’s they were overtaken by Nokia and was left in the dust. It just proves that being innovative once is just never enough. You need to continue challenging yourself and come up with more and more innovative products. And in doing so, you must be willing to fail. And the culture at Apple is that they are so willing to try and innovate and fail at it that for every 1 product that ships out, there are probably 4 or 5 that didn’t make it.

So these are the 4 innovation rules by Bob Borchers. It was a very interesting and informative event and I wish I will have more of this kind of opportunity in the future. Oh yeah, thanks to my boss for inviting.

ps: Personally I think those 4 rules of innovation do concern the way you do your work (inside or outside the business world) and it can actually be applied in your personal life.

That’s all for now. Happy innovating!

العربية) ماهر زين – ان شاء الله )

لو في يوم كان الحمل عليك ثقيل

وتايه لوحدك مش لاقي دليل

والهموم تخلي الليل طويل

وترميك في غربة ومرارة وويل

مد إيديك تلقاه دايما حواليك

هو الله قبلك حاسس بك

إن شاء الله

حتلاقي الطريق

لو في يوم خذتنا معاصي أو ذنوب

وخافت قلوبنا ما تقدر تتوب

وتشكي الروح ومين بالسر ليه تبوح

ومين لي يقدر يداوي الجروح

مد إيديك تلقاه دايما حواليك

هو الله قبلك حاسس بك

إن شاء الله

حتلاقي الطريق

قول ياالله ده عنك مش بعيد

ماتشلش هم ولا تشعر بضيق

قول يالله اهدي ليا قلبي عشان اتوب

امحي الذنوب واهديلي الطريق نور لي الطريق

إن شاء الله حتلاقي الطريق
