How Can we Adopt "Pixar Innovation"?

First and foremost is to begin with your story. Ask any Pixar employee what their secret to success is, and they will tell you, "The story is king." It doesn’t matter if you are making movies, manufacturing refrigerators, or selling hot dogs…you must have a story or a dream around which people can rally.

Collaboration is not an option if you want to be innovative. It’s about bringing people together who listen to one another and are truly interested in each other -- each one bringing a unique perspective to the table. Randy Nelson, Dean of Pixar University, describes collaboration as “a way to get a high-fidelity notion across to a broad range of people…" Now, that’s a great definition.

Collaboration is the heart of Innovate the Pixar Way!
