Slices of Apple episode 11: Making it great

slices of apple



Slices of Apple is a documentary series exploring the success of Apple as a company. It seeks to educate business leaders, entrepreneurs and laypeople about how Apple keeps delivering consistently great products

In this episode of Slices of Apple, I'm talking to Matt Drance, a developer who worked at Apple as an evangelist and in developer support. He discusses the culture of excellence at Apple, how goals and capabilities play into decision-making and how management facilitated excellence. Matt currently keeps a blog at AppleOutsider.com, and continues to develop software.

Keep an ear out for a great little story about Dashcode, as a case study on when Apple says "no" to things that aren't good enough, but will revisit when ready.
