Firstly, Steve Jobs would have a mighty job changing the culture and infrastructure of a sector that is about as adept to change as an oil tanker is to turning quickly. Secondly, in his business of innovation he has come up with new stuff that changes market perception (as you say collecting rubbish is still gonna be collecting rubbish) - he has a customer base that appreciates his company and his product - i am not sure this level of anticipation and appreciation of public services exists amongst the UK population that dominate the use of such services. Finally, Steve has commercial success that brings financial rewards and a relative freedom to make quick and sometimes radical decisions (i know we have talked about the speed of decision making in private business opposed to public sector business) - Steve would hit a brick wall on day 1 and i am sure his parting words would be something like this "dont act like you want to change when in fact you are not prepared to".<br />Lovely idea but i prefer to see this man in the private sector where he can truly flourish, pushing technology forward and generating jobs and paying high taxes into the public purse.<br />Is this a pessimistic view or am i more interested in protecting Steve Jobs from a task that would restrict the use of his abilities?
