What's the key learning?

💡If you don’t reinvent yourself over and over again, you risk losing your relevance for good.

💡Microsoft has shown a pretty skilful art of transformation throughout its 40 year life span by continuously adapting its business model to stay ahead of the tech- curve. They started selling computers in 1975, pivoted its way into operating systems in 1980s, and then became a productivity behemoth Microsoft Office which was released in 1990s.

💡Just as Microsoft’s relevance began to decline around 2014, it pulled cloud computing out of its magical hat. And now, in its possibly grandest pivot, it has focused deeply on AI with its partnership with OpenAI.
