Choices
• Fight the fluff
• Ignore it
• Accept that it produces
results
Fight the Fluff
• We have to overcome the finance
department saying“the fluff wasn’t budgeted
for this year”
• We have to overcome the marketing people
‘yelling’about what font to use.
• “Back in ’78 we tried that and it didn’t work”
• “That’ll take too long”
CULTURE

ROFI?
What is our Return on Fluff?
• Productivity
– Engagement
• Creativity
• Goodwill
• Healthy Work Force
• Loyalty
– Retention
A Brand / Culture that people want to be a part of.
