There is nothing more important task than to find out:
“what user-experiences the customer looks for, values, and needs”.
Everyone knows this, but this isn’t easy task.
![Page 5: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Instead, many companies give an ear to the industry’s influencers, and oversee compeItors, apart from their target customers.

Curious to say, influencers provide the vision of the newly defined product category for their customers, the consumer products companies.
(*) examples of influencers
![Page 8: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Actually, many influencers have global markeIng plaLorms to survey their customers’ potenIal market.
![Page 9: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Problem is that the influencers’ happiness doesn’t correspond the companies’ happiness.
![Page 10: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The influencers’ happiness is to spur an intense compeIIon in their customers’ market because such compeIIon brings them huge revenue.
Everybody Netbook!(with Wintel !!!)

The influencers elegantly lead their customers into a intense compeIIon.
![Page 12: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The compeIIon makes the influencers’ hearts sing, while the companies’ hearts be exhausted.

It’s Ime to re-‐think.

Many companies start from products. They improve exisIng products and make the spec table beRer one.
Sometimes they create a new segment.

Sometimes they create a new market.
Fewer companies start from people. They innovate new user experiences and make the people’s life beRer one.

My focus here is clearly on the laRer case, “start from people”
*Lots of theories, practices, consulting services are available for the former case, such as theory of competition, product management practices, social media marketing, etc.

True markeIng says, “These are the user-experiences the customer looks for, values, and needs.”
True marketing says, “These are satisfactions the customer looks for, values, and needs.”

To find out ”the user-experiences” is the starIng line for new product planning, however,

You can’t go out and ask people, you know, what the next big thing.
– Steve Jobs “Steve Jobs speaks out”, CNN Money, Aug/03/2008
![Page 21: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
[This product is “Innova5ve”] means that the product brings far be;er user-‐experience to the target customers.
![Page 22: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
user-experience
time
Discontinuity
Conventional Products
Innovative Product
In other words, there must be discon5nuity between the trajectory of convenIonal products and an innovaIve product in terms of “user-‐experience”.
Conventional trajectory(incremental improvement)
New trajectory
![Page 23: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What ordinary people can imagine is limited to incremental improvement of exisIng products, their imaginaIon can’t beyond this disconInuity.

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said “faster horses”

(Around 2000,) We did market survey about the demand for camera-phone, not once, four times. Every time the results showed negative. However, nowadays, camera-phone became standard.
– A comment from a marketing director (Martin Cooper’s Keynote Speech at IEEE Wescon 2005)
![Page 26: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
It’s really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it(*) to them.
– Steve Jobs
(*) From the context, “it” doesn’t mean prototype, “it” means finished product such as shown at Apple’s conference.

It’s us who have to answer the quesIon: “what the next big thing”
![Page 28: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Both Honda-san(*) and I had never started productdevelopment from technological point of view.The first and foremost priority was our goal what product we really wanted to make.

The idea for the Walkman had come from Ibuka, who was over 70 years old, and Morita(*), himself approaching 60 enthusiastically supported it. Not content to rest on their laurels, both kept looking for new ideas and strove to understand what kind of products would meet the lifestyle needs of young people.

"It was very nearly fetishistic, in fact – he even had a collection of Sony letterhead and marketing materials," laughs Deutschman(*). "Sony was a company that Jobs instinctively admired and saw as model from the very beginning.”

Steve Jobs simply described Ibuka’s way:
![Page 32: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
We figure out what we want. And I think we're pretty good at having the right discipline to think through whether a lot of other people are going to want it, too. That's what we get paid to do.
– Steve JobsCNN Money, Aug/03/2008
![Page 33: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Once we reach a strong confidence that “a lot of other people are going to want it, too”, then most barriers which prevent us from innovaIon are removed.
![Page 34: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
You may have heard the following sentences.

“I requested engineering team to implement that feature, but they said it was too difficult and too risky to do it. So, we had to abandon it. However, our compeMtor could do it and we are in for it now. Stupid engineering team!”
Marketers

“I asked markeMng guys how criMcal to implement that feature for our business. But they didn’t show any compelling explanaMons. So, we had to make it lower-‐priority task. Otherwise, we could do it! Our markeMng team doesn’t work at all”

Before iPhone, most manufacturers believed that it was impossible to implement full-‐web browser on mobile handset.
![Page 38: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
But just less than one year a^er iPhone, many manufacturers released mobile handsets with full-‐web browser.
![Page 39: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What does all this mean?
![Page 40: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
We see a lot of similar stories in our history:
Transister Radio, Home VTR, Walkman, Personal Computer, Megapixel Digital Camera, Full-‐flat CRT, Large format LCD, Boradband, Tablet PC, … etc.

Barriers against an innovaIon are not so high if we share a strong confidence that “a lot of other people are going to want it, too”.
![Page 43: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
This confidence fires up us to realize far better user-experiences, innovative products, no matter how high the barrier may be.
![Page 44: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
You know, potenIal ability of engineering is much higher than we expect and engineers can be more flexible if they share the confidence.
![Page 45: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
MarkeIng, sales, logisIcs, legal, producIon, PR, IP, HR, or top managements, in whatever secIons, persons in charge can be more passionate and creaIve if they share the confidence.
![Page 46: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The missing piece for innovaIon is the strong confidence that ”a lot of other people are going to want it, too”.
![Page 47: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The key to get strong confidence is the ability to understand and share the feelings of target customers, that is, “Empathy”.

It's in Apple's DNA. The technology alone is not enough. That is technology married with the liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our hearts sing.
– Steve Jobs
Keynote speech, Mar/2011, from Apple.com
![Page 50: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
This sentence explains about the advantage of Apple’s products, but it doesn’t explain why they can create such aRracIve products.
![Page 51: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
The quesIon I’d like to ask here is:
“How to create such a`racMve products?”
![Page 52: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The answer must be very basic and obvious.
![Page 53: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Apple has strong confidence that she gets what the customers want to buy.
![Page 54: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Apple is always striving to find out:
“what user-experiences the customer looks for, values, and needs”.
![Page 55: "Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product Planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0df174a7959e7698b4623/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Apple spends enough Ime for this task.

The greatest praise an innovation can receive is for people say,
"This is obvious. Why didn't I think of it?"
– Peter. F. Drucker

Looking back from today:
The demands for iPod & iTune Store was obvious around 1999.
The demands for “Breakthrough internet communicator(*)” was obvious around 2005.
The demands for “big iPhone” was obvious around 2008.

It may sound paradoxical, but Steve Jobs says:
“We do no market research. We don’t hire consultants.”
