DAN HOWLEY: Satya Nadella has been Microsoft's CEO since February, 2014 and chairman of the board since 2021. Windows phone really was caught between a rock and a hard place. Maybe if he'd actually listen to the Windows fans, this could have been avoided. I'm worried about the state of the software. - Developments in Artificial Intelligence Nadella Satya can use developments in artificial intelligence to better predict consumer demand, cater to niche segments, and make better recommendation engines. What are the best Satya Nadella quotes from Hit Refresh?How do these statements succinctly capture the book's message? This was the straw that broke the camel's back and I very much doubt they'll be relevant at all, in the consumer space, in a few years time. I like the platform because it does what I need it to do. This brings us to: A huge chunk of the PC market remains on Windows XP. MS just doesn't get internationalisation, or user needs outside of the US tech bubble. I hate Apple with a passion but even I am starting to think about throwing in the towel on Microsoft. And completely abandoning the consumer market, going for business only. HP must have been working with BIG HP ENTERPRISE customers and BIG HP partners and could have "really bridged the gap"!!! People used to say that about the original Xbox, but then MS went out and paid for great games. Nonetheless, ValueAct was persistent enough to earn a seat on the Microsoft corporate board, which it will occupy next month. Threats are macro environment factors and developments that can derail business model of Nadella Satya. Articles from Britannica Encyclopedias for elementary and high school students. Thats where therolling-up-the-sleeves partbegins. "I did not get why the world needed the 'fourth' ecosystem in 'Cloud Solutions', unless we changed the rules." Not because of the content and information but mainly because its just sad. Microsoft would then always continue developing for iOS and Android, but the first party app as a matter of example, always would provide the best experience on the Windows based devices that also ran APK binaries. hits the nail on the head. FOLKS PERHAP WE WILL SEE MICROSOFT DEBUT AND SELL A MINI TABLET CELL PHONES HYBRID DEViCE. Got my first used Surface Pro 3 last year for recording music and drawing. When he took the helm in 2014, he noted a critical company weakness: Microsoft didn't know how to social. I have been Microsoft everything since the DOS days, not anymore. Sounds to me like Mocrosoft are not a company to invest in, either by buying their kit or shares. WTF??? MIcrosoft should keep W10M alive until it can upstage it to something better. Integrate the Nokia division without bloodshed. Explain me how developers could have ever been motivated to create new apps for the platform after Nadella sold the complete mobile department to Foxxconn in 2015, not making any new model since They were right to focus on the cloud and productivity. I'm a former java developer who has been swayed towards UWP and to "one software works on all devices" paradigm. - Increase in Consumer Disposable Income Nadella Satya can use the increasing disposable income to build a new business model where customers start paying progressively for using its products. If the current Windows users can use their MS stuff on either mobile platforms, they will be ok. MS its late but not completely out of race. except MSFT doesn't care about its own loyal users, with many of them switching to Android now. That's why I am sure Nadella is not making a "mistake" in his mind. No big deal. All their stated goals go out the window (pun intended) when they kill off pieces because it discredits their stated goals both internally and externally. Then they ******* kill Grove music. Strengths and Weaknesses are often restricted to company's internal - resources, skills and limitations. Not a clunky old device from work - because outside of the tech industry most people don't get shiny new laptops every 12-18months. When MS released Windows 8 (desktop) and WP 8. In the course of my day I shall speak to clients. Never the less it's not to late, Microsoft has to formally announce on a massive stage, their mea culpa for abandoning consumers and how they will work to repair all the bridges they burnt. Give me a call when you hit 51% anywhere consumer market based. no not old desktops. Great person.not a great person to push microsoft forward. all history now. I tell you. when Google and Apple are successfully marketing their own products? Apps are still an issue on windows. Europe is a 500 million people big market so I don't think that's a small market at all. Read Satya Nadella's letter to employees; . Satya Nadella. Nadella doesn't agree! I just got my android phone and my subscription to WPS office. That would harm developer interest in Windows Phone, and by extension, the larger Windows ecosystem, thus harming the still nascent Windows Store. Of course it was a mistake Nutella. According to global executive survey done by Harvard Business Review & Brightline Initiative Only 20% of the strategic targets set by organizations are realized. Just give people the option. Remember that Nokia had a huge following in the world outside of the US. He placed an intentionally greater