He said the future of marketing is “Meta,” meaning it merges the offline and online. The AMF founder cited his time in Disneyland’s “Frozen” attraction, which used technology to simulate its make-believe world convincingly.
More importantly, he emphasized that businesses could become “new suns” with “operational excellence.”
“If you’re not good in operations, you die. Operational excellence is at the center of any business.”
“Technology and human resources must be blended in operational excellence,” he stated. However, businesses must balance them.
Relying heavily on technology could make a business “too robotic.” On the other hand, a company could lose to competition by being “too human.”
