Steve Jobs,

00:00:05

the oracle of technology,

00:00:06

stood before a whiteboard.

00:00:09

Legend has it that before revolutionizing the world with the iPhone,

00:00:13

he indulged in strategic introspection,

00:00:15

the SWOT analysis.

00:00:18

S for strengths.

00:00:20

What are our strengths?

00:00:21

We have an unparalleled team of creative engineers,

00:00:24

a strong brand identity,

00:00:26

and an ability to create intuitive user interfaces.

00:00:30

W for weaknesses and our weaknesses,

00:00:34

but we are novices in the telecommunications sector

00:00:37

and people are attached to their physical keyboards.

00:00:41

Oh,

00:00:41

for opportunities,

00:00:43

the market is saturated with complicated and impersonal phones.

00:00:47

We can bring aesthetics and simplicity.

00:00:50

T for threats.

00:00:52

The telecommunications giants won't let us easily enter their arena.

00:00:56

And what about potential patent problems?

00:00:59

Looking at the SWOT matrix,

00:01:01

Steve felt a spark.

00:01:03

The vision of the iPhone began to take shape in his mind,

00:01:06

a sleek device,

00:01:07

a revolutionary touch screen interface,

00:01:10

and unprecedented access to the internet in one's pocket.

00:01:14

It was a leap into the unknown,

00:01:16

uncharted territory.

00:01:18

However,

00:01:19

the opportunities excited him,

00:01:21

the potential to create something extraordinary was irresistible.

00:01:26

Suddenly he smiled.

00:01:28

He knew that Apple's strengths were sufficient

00:01:30

to overcome obstacles and surpass weaknesses.

00:01:33

He knew which challenges to be vigilant about

00:01:36

and which talents and opportunities to rely

00:01:38

on to meet this new innovation challenge.

00:01:41

The swat had enlightened him,

00:01:43

serving his intuition and not the other way round.

00:01:47

With him,

00:01:48

intuition always had the last word.

00:01:50

But he used reason and tools like the swat to go further and maintain the

00:01:55

necessary realism that transforms ideas germinating in the

00:01:58

head into products that flood the market.

00:02:02

He visualized people queuing up,

00:02:04

eager to get their hands on this technological gem.

00:02:07

He gathered his team and shared his bold vision.

00:02:11

The rest belongs to history.