emphasis on empathy, individual empowerment, positivity, and growth. (Like gmail instead of outlook mail and calendar). Should I take the bait yet again? He's a first grade FOOL. They left for Android. Windows is famous for still being Windows even on a low end cheap as piece of plastic. He articulated the company's mission, transformed the corporate culture, and formed strategic partnerships with Microsoft's fiercest . Its shortsighted. This is the way to go. How much have you or your company invested in Microsoft "mobile" over the last 5 years? The promise of one core finally, seemless intergaion with a mobile experience that should have been prefferable on this platform for at least first party apps along with developer interest of intergrating the same code across multiple platforms. I currently have a 950XL. Microsoft, you will have to do something really good and stick with it to get me back. I'm shocked how the Surface tablets are doing. And if I had an Xbox that would be on Craigslist tonight. They dominate in search and Android, maybe IoT, but that is questionable. So I shall party ans rock hard on with my beloved Lumia 950 XL until then at least. Office 365 revenues fail to match declining traditional Office revenues. Ive done most of the leg work already on what impact Nokia could have on Microsofts earnings, and it looked slight. I think this is one of the best options MS has if it wants to come back in the mobile space. Everyone has at least two mobile devices - phone and tablet and mostly they don't run Microsoft OS. They've prob hushed up in light of this article lol. Phones arent't he new shiney objects anymore but that doesn't mean they're not relevant. I still use Bing as my search engine on an iPhone (1520 died and instead of utilizing the only company who actually innovated with WP, MS decided to kill off the deal), I like Microsoft Edge, I use Windows 10 Pro on a PC. He learned the importance of daily gratitude from Michael Gervais and considers it . Thats not to diminish the fact that Windows Phone itself needs all the developer attention it can muster. Brazil, France, Canada, UK, India, and Thailand were the countries where more than 40% of their respective populations were using Windows phones. They simply do not respond to touch. Whether consumers are willing to buy those devices has thus far been a mixed bag. Windows 10 mobile finally intergrated with all of it's relative platforms through cloud syncing making it a hybrid of sorts between iPhone and Android, allowing an ideal environment for users to exist in a multiplatform ecosystem. Gates got it because he understood to compete in the technical arena you must cover the landscape with product. Certain apps were noticeably missing, but it remained a viable platform for many people and was even quite popular in a number of countries outside the US. Perhaps even that one will go universal app as many others . This an olive branch for the stalwarts who have been left frustrated and burnt. BS! The iphone X's facial ID has nothing to do with 950's retina scan, they have two different techs, and it's large screen was not copied from a Lumia 950XL or any lumia :)) how pathetic can you be?? The X3 is a great device and could have easily been positioned as the transitional testbed for WoA/CShell/OneCore. and the world wide carriers will be afraid to deal with Microsoft smart phones under Satya Nadella's leadership. Bill Gates will spend a portion of his time at the company assisting with product choices. While working full-time at Microsoft, Nadella also earned (1997) a masters degree in business administration from the University of Chicago. On February 4, 2014, Nadella became CEO of Microsoft, the third person to hold the office in the companys nearly 40-year history, after company cofounder Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. He took over as CEO in 2014 and has since led Microsoft through a period of significant growth and transformation. The rise was based on hopes that the underlying technology will live up to the prediction by Satya Nadella, the company's CEO, that it would "reshape pretty much every software category that we know." . EU was a good market for Windows phones, so they should have used this opportunity to build and improve this OS. And users on Android and iOS simply replace MS services with Google's and Apple's. Google and Apple worked out a long time ago that Mobile is VERY important. "People often ask how it's going," said Nadella. Encyclopaedia Britannica's editors oversee subject areas in which they have extensive knowledge, whether from years of experience gained by working on that content or via study for an advanced degree. