I was recently reminded of a great summary from the ZA Tech Show of how Steve Jobs saved Apple inc.
When Jobs took over the mid-90s the Apple’s product development was out of control. They were not scoping products properly and had dozens of unwanted products in multiple versions and models.
Job’s killed off duff projects (.i.e. those not brining in the money) and implemented insane quality controls.
The result was runaway success of massively reduced but extremel high quality core product line they have today.
