A school dropout looking for something to do, Steve Jobs decided to join a Calligraphy course. He noticed how computer screens were very dull, basic and just fixed in terms of display.

Once Jobs started to implement beautiful fonts and typologies on computer screens, Apple spawned a new industry; the desktop publishing industry! 2. Business Insider Article 'Here's What Steve Jobs Had To Say About The Fiction That Having 'Great Ideas' Is 90% Of The Work' The article found on Business Insider and published in March 2014 by Henry Blodget reads, "That's how you create great products, Jobs says. Not by having "great ideas." By having a basic idea and then working your butt off through trial and error until the product finally evolves from okay to great." http://www.businessinsider.com/steve-jobs-ideas-2014-3 3. How To Simulate Innovation Like Steve Jobs did First things first, don't get stuck in tradition! We believe at Khemeia, in order to innovation you have to challenge traditions, push boundaries and dare to be different Take interest in other respective fields and industries in order to draw inspiration. Research into why other industries are successful, then network with others within your own company and industry in order gain feedback on your innovative ideas. The design of Apple products were inspired by Steve Jobs when he was in a car parking lot. His inquisitiveness about the way a car body was designed and how the different panels / materials fit together, led him to revolutionise the design of products ever since. Don't be afraid to try new things! Be inquisitive like Steve Jobs. At The Sharp End presented by Khemeia Consulting - where we believe innovation is the key to business growth. #AtTheSharpEnd
