Once Upon a Time in Disney Business Chain of Excellence (prologue)

In a world full of cookie cutters, Walt Disney was a craftsman.

Leaders impact the employee experience; employees impact the customer experience; customers affect the financial experience; creativity is the DNA for continuous improvement at every stage.

Disney’s Business Chain of Excellence: Leaders -> Employees -> Customers -> Business Loyalty -> Creativity & Innovation.
