The Power of Simplicity: Apple's Secret Weapon
When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, the company was 90 days from bankruptcy. Within fourteen years, it became the world's most valuable company. This remarkable transformation wasn't driven by innovative products alone - it was powered by an obsession with Simplicity that permeated every aspect of the business. Why do Apple products feel so intuitive while competitors struggle with complexity? The answer lies in what Ken Segall calls "the Simple Stick" - a philosophy that became Apple's guiding principle and secret weapon. This approach isn't just about minimalist design; it's about a relentless focus on what matters most, eliminating everything else, and creating experiences that feel natural and human. The beauty of this approach is that it isn't exclusive to Apple - it's a universal human preference that any business can harness, which explains why "Insanely Simple" has become required reading in business schools worldwide and why executives from various industries, including Elon Musk, have referenced its principles.