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/there-are- Market is measured by money, not by people, otherwise India would be the most attractive market in the world, but it is not. Even IF they ship another new phone device with real windows 10 then WHY in earth should the current fan base care? Hi Bai, that's a valid point. Here are the three traits that Nadella looks for in a leader: 1) Provide clarity In times of crisis or chaos, the people who are often looked up to, are those who are able to offer clarity and. As you rightly point out, Jason, "eradicating" Windows phones and their ngegative perception was paramount to "hitting refresh". However, I also now have other devices I thought I'd look to MS to full fill. The US market was at the mercy of the phone carriers so MS, under intelligent management, would have dropped the US and focussed on Europe. Just dropped us like a hot potato. So seen in that light I think Microsoft is doing damn well by supporting us until 2019. - Superior product and services quality can help Nadella Satya to further increase its market share as the current customer are extremely loyal to it. MS has long suffered with a lack of systemic thinking - an inability to see beyond a US centric closed system. Now all you do is to carve "Microsoft was here" in someone else's tree. But to do that they better get busy. Another economic slowdown could harm business buying cycles that have been key forMicrosofts growth. Running a server in Windows Azure is already effectively Windows Server by subscription. ITS A VERY BIIIIIIIGGGGG MISTAKE!!! Satya Nadella wakes at 7 am, three hours after Apple CEO Tim Cook. Europe has 750 000 000 people, that's a bigger market than US. And while all that is going on I'm also going to invest massively in windows on arm, VR, AR, AI, cloud and everything else I think is important. Not every one of your products and services will be a cash cow. Both Google and Apple have AR that people can use right now in their pockets! WP8 was suposed to be a transtion from WP7 and shed all of the Widows Ce core code from the platform but they lost all the basic functionality of WP7. This is sucky. last updated August 12, 2020. Satya Nadella said reading a diary entry from his mom reminded him what leadership is really about. Something built on Java that would be extremely open wait. " Our ambitions are bold and so must be our desire to change and evolve our culture. MS didn't have the foresight to see that they didn't have to sell the OS to monetize it. Nadella Satya can use two approaches - building on present strengths, or analyze the trend and build processes to two pronged market penetration approach. That was the finding of a survey on corporate attitudes by Microsoft Corp ., the workplace software giant and owner of LinkedIn. One of Nadellas first major tasks was overseeing the completion of Microsofts $7.2 billion acquisition of Nokia Corp.s mobile-device business, a transaction that had been announced in 2013 despite the reservations of various Microsoft executives, one of whom reportedly was Nadella. Corrections? You won that battle because of the staple applications of Word & Excel, things people use everyday (like mobile phones of today), was a market you got into very early and stuck it out. Windowsphone was not about phone. SWOT Analysis stands for - Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats that Nadella Satya encounters both internally and in macro environment that it operates in. (I know that is sarcastic, but there is a bit of truth therein) There was no commitment to follow through. Thats Nadellas new problem. I see very very dark days ahead for Microsoft and guess what YOU DESERVE IT! The following list is a sample of the issues and challenges that Nadella may face during his tenure as CEO of Microsoft: Windows Phone growth stalls, failing to reach the 10 percent mark in the next two years. After all, I'm 'only' a consumer! They don't expect any big features. Percentages do not tell you the whole story. I am staying with my April 2017 Lumia 950XL (UK) till it no longer works. Until then we can enjoy the many new Universal apps on our superior Lumia 950 (XL) phones. I can honestly say, I would go back to my windows phone in a heartbeat if it had the same apps and a future. If people see the REALLY low cost alternative that gets them in the touch game, with the responsiveness of their smartphone, and a keyboard to flip over when they need it, a little marketing could go a long way for a device such as this. I'm a Verizon customer for 15 years, and I heard they were so mad at Microsoft, hence their later attitude towards carrying and supporting Windows phone. Sorry to tell him, to late. Silverlight, WindowsRT, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Microsoft Band, Skype (Consumer End), Windows Phone, Nokia, Windows 10 Mobile, and now Groove and we could probably read the tea leaves to see what's next. What's the issue and im genuinely asking? HoloLens? Business is going to change as these kids age. I supported MS since before windows 7 but since Nadela took over I have seen them fail to support consumers. "Well-being is one of the most important pieces of productivity management 2. He is the chief executive officer (CEO) of Microsoft, succeeding Steve Ballmer in 2014. Microsoft is in for a world of hurt regarding operating systems or app stores going forward. Threats can emerge from various factors such as - technological innovations, economic growth, increase in consumer disposable income, political developments & policy changes, and changes in consumer preferences . "First, I believe that, at its most powerful, technology can be a force for good in the world," he says. The Organizational Development solutions & strategies has helped Nadella Satya in coming up with unique solution to tap the un-catered markets. If Microsoft