Introducing Operation CPR (continued)

at the beginning of each week (preferably Mondays at
10:00 am. or if not, at the same pre-established time
and place each week) during the six-week Celebrity
Service System Event.

     There is an emphasis on the use of symbols to create
excitement, meaning and memorability. Each employee
is given a CPR key chain at the beginning of OPERATION
CPR. There are activities related to the key chain through-
out OPERATION CPR that are explained at each session.

     Each of the training sessions is designed to be fun and
interactive. There are "Homework" and "On-the-Job

Training" activities to reinforce the opportunity to
learn from individual study and from one another.

     Sessions contain stories that explain and
reinforce the purpose of that week's emphasis,
a report from the previous week's assignment and
various ways to recognize and reward employees
for their active participation.

     These sessions are reinforced by two
newsletters, one near the halfway point and the
other at the end of the Event.

The New Millennium

     Don't go on vacation August19th. That is when
Team Boston will be presenting the New Millennium
The purpose of the New Millennium is to present
various view points of where our business will be in
five years. Should you want to learn how to prepare
for the future, don't miss the New Millennium.
Speaking of the New Millennium, trends to consider
as described by the Trend and the Kip-plinger letter
are:
Retailers Rediscover Downtown
     Overdeveloped suburbs and unstable foreign
markets will continue to force retailers to give urban
locations a second look. Pent-up demand from long-
deprived urban-ites will insure their success.
Successful redevelopment will attract more empty-
nesters and childless couples, ultimately fueling an
urban renaissance.
Techno-Toys: Messengers from the cutting edge
     Toys, games and gadgets introduce consumers to
brave new technological world. Trend implications...
For decades, the most advanced consumer-
electronics products trickled down from super-
computers used by government defense and space
agencies. Now that process is being turned upside
down. Increasingly, researchers and companies with
much at stake will introduce technological innovations
through non-threatening, user- friendly ways.

Technology is only useful and profitable when
embraced by the general population. Toys, games
and gadgets take the fear out of the unfamiliar.
