September 2016. i, and every other Cast Member learned this (me in 1982) in Disney Traditions.

If Creativity and Innovation, Disney Style, doesn’t make perfect sense, nothing i say will matter

When you believe in something all the way, no convincing is necessary. When you don’t, no amount of convincing will be enough.

If what Disney Creativity and Innovation does, how we do it, and why we do it doesn’t make perfect sense, no amount of my content will ever be enough to convince you.

The good news?

It’s not worth it for either of us to convince the other of anything different.

There’s irrefutable evidence in the form of historical Customer and Employee loyalty that needs no defense.

That said, may you and your business endeavors bring you the personal vibrancy and organizational vibrancy every great leader dreams of.

Ps. In the off chance, you’re feeling compelled to take a risk, the worst that will happen is you’ll have lost an hour of your life to “what might have been.”

An hour.

Two 30-minute “The Office” reruns. Almost makes the chance seem worth it, no?

The Why of Disney Creativity and Innovation

Why does Disney focus on continuously improving it’s products and expanding it’s offerings?

Here’s how easy the answer is; if you could only pick one of these three, which would you pick?

  1. Stay with the industry pack.
  2. Lead the category.
  3. Become the category.

Sometimes, the answer is that obvious.

Disney Creativity and Innovation Beliefs

Disney Creativity and Innovation Beliefs

At Disney, we do our best work when we have a clearly defined box and then think “inside-the-box.”

We think in terms of expanding our box rather than calling it thinking “outside-the-box”.

We fundamentally believe everyone is creative.

We must separate our personal identity from our idea.

Brainstorming is focused on idea quantity, not quality.

Great ideas can, and should, come from anywhere.

Invite people outside your industry to your brainstorming meetings.

Creativity, by itself, is useless.

Creativity is the generation of useful ideas in any domain.

Innovation is the implementation of a useful idea.

Quote and tagline. Who writes seven Disney Business Books? And does it on an iPhone. And, from Walt Disney World. Who?

What this Disney Creativity and Innovation Book will do:

It will offer a simple fix: however, it will not provide an easy fix.

It will intrigue, rather than entertain, you.

It will reveal Disney’s Creativity and Innovation cultural architecture.

It will answer, “where do we start” by providing Disney’s Creativity and Innovation cultural blueprints.

What this Disney Creativity & Innovation Book will not do:

It will not offer an easy fix; however, it does provide a simple fix.

It will not entertain you.

It will not hold your hand.

It will not answer all your questions.
