Do you think you 'think'!
From Steve Jobs to Satya Nadella, the landscape is full of stories inspiring to break the mold. It is easier said than done but does provide the food for thought - do we 'think' powerful enough?
The days when the dull desktop screens were the only way people thought to interact with the codes and programs, working with gray-scale patterns, there came a storm created by Steve Jobs by commodotising the 'Apps' concept and overtaking the world of personal computing with a term called 'user experience' which had very little significance earlier.
Under the leadership of Satya Nadella Microsoft has started to open up, BIG time. They have released Office suite for iOS devices, created cloud services, getting on with Mobility and providing free upgrade to Windows 10 even for the pirated versions. This again is path breaking for an organisation that despite having created some of the word's best applications (I still believe MS Excel is one the best developed tool in history) had been in the news for the creating monopoly.
Intent here is not to pass any verdict against Microsoft or trying to initiate a debate regarding ethics adopted by Apple. The point here is that however difficult it is to break the mold, path breaking seems to be the most prominent ingredient in recipes for uncommon success. What are your experiences?

8yWhen I keep myself at the same level as you have stated, I would say "it is scary." We are trying to adopt things without knowing why and just because we are desperate to adopt and stay on the race. The email is a technology survived more than 7 decades. Cloud is a technology changing faces for last 4 decades. ERP has been active since last 1250 years and computer has just changed its usability!!! All I would say is, let's not be teenagers and see beyond the thin lines. Cloud and cluster, IOT, GPRS, Google glass, RFID and so on.... it is so boring; we really need something path-breaking. Bill and Melinda Gates spend their money made from pebble business for humanitarian activities and Paul Allen spends on looking for alien life. What we are spending it on?

9yI think the digital world is opening up new disrupters all the time now. Amazing to see this in my career. Wondering where it will end...
