COMPLIMENTARY REVIEWS:

From Bill Ellet at Training Media Review

"It isn't often that art, effective instruction, and a crucially important topic come together in a training video. It's even rarer when the video is a hoot to watch. All these things are true of The Excellence Files. In concept it's the sequel to In Search of Excellence, one of the most influential videos of the eighties. The Excellence Files tells the stories of eight very different organizations that have one thing in common: they are uncommonly successful. The program tells those stories well.

You won't get a heavy dose of bizspeak in this show. The people talking aren't glib MBA automatons. They're people talking about problems, solution, and satisfactions.

Here's a recommendation: get this video. Or, at the very least, let your management team know that it exists and suggest (strongly) that they go get it. For total organizational health and well being, The Excellence Files is good medicine. And it's actually fun to take."

From The New York Times Sunday Week In Review

"Having downsized in the 90s, many executives are probably beginning to wonder how they should prepare for the 21st century. The Excellence Files which [was] presented nationally by New York-based Thirteen/WNET represents the next wave of management thinking.

Today's breakthroughs come in the form of reaching out to the community, and understanding the personal and family issues that employees bring with them when they come to work every morning."
