I'm a big fan of the Marriott, only because of the Innovation and the willingness to take that innovation and make it work... here's another example.... We hold a lot of company conferences here at Marriott - like the recent gathering of our 800 JW Marriott, Marriott and Renaissance general managers. That's because we want to make sure our associates are informed about all the innovative initiatives we're launching... Typically, people who attend a conference come home with suitcases full of paper. This time, we wanted to reduce the paper chase and come close to having a paperless conference. So everyone who attended received iPods. . . It's a great way to save trees, but it's also an innovative way to promote our plans for our brands, like the rollout of high definition TV and what we're calling the "connectivity panel". You can see them both in all our U.S. and Canadian full service hotel rooms by the end of 2009. We know our guests typically travel with a lot of digital devices like laptops, as well as iPods. What's so great about the new HDTVs and the plug-in technology is our guests can connect their laptops into the panel and work on a presentation in high-definition, or even split the screen so they can multi-task, like watching TV and working on that presentation at the same time. Much like me, these road warriors work hard. They also like to relax when they can and listen to their own music on their iPods, which they can plug into the new connectivity panel. A lot of you want to know the artists I've loaded on my iPod. Let me share them with you: Frank Sinatra sings, Glenn Miller plays, and along comes Snoop Dogg. . .just kidding. | Daily Extras!