doesn't have a consumer precense then employees would need to keep track of two ecosystems instead of one meaning more work and complexity. I'm a 20+ year developer, and I had three different windows phones for over 6 years. I'm actually considering holding my nose and going to Apple in the hope of finding some systemic consistency. It doesn't matter which is the best (it never has, e.g. What he fails to see are the longterm effects of his short term decisions. Long time (I'm 46!) Time is Running Out, Motorola's handy Bluetooth device adds satellite messaging, Linux 6.2: The first mainstream Linux kernel for Apple M1 chips arrives, Sony's new headphones adopt WH-1000XM5 technology at a great price, The perfectly pointless $197 gadget that some people will love. If you feel that you've constantly let consumers down (which actually you have) then do something to bridge that gap. I got fed up swithed the machine to a Linux OS and got everything working again, but I haven't had a Sony product in my house ever since and I won't. It appears that Microsoft has forgotten how to be successful, please your customers. the reason i stick with windows 10 only because of photoshop. While we had blips of great service, products and attention, ultimately it came back down and we went back to finding proper solutions. All about the same. Satya cuddling with baby Zain. I upgraded the OS to Windows 10 and much of the funcuality starting dropping off because Sony chose not to up date drivers for the systems they deserted. Absolutely correct. HoloLens is cool and all but its not in consumers hands. I am confident they have something truly amazing in the pipeline (presumably 2019). . such a device would be better than what Microsoft has now . Guess which is going to win mindshare and therefore developer attention? I think the only Mobile device Microsoft could sell to the public would be a "Surface" 7 to8 inch Mini Tablet with acell phone in it's caseRunning Windows 10 on ARM withC Shell and "Continuum"such a device would run full Win32 Desktop PC programs. (qi charging, optical user authentication (iris scanner) large screen surface and excellent screen res. the penny drops at MS? Enough People would buy them for Microsoft take the time to make amd market them. 1. Hit Refresh describes how Satya Nadella brought new life to Microsoft by rediscovering its "soul" when he took over as CEO in 2014. Microsoft did the same thing. In Leadership, Organizational culture areas, the firm needs to navigate environment by building strong relationship with lobby groups and political network. So it comes to the cut from the sold apps, which is for the last year around 10 billion and then also for paying to promote your services (currently Google pays Apple 3 billions, but as it doesn't pay to itself let's say it is something like up to 10 billions). Please used all the technology you bought from Nokia.. No vision equals no company. Yea. that'll work. That's now Nadellas problem to deal with. But they weren't dropping. I definitely did not replace my MS software with Google. Microsoft would prefer more secure customers running shiny new Windows 7 or 8 boxes. When I read #HitRefresh it means kick the most loyal catagory of Windows Fans in the teeth in the mobile catagory. I'm happily moving on to other platforms. And because of e-sim technology, OneCore etc. we equip you to harness the power of disruptive innovation, at work and at home. It's that re-affirmed bias that drives most developers to target the platform with a larger base group. Of course most people don't know about or use W10 M so they will not be feeling as I do. A low cost, touch device, similar to the Surface. Do you even marketing bro? Good-bye MS. Good-bye Edge, Bing, Cortana, Groove, Office, Outlook, Photos, OneDrive, Skype, Store, etc., etc. Clearly Microsoft doesn't see it. Youi cannot preach "Windows Everywhere" and "Eco System" without looking at the profitibility of the combined effort. Apple is an amazing system for user interface . How long before Movies and TV go? Satya is just like this but on steroids. Nadella was the worst thing that could have happened to Microsoft. No doubt they are winding down Surface. 7. Not only has he failed loyal consumers multiple times, he continues to fail as a CEO in providing a true vision beyond what he wants for himself. On their mobiles. My L950 is still kicking. Instead they tried the other way around and failed. This would not be Changing The Game. Of course I don't expect any company to do that. What "unlock shareholder. The Universal Windows App system would be a great method for providing that frredom of choice if security is your primary concern then choose less apps and greater security choices. There is virtually no Microsoft presence. Windows 8.x fails to garner significant tablet market share, despite updates. But I do think it would help for microsoft to look broadly at the extensive feedback, and get the back log of insider feedback going. You lose your ability to retain talent or to recruit the best talent when futures are uncertain. Satya Nadella - Satya Narayana Nadella (; born 19 August 1967) is an engineer and Indian American business executive. Because a tech company in 2017 without a mobile presence is not a tech company worth