Adam Markel Introduces the PIVOT Process at Quick Service Industry District Manager Meeting

This is the status quo line, the flat line. This is what describes in 1955, the Fortune 500 was created. Fortune 500 most 500 most successful companies in that year. How many of those companies still exist today? Anybody want to guess? Less than 12%. Shocking. Shocking, isn't it? Why they were the best companies in industries that still exist, products that still exist, but they're not around. Why Jack in the box is here, 1951, still here. Because they've learned how to implement change, utilize change, innovate. So even small changes, this is what I want you to see. This is math. This is physics. This is not the stuff of intentions. This is real, tangible. A five degree change in direction over time creates transformation. It's disruption is what it is. And that disruptive change creates transformation. It creates something new that didn't exist before. And it's principle number one of our pivot. Now. The power of momentum is pretty cool. And I want to just show you something. Because a domino has the capacity to knock over another domino. And another. And another. And another. And another. And a. Another and a. And a. This is just fun. And a. And another. I think the record's like over a million dominoes. It's pretty cool. Yes. But what's really cool is that a domino that's only three eighths of an inch high can lock over another domino that's one and a half times its size. How much? One and a half times its size. And that domino in turn can knock over another domino one and a half times its size until you get to the 28th domino. That domino is the size of the Empire State Building. That's crazy. That's what momentum is. We have a short clip just so you can see this tiny 3/8 of an inch domino. One little. You could blow it over. It's so small. Knocking over a domino that's more than £100. Did you guys see that? That's not made up. That's what momentum really looks like when you make small changes.
