Spaces remain for Disney seminar
     Disney is bringing its unique brand of magic to the business
community in Delaware in November with an exclusive one-day
presentation, "The Disney Keys to Service Excellence." Space is still
available for this presentation, which will focus on management and
service-Disney style. Presented by Disney University Professional
Development Programs, the program will begin at 7 a.m., Wednesday,
Nov. 1, in Clayton Hall.
     "Management, Disney Style" provides insight into the elements of
selection, training, communication and care that make up the Disney
corporate culture.
     "Service, Disney Style" explains what it takes to provide the
level of service that distinguishes a successful business from an
industry leader. It's the inside story of service strategies developed
at the Walt Disney World Resort.
     Showcasing how Disney's unique style of management and service
can be adopted in others organizations is a key part of the program.
As the program unfolds, participants realize that Disney strategies
really can be used in their workplace, regardless of the type of
industry or size of organization. Inspired by Disney's success,
participants leave the program armed with ideas for turning theory
into action in their organizations.
     Fee for "The Disney Keys to Service Excellence" is $175 per
participant ($150 for members, affiliates and employees of sponsoring
organizations).
