“Excellence” can sum up Ken’s long (15 years) career at Apple. This inspiring presentation introduces his “Seven Essential Elements” for doing great work: inspiration, collaboration, craft, diligence, decisiveness, taste, and empathy. Ken shares how to combine these elements to form “molecules” that help us achieve better, and more meaningful results, on a daily basis. 

As one of only twenty-five inventors listed by Apple on the “iPhone Patent”, Ken gives a first-person view into the secretive world of Apple, shares stories about the struggles and successes that went into the developing the touchscreen computing system we now take for granted, and gives insight into why Apple products like the iPhone turn out as well as they do. “iPhone Stories” is a from-the-trenches view of how innovation happens, and can serve as inspiration to individuals, groups, and companies who seek to do great work of their own. 

Drawing from his fifteen years of experience building great products at Apple and the Wall Street Journal bestselling book Creative Selection: Inside Apple’s Design Process During the Golden Age of Steve Jobs, Ken describes concepts like the “Seven Essential Elements” of creative and technical work, and the “Design Is How It Works” philosophy that drove Apple's product development. Through stories and examples taken from inside the product development labs and design studios at Apple, Ken shows how people, teams, and businesses can apply the lessons he learned working at one of the world’s most innovative companies
