  • Teams assembling at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood and are given lessons in movie acting
  • Assigning team members to be directors, actors, props people, etc.
  • Teams acting in a silent movie depicting their team’s mission statement – filmed by a professional Hollywood film crew
  • 1920’s-like silent films were viewed by entire company and academy awards were presented for best actor, director, supporting actress and actor as well as best mission statement

Results

  • The company reported improvement in employee and customer retention, stronger alignment to customer service, and increased sales.
  • Teamwork becomes a part of the company’s culture.
  • Collaboration, open communication, peer coaching and accountability all improved.
  • For that year, the company exceeded sales expectations and had one of its best years ever.
