Disney’s Continuous Improvement Process

Disney Stroller — You couldn’t take Disney Strollers on the Train and the Train was the quickest way to get to the back of the Park. Huge Guest dissatisfier.

Recognize and celebrate is often the most difficult (at least for me) because as soon as something is improved or solved, there is always an immediate need to solve or improve something else clamoring for attention.

Trust your people to find the solution

Trust your people to find the solution.

Patience is a virtue.

Disney creativity experiment on LinkedIn yesterday

The text in this photo sets the context for today’s post…

Disney Creativity jeff noel — This was inspired after having taken the risk to do my first Guest PodCast appearance.

Disney creativity experiment on LinkedIn yesterday:

Sean called in less than a minute. We spoke for an hour. He asked for advice, so i gave him exactly what i did to launch my business in 2009:

1. Don’t quit your day job

Life will be hard whether you work two jobs or are desperately trying to be discovered in only one job
Having a steady income takes pressure off and buys you time to develop your dream

2. Write publicly

Don’t expect any readers (except family) and don’t try to be perfect
This refines what you truly believe in and how you want to say it

3. Live in gratitude

Try being unhappy when you’re grateful
You, like everyone else, are in a hell, coming out of a hell, or about to enter a hell know one knows about; it can’t be an excuse or crutch

4. Set a compelling deadline

Accelerates decisions
Eliminates excuses

Sean’s story humbled and inspired me.

Thinking creatively at Disney is like breathing – no thought whatsoever.

Brainstorming at Disney

LED old school alarm clock — Woke up in the middle of the night with a great idea. Snapped the photo to remind me of the “great” idea in the morning. i forgot it. It was a really good one too.

Brainstorming at Disney is focused on one thing above all others – volume. No judging or critiquing ideas while brainstorming. We can only pick from what we generate, so anything that slows or inhibits volume is prohibited.
