J Allard's Advice to Microsoft
So Xbox boss J Allard is on his way from Microsoft. But he's left some parting advice for the company he's loved for years.
"Find a college student that claims we don't get it and blogs tirelessly about our lack of agility Track down an EE that has been focusing on fuel cells and has radical thoughts about power management. Or a social networking whiz who is tired of building little islands that go hot and cold and can't break the mainstream."
"Hire a designer who's given shape to 2 decades of beautiful automobiles and thinks we can sculpt technology to better connect to users. Infuse them with our purpose. Give them the tools. Give them lots of rope. Learn from them. Support where they take you. Invite them to redefine The Tribe."
He forgot to add, don't design a new console that will break down all the time.
