Jensen Huang: I don’t need to change the world overnight “Having a simple idea that you can execute perfectly is sometimes better than having a grandiose idea that your company can’t execute on.” Jensen reflects on how he’s constantly bombarded with ideas and feature requests from customers and engineers at Nvidia. But he believes it’s prudent to keep things simple. As he puts it: “I don’t need to change the world overnight; I’m going to change the world over the next 50 years. I don’t need to build a killer product overnight; I just need to build a winning product. And the goal of winning is so that you can play again. It’s just like pinball… Most companies need to realize that it is a long road and you can’t build that perfect product [overnight].” He continues: “Once you do that and keep the project’s scope confined — you have a long-term vision but your product definition is rather simple — your people can now execute flawlessly on a simple plan. Then you come back and do it again.” Source: @Stanford (Jan 2003)
