Literally every Disney Institute Program ends like this

Disney Institute Keynote Speakers
There are a “million of these” kinds of photos.

 

Literally every Disney Institute Program ends like this (above), but after awhile, you stop taking selfies with Mickey every time.

Even though you could.

What’s our commitment as we age?

Walt Disney World horizon
i remember when Spaceship Earth was the only image rising out of this horizon. Almost invisible (lower middle), Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Vacation Club Villas (Copper Creek) on Bay Lake’s shore.

 

Walt Disney World horizon
The Swan and Dolphin Resorts didn’t grace the right horizon until 1989.

 

As we age, what happens to our commitment to remain vibrantly healthy?

For starters, do we see food as fuel or comfort?

The 19 cultural blueprints for corporate architecture for business excellence

Disney keynote speaker
Disney’s success all started from a little Mouse.

The 19 cultural blueprints for corporate architecture for business excellence.

LEADERS (blueprints, site prep, foundation)
1. (Vision) a clear, concise, compelling vision
2. (Involvement) Create your tool box with at least 100 easy to implement developmental ideas
3. (Accountability) Develop your tool kit with your top three priorities for each: Employees, Customers, Business PLUS: Technical, Managerial, Behavioral.
4. (Commitment) Short list (7 or less) of internal leadership (and employee) values, with concise definition and sample behaviors.

EMPLOYEES (shell, walls, roof)
5. (History) Full-blown founder’s story capturing the organizational DNA (and an historian identified)
6. (Customs) Long list of company heritage as well as traditions (ongoing historical management)
7. (Icons) Comprehensive guide to corporate language, symbols, phrases, tag lines, etc (ongoing historical mgmt)
8. (Values) Categorize unique traits & behaviors your culture is famous for.
EMPLOYEES: Deep and broad integration with your 4 HR practices: Hire, Train, Inspire, Value.

CUSTOMERS (floor plans, doors, windows, walls, stairs, closets, etc)
9. (The Buyllseye) Identify and define your quintessential service goal. Then embed it in your organization’s DNA
10. (360 Analysis) Exhaustive lists of Needs, Wants, Stereotypes (+-), Emotions (+-); this will fuel scalable ways to hit your bullseye all day, every day.
11. (Unifying goal) redress your vision statement in a pair of overalls and march it to the front line. This is your battle-cry, the reason you exist. This one blueprint is the most important tool for harvesting your work force’s discretionary effort.
12. (Decision Tree) Create your prioritized corporate decision making matrix based on your non-negotiable, famous for, and business need.

REPUTATION (Exterior style & landscaping)
13. (Your promise) This one’s easy, it’s your unifying goal.
14. (Delivering your promise) process map every customer (and employee) touch point and create exhaustive lists for delivering your quintessential service goal at every touchpoint, all day, every day.
15. (Connecting Emotionally) Create organizationally unique employee framework (your Company’s Customer Service blueprints) to allow for initial and ongoing training and development.

IMPROVE (functionality – plumbing, electric, hvac, lighting, etc)
16. (Generate Ideas) Build your corporate box and think inside it.
17. (Select ideas) Use process mapping, 360 analysis, financials, surveys, etc
18. (Implement ideas) Develop a corporate framework for Continuous improvement (CIP); a literal six sigma for dummies.
19. (Leader’s Role) Create environment where great ideas have no choice but to flourish. Everyone is creative, your ideas are separate from your identity, “yes, and”.

Each day Disney’s goal is the same

Disney wellness speaker
Each day Disney’s goal is the same. Disney wants the entire 40+ square mile property to be spotless.

 

If we thought like Disney – daily world-class excellence – what would change in our daily health habits?

Creative bicycle ride through Walt Disney World before school

Disney University Speakers
Yesterday’s 26k bike ride, first stop.

 

Disney University Speakers
Inside for a drink of water.

 

Disney Customer Service Speakers
Pam and Doug Lipp, who i met the day prior in Naperville, IL.

 

Biking through Disney World
From Disney’s Contemporary Resort (my first role in Resort operations) looking across to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, our Flagship, where i spent 6 years.

 

Disney Golf
Monorail entering Grand Canyon Concourse.

 

Disney Water Bridge
Holding my breath while i go under water.

 

Disney's Tri-Circle D Ranch
My first role as a permanent Cast Member (not counting college program Jungle Cruise in 1982) was River Country Lifeguard in September 1984, which is to the left (out of view).

 

Disney Customer Service Speakers
An “i was here” shot at 730am yesterday.

 

Disney University Speakers
Doug Lipp wrote, “Disney U”.

 

Four Seasons at Disney World
Heading East and then North to complete the loop from our home.

 

Having six teacher conferences from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM nullified yesterday’s three-hour workout investment.

Workouts have to happen in the morning because the sun is too intense after 9AM.

The creative solution was to skip only the gym workout.

This allowed for a creative 26k bike ride loop through Walt Disney World.

Leisurely.

Photo stops.

Reflection.

Enough time for a rinse in the pool and off to school.
