Listen to Walt Disney’s words about technology

There’s a (not too) “hidden” Walt in the background.

Listen to Walt Disney’s words about technology…

Listening to Walt, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Technology has always existed.

What changes is our understanding of what customer’s need and want from our Company and our Company’s collective ability to find any means (often through, but not limited to, technology) to exceed the expectations.

Stumble is as stumble does

Consulting framework
A sheet of paper, three hand-drawn lines (was 6 boxes) and then brainstorm the DNA of past, present, future. The future isn’t listed on this sheet (yet).

Stumble is as stumble does.

Preparing a business proposal for a local client, an aha moment appeared.

What if two of the five time-tested Disney business blueprints were saved for the future?

Never thought of it this way until yesterday, May 10, 2019.

Son, the beauty of a relentless pursuit of excellence is that ideas never stop appearing. Some ideas are contagious and need little (or no) time to appear. Other ideas take decades.

Collaborated with our Son and a trusted colleague

Lee Cockerell highly recommends this book.

Collaborated with our Son and a trusted colleague to run a few thoughts by them before i sent an email or made a phone call to the event owner in yesterday stories over the past week.

The colleague referred to a book (photo above) Lee Cockerell highly recommends.

While i will likely never read it, there was solace provided by my colleague in his recommendation.

Basically, do not compromise on your video and audio recording are strictly prohibited.

Son, this is why working at Disney takes special people to constantly give much more than any industry standard for resolving Customer, Employee, or Vendor tensions. Not all people are able to do this generously, for a lifetime. Some are challenged to do it for a single day.

Just use what’s around you

Florida inlet from airplane
Florida inlet from airplane two days ago. Unable to identify it.
Wisdom on a napkin
Faculty member joined us at lunch and shared wisdom so profound, it was necessary to capture it.
Wisdom on a napkin
Wait, there’s more.

Just use what’s around you.

You can type on a phone.

You can write on anything.

Always carry your phone and a pen.

A dining hall napkin may be your quickest way to scribe wisdom.

It was yesterday at lunch when a stranger imparted something profound in a way i hadn’t heard before. Instinctively reached in my pocket for the GNP pen.

Walt Disney quote
Man, wish there was a deadline for solving these tech issues. PS. This is what having fun with “the impossible” looks like to me.

Four World-Class Creativity Basics: Deconstructing Disney’s Creative Genius

Description:

Working at Disney from 1982-2014, Jeff Noel learned, delivered on, and taught the operational DNA for world-class business excellence. In Jeff’s Keynote you learn that organizational creativity requires parameters, not blue-sky thinking. You’ll learn how to think inside-the-box, understand the simple 3-step creativity life-cycle, and you’ll gain clarity on your critical role as an innovative leader. You’ll never think about creativity and innovation the same way again.
