It highlights WhatsApp's focus on its 400 million users and commitment to them after being acquired by Facebook in 2014.
How Steve Jobs Launched a Billion Dollar Lean Startup: The Lean Business Mode...Rod King, Ph.D.
Gartner's prediction that 80% of gamification projects would fail within a year is often quoted to validate the risks inherent in planned gamification projects. Technically, a gamification project is a "lean startup" because in a typical gamification project, an innovative product or service is being created under conditions of great uncertainty. And as we know, the failure rate of innovation projects is very high.
The late Steve Jobs of Apple had extreme success with launching "lean startup" projects. How did Steve Jobs consistently do it?
The presentation below shows a gameboard that illustrates the process of how Steve Jobs launched the "Billion Dollar" lean startup project of the iPod. Hopefully, the presentation will inspire and help entrepreneurs to reduce the high failure risk that is currently associated with gamification projects.

Startups face an inherent challenge. Changing the world requires growth and scale. Yet growth has the potential to strip any company of the magic, culture and nimbleness that made it successful in the first place.
In 2013, my LinkedIn Talent Solutions team rallied around the idea of becoming something unique: a “Billion Dollar Startup.” Our goal was to become a multi-billion dollar business that stayed true to our startup roots without falling prey to slowness, cautiousness, rigidity, inertia… all the things that we despise.
Last week at our annual kickoff, we launched this Billion Dollar Startup playbook, which highlights the challenges that plague growing companies, and offers nine rules that can help your team navigate this phase of growth.
This is a work in progress. Feedback welcome.

The reason is the evolving needs of the Millennial consumer and a new generation of business models delivering a better Shared Experience. Find out what this consumer wants and how that's driving the Sharing Economy in this new presentation:
Internet of Things (IoT) - We Are at the Tip of An IcebergDr. Mazlan Abbas
You are likely benefitting from The Internet of Things (IoT) today, whether or not you’re familiar with the term. If your phone automatically connects to your car radio, or if you have a smartwatch counting your steps, congratulations! You have adopted one small piece of a very large IoT pie, even if you haven't adopted the name yet.
IoT may sound like a business buzzword, but in reality, it’s a real technological revolution that will impact everything we do. It's the next IT Tsunami of new possibility that is destined to change the face of technology, as we know it. IoT is the interconnectivity between things using wireless communication technology (each with their own unique identifiers) to connect objects, locations, animals, or people to the Internet, thus allowing for the direct transmission of and seamless sharing of data.
IoT represents a massive wave of technical innovation. Highly valuable companies will be built and new ecosystems will emerge from bridging the offline world with the online into one gigantic new network. Our limited understanding of the possibilities hinders our ability to see future applications for any new technology. Mainstream adoption of desktop computers and the Internet didn’t take hold until they became affordable and usable. When that occurred, fantastic and creative new innovation ensued. We are on the cusp of that tipping point with the Internet of Things.
IoT matters because it will create new industries, new companies, new jobs, and new economic growth. It will transform existing segments of our economy: retail, farming, industrial, logistics, cities, and the environment. It will turn your smartphone into the command center for the both digital and physical objects in your life. You will live and work smarter, not harder – and what we are seeing now is only the tip of the iceberg.
What apps people are downloading is an important metric if you want to know what's going on in the world. Facebook experienced a more than 25% decline in 2022, TikTok continued to dominate, and CapCut, a formerly obscure video editing application, entered the top four most downloaded apps globally. It's hardly surprising that it's created by TikTok's parent firm and that influencers prefer to use it to make, you guessed it, TikTok videos.
