Apple Park cost $5 billion and took over a decade to design a build. I'd call that a lot more disruptive than experimenting with WFH.

- ghaff 6y agoBuilding a new campus on the site of an existing tech company campus in the same city you're already located doesn't seem like a particularly risky experiment even if it cost a bunch of money.
- _qulr 6y agoWhat is risk, besides time and money?
- ghaff 6y agoDisrupting the business. Which at some level translates into time and money I guess but it seems different from "We handed over a bunch of money for something that it turns out we maybe didn't need." (Though Apple has tons of leased real estate in the Bay Area so I'm pretty sure they'll continue to find plenty of use for the campus.)
- _qulr 6y agoI don't think they just handed over money though. It was said that Apple Park was a singular focus of Jony Ive. It's difficult to find something more disruptive to Apple than taking away their head of design from the focusing on customer products.