talking about. (Hint: Thats not likely to involve spinning off Bing, which has an important role to playat the core of other products.). - Growing Protectionism - Nadella Satya should hedge the risk against growing protectionism ranging from storing data into international market to diversifying risk by operating into countries at different economic cycle. Until now Microsoft has let all their phone users down. There are plenty of third party companies that will build their own version of windows devices if they are getting support from MS but if you turn away from them now I can be pretty positive they won't be so willing to take a chance on any new developments later ( fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me). A typical day for Nadella begins with exercise and personal reflection. Where did he come from Enterprise and servers. Well, I started getting angry with Mr. Softy when they screwed over we Surface RT owners. Time to focus, man. Im not sure its possible to rationalize the existing licensing schemes for on-premises software (Windows Server, Windows desktop, Office, and all the management tools and add-ons). Me too. Now it seems like they focus on corporate software and nothing that gets in front of the average user. Certainly, I'm not qualified to see the future or manage a multinational corporation, but even with phones being a money pit, it's one of those investments that look to me like a necessity, like Bing was. I fail to see any good outcomes here. You've even way over engineered Visual Studio so much that VB & C# are no long intuitive and much more confusing to use and develop in. W10/S/ARM will allcome up short becausethewhole damCORE idea depends on UWP to move forward. In a recent report on shifting workplace attitudes, the Microsoft CEO commented that some bosses are skeptical of work-from-home culture, reports Windows Central. We as consumers are being misled by Paid Media(In India, we call them Presstitutes) regarding Microsoft. Which they were supposed to use to build the best mobile platform. In the countries where it had any market share to talk about it was gaining. And it looks to me like a huge mistake. So the future is going to be more difficult because Microsoft filed to develop a mobile OS market Comments like yours prove nothing more than you fanboys deserve every bit of crap MS is doing to you, for being to blind to act when the time was right instead kissing Nutella's @$$ and joining MS's guinea pig insider program. IBM was always focused on corporate sales (mainframes). Nearly 30 percent, to be precise. 18 Other Top Book Recommends From Satya Nadella. Besides it offers some features copied in the latest iPhone x. Why did they not keep windows 8.1 for phones going, releasing new phones on that OS instead of 950 on windows 10? I stand by that. Allow Android app developers to publish their apps in the store just like native UWP apps but wrapped up like x86 apps are with the Project Centennial bridge. I hardly read Windows Central anymore either as the notifications are ***** on Android. Apple has HomeKit, Google something similar, Alexa also interfaces with a host of other services. There are things I found on my 928 8.1 phone that my 950 W10M still cannot do? So it wasn't completely stupid as long as it was the only way to stay in the race until you figure out something better. You cannot be trusted. I generally agree with what you say but really, you're ignoring the fact that Europe has twice as many consumers as the US. Every professional is consumer but not every consumer is professional who builds, design something. Most of us have probably embraced the new ideas at the Build pep rallies only to find out 24 months later that it was nothing more than an infomercial using many of us as the foot soldiers for the revenue stream. They sat on the old Windows Mobile WAY too long with no innovation after the iPhone and Android had taken off, established their stores and ecosystems for apps. So their sole purpose was to select the highest priority ones and focus development on that. Now in many countries including Canada, either those users are still stuck on WP8 and no new devices (not even the HP Elite x3 or Lumia 950 been released yet) or they moved on to Android. Literally any effing body can do that in his position. I'm sure this was not the only factor to Windows phone being in the state it's currently in, but I think this has a lot to do with it! They should have just purchasedParallels and created a Parallels for windows phone that runs ios and android apps and we would not even be having this conversation. And you know what two years back they seemed to really start to look cool. Its one thing to drop the ball continuously, its another to refocus on Enterprise and the few customers they have with high end hardware and IoT. Market share just did not justify the expenditure for developers. This is going to cost Microsoft very dearly, and I don't think they will ever recover from this. PLEASE SET UP A "SURVEY" with both Are you upset that Satya Nadella is abandoning Windows Mobile? And theres progress in the cloud as well. Other than that, this company is doomed. It is simple and easy to interact with but Apple as whole interacts with very few things outside its own verse.
