This article sums up the path we’ve taken in redesigning our software interface. To manage expectations - imagine the yellow brick road. We’ve just met the scarecrow.
I’m really excited to be part of the UI project. It’s sure to be a game changer.
Vision is what you see with your inspiration’s eye
The filmmaker Walt Disney died six years before the opening of the first Disney World. At the opening ceremonies, two Disney executives were sitting together.
One said: “Too bad Walt couldn’t have been here to see this.”
The other replied: “You’re wrong. Walt did see it. That’s why it’s here.”
Moral:
Vision is what you see with your inspiration’s eye.

I wanted to send a note mentioning how helpful Kelly Witherspoon has been in our rollout of Centerbridge. Specifically over the last week I have gone to Kelly with multiple questions concerning the variance between our current staffing model and Centerbridge. Last week we had go-to meetings 3 days in row and exchanged emails throughout the day. Although I am sure he has answered some of the same questions several times over the last ~6 months, he has always been prompt in his follow-ups, succinct in his answers, and offered to discuss it with a go to meeting (which is generally unnecessary as his answers are enough the first time). It is this type of service that will expedite our understanding of Centerbridge and how we can fully utilize it here at COMPANY X. A huge thanks goes to Kelly for the great service he has offered.

This is how they advertised Lego with girls in 1981.
Wouldn’t it be nice if companies still marketed to girls like this?
