Satya Nadella on Empowering Every Person on the Planet

by JD Meier

It’s great to get back to the basics, and purpose is always a powerful starting point.

I was listening to Satya Nadella’s keynote at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, and I like how he walked through the Microsoft mission in a mobile-first, cloud-first world.

Here’s what Satya had to say:

“Our mission:  Empowering every person and every business on the planet to achieve more.

(We find that by going back into our history and re-discovering that core sense of purpose, that soul … a PC in every home, democratizing client/server computing.)

We move forward to a Mobile-First, Cloud-First world.

We care about empowerment.

There is no other ecosystem that is primarily, and solely, built to help customers achieve greatness.

We are focused on helping our customers achieve greatness through digital technology.

We care about both individuals and organizations.  That intersection of people and organizations is the cornerstone of what we represent as excellence.

We are a global company.  We want to make sure that the power of technology reaches every country, every vertical, every organization, irrespective of size.

There will be many goals.

What remains constant is this sense of purpose, the reason why this ecosystem exists.

This is a mission that we go and exercise in a Mobile-First, Cloud-First world.”

If I think back to why I originally joined Microsoft, it was to empower every person on the planet to achieve more.

And the cloud is one powerful enabler.
