You must enchant if your start up must come alive!

Ateneo, Philippines   December 7, 2013

From First Round


 


Is Enchanted Kingdom enchanting?  Is it having near death experiences too.  Guy Kawasaki writes that Apple, early on had near death experience.  But escaped death because it had enchanting product - the Aldus Pagemaker.  The Aldus Pagemaker had the ability to enchant customers that it brought back a company life.  JB Borromeo often uses the word "mesmerize"  I like the idea of being "compelling or irrestible"

Can being enchanting learned.  Kawasaki likes to think so. 

Some ideas:

1.  Make them like you.  Dress well, learn the proper handshake, open yourself to the possibility of yes Yes you will help them.

2.  Default with great product -  with support, manuals, tutorials.  Others:  completeness, intelligence, empowerment.  Explain your product in three words.

3.  Do a pre mortem not a post mortem  -  Anticipate what you must do in order not die.  You cant do much when your product has died.

How to be enchanting with your boss:

1.  When he asks you do something, drop everything and do it (not your underwear though)

2.  Prototype early;

3.  Give bad news early

Reports:

1.  MAP  - Mastery, Autonomy Purpose

2.  Dont ask your people to do anything you would not do.

 Tugtoners-Southerners Fusion Menu 
 Inspired by the sweet strawberries from the North and spicy red bell peppers from the South, the Tugtoners and jointly with the Southerners thought of a fusion of these elements and everything in between. The intricate yet elegant fusion menu flaunts the complementary creations of Payday Parfait, Sweetly Crostini, and the Definitely Divine Fruit Platter.      
 Our first dish, Sweetly Crostini, is made of thin wafer crostinis topped with fresh basil leaves, luscious diced red bell peppers infused in olive oil with salt and pepper, and drizzled with our very own sweet and tangy honey mustard dressing. This is a deliciously tarty treat made perfect with red wine.
 As for dessert, we have especially prepared the Payday Parfait - a creamy and smooth strawberry parfait. It's a luxurious sweet reward after putting in a hard day's work. Payday Parfait comes in a special parfait glass filled with a base of buttered graham granules and generously layered with cubed fresh strawberries and layers of fresh creme showered delicately with confectioner's sugar. Atop the lavish layers sit a finely selected cherry and a chocolate stick that complement every bit of bite.
 To complete the fusion, a creative side dish of fresh cherries and strawberries paired with a dollop of flavorful cream cheese in a vibrant red bell pepper carving was served. It was definitely a Divine Fruit Platter.
 And while the color Red abounds our dishes, it is also the color of passion. This, needless to say, is a perfectly creative menu to show your fiery and passionate love to your special someone this coming Valentine's day. So to you love birds, Bon appetit!

NAME OF DISH: 
HONEY-GLAZED FRUIT- & NUT- TOPPED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE
SALES PITCH:
The group believes that the making of a good chef lies on his ability to create a dish from what is available. This is a sweet dish created from what was available to us.
The chocolate chip cookie we used in this dish was freshly baked and its sweetness was just right.    Definitely what a semi-sweet chocolate chip cookie should be. It was soft and chewy that once you nibble on it, you'll be asking for more! It tastes like heavenly chocolatey goodness.  Adding the nut makes it even more YUMMY!
The fresh strawberries and plump cherries added a different kind of sweet and tart flavors with a unique texture after each bite.  The drizzled honey stimulates the taste buds and with the combination of cookie, fruits, and nut; it just explodes inside the mouth.
The chocolate mint is the perfect ending for a sweet dessert.
So, come and try our dish! It's sweet yet healthy! Once you start savoring it, you'll definitely ask for more!
