Sekuyiminyaka, selokhu uSteve Jobs anyamalala, obunye bobuso obamele kakhulu i-Apple kube obukaJony Ive. Lo mklami omuhle uhole indlela emikhiqizweni yenkampani cishe amashumi amathathu eminyaka., futhi sikhuluma nge-Apple ekhiphe i-iPod, i-iPhone, i-iPad, i-Apple Watch, ama-MacBooks, ama-iMac, nama-AirPod.
Ngokusobala, ingxenye enkulu yempumelelo yale mikhiqizo isuselwa ekwakhiweni kwayo, ikopishwe futhi ilingiswe cishe yibo bonke abakhiqizi ngezinga elikhulu noma elincane. Kungakho isimemezelo sokuthi uyashiya i-Apple sibe nomthelela omkhulu emhlabeni wezobuchwepheshe, kanye "nabaprofethi" abajwayelekile abaphinde bamemezele ukwehla okucacile kwenkampani. Kepha lokhu bekungeyona inkinga yezinsuku, noma amasonto, noma izinyanga. Sekuyisikhathi sokulahlwa okwenziwe ngasese iminyaka emine, futhi sikutshela imininingwane engezansi.
Kuyisisekelo ku-Apple yanamuhla
Njengoba uSteve Jobs, ongungqondongqondo owadala i-Apple wayisindisa ekuqothulweni, washona ngo-2011, baningi abathi uJony Ive ekugcineni ubenomthwalo wemikhiqizo eyethulwayo, ukuthi basebenze kanjani nokuthi bekuzoba yini umklamo wabo. Umsebenzi wakhe ngaphakathi kwenkampani wedlula indima yakhe njengomqambi, futhi imithombo yenkampani yambeka ezingeni elifanayo noTim Cook. maqondana nokwenza izinqumo ngemikhiqizo yenkampani.
Kodwa-ke, eminyakeni yamuva nje kubonakala sengathi indima kaJony Ive ibilokhu ingemuva. Konke kuqale ngokwethulwa kwe-Apple Watch ngo-2015, kusukela kulowo mzuzu ive ngiqale ukuyeka imisebenzi, ngokwalokho asitshela khona Bloomberg icaphuna imithombo esondele kakhulu enkampanini. Ukusuka ekwengameleni umsebenzi wethimba lonke nsuku zonke, ngiye ngavakashela ihhovisi lakhe kaningana ngesonto.
Ngo-2015 konke kwaqala
Cishe ngaleso sikhathi, enkulumweni abe nayo neThe New Yorker, uvumile ukuthi "ukhathele kakhulu", eqinisekisa ukuthi unyaka owandulela ukwethulwa kwe-Apple Watch ubewunzima kakhulu selokhu yafika e-Apple. Ngemuva kwalawo mazwi, abaningi baqala ukuqinisekisa ukuthi iqhaza lika-Ive enkampanini lizoqala ukungasebenzi kangako. Ezinyangeni ezintathu nje kamuva, uJony Ive waqokwa waba "yi-Chief Design Officer," washiya indima yokuphatha yamaqembu wehardware nokwakhiwa kwesoftware kubaphathi ababili, u-Alan Dye noRichard Howarth. Ngemuva kweminyaka emibili u-Ive ubuyile wazothatha ingxenye yemithwalo yemfanelo ayishiya.
Noma kunjalo ngiyaqhubeka ukuvakashela amahhovisi aseCupertino izikhathi ezimbalwa ngesonto, futhi imihlangano eminingi yayiqhutshelwa eSan Francisco ukugwema ukusuka ekhaya lakhe iye eCupertino. Kwesinye isikhathi babehlangana ngisho emakhaya abasebenzi babo, emahhotela noma kwezinye izindawo, baze babeke nehhovisi eSan Francisco lokwenza umsebenzi wabo omningi e-Apple. Lokhu “kwehlukaniswa” kwemithwalo yemfanelo yakhe e-Apple kwamenza waphuthelwa ukwethulwa kwanoma yimuphi umkhiqizo wenkampani, into engacabangeki kwenye inkathi.
Kube yinto ebisenzeka isikhathi eside. Uhlale ne-Apple cishe iminyaka engama-25, futhi kube ngumsebenzi ocindezela kakhulu ngaleso sikhathi, sekuyisikhathi sokuthi wonke umuntu akhululeke.
Futhi kusukela manje?
Ekuqaleni ngeke lube khona ushintsho olukhulu enkampanini, ngoba iqhaza lika-Ive ku-Apple eminyakeni edlule belingabalulekile kangako, ngokusho komthombo wenkampani uqinisekisa iBloomberg. Kepha ukungaqiniseki kuyaqhubeka ukwenziwa engxenyeni inkampani ebikunakekele kusukela yaqala futhi obekulokhu kuyiphawule njalo: ukwakhiwa. Manje njengoba uJony ngihambile U-Evans Hankey uzohola iqembu lokwakhiwa kwehardware. UHankey ungumholi omkhulu, kepha akayena umklami, futhi yisizathu sokuthi ukungabaza kwenziwa mayelana nendima yabo enkampanini. Uzobika ngqo kuJeff Williams, umphathi omkhulu wenkampani.
Okusatshwa abaningi ukuthi ngaphandle kwekhanda "lomklami" futhi nethimba lokuklama ngaphansi kokuqondisa kwabantu ababili "bebhizinisi" kungabekwa umgoqo ekuvuseleleni izinto ezazingekho ngaphambili. Phambilini, uJony Ive uphendule ngqo kuTim Cook, futhi phambilini ubephendula ngqo kuSteve Jobs. Bekujwayelekile ukubona laba ababili behamba bezungeza izakhiwo zenkampani bethatha izinqumo.
Ukwazi ukuthi lokhu kuphuma kuzodala ukungaqiniseki mayelana nekusasa lenkampani kanye nemikhiqizo yayo elandelayo, uTim Cook ngokwakhe ukubeke kwacaca izolo ekukhulumeni kwakhe nabezindaba ukuthi "UJony Ive ubezoqhubeka nokusebenzisana no-Apple esuka estudiyo sakhe esisha."
