“Deliver a winning user experience”: Without an explanation of why we hadn’t been able to do that so far, how we could change course, and why we would be able to do things differently in the future, this was just an item on a wish list.”

“Providing a good user experience meant increasing numbers of users. More users meant more buyers for third-party software, which meant strong revenues for the developers, making it attractive for more and more developers. More developers meant more apps, and more apps made the devices more attractive for users, leading to further growth in the ecosystem for all participants. Once the virtuous circle starts, it is very difficult for competitors to get it to turn in the other direction. Nokia could not compete.”

“I believe you can create your own luck. By doing the right things, you definitely shift the probability curve in your favor. Identify your alternative futures and exercise scenario-based thinking. Think about the everyday actions you can take to increase the likelihood that things will tilt your way and decrease the probability of a scenario in which there’s a negative outcome.”
