Apple is one of the most prominent and recognized companies using design to differentiate their offerings, improve their customer experiences at all touch points, and grow their business through truly innovative products, services, and experiences. Known for a long time for creating easy-to-use consumer-empowering interfaces, their industrial design and engineering creates some of the most notable examples of sustainable design principles (particularly dematerialization).
Apple's notoriety around design has lead companies to try to duplicate its processes and approaches. Most, however, are finding little success without leadership that understands, values, and promotes great design from within and from the top. Unlike most companies, Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs, is involved in every aspect and detail of its product, service, and customer experience development. Without this involvement and asset, Apple's success wouldn't be duplicable.
