The theme of this conference was "A Vision for Excellence," and can be seen as a crystal ball into the future of where technology was to be headed, namely the groundwork for the Internet.Includes:First speaker: Allen Cizner - Topics touched on by him during his talk ("Opportunities/Challenges in the 90's") include a look on the market as of his speech, including the needs of residence, business and interexchange carriers; descriptive slides highlight "Dynamic Environment," the issues of environment and implications as relating to residence, interexchange carriers and business, and their specifics, followed by summary requirements; projections (represented by pie charts) as to Ameritech's revenue shares by group in 1985 and anticipations for 1991; BOC revenue potential, followed by another pie chart of 1985 vs. 1995 in terms of BOC revenues by market segments; potential sources for new revenue including Systems Network Management, Class, Virtual Network Service, Interactive Audiotex and Pay-Per-View; a graph of total new services potential between 1985 and 1995; a look at information services and their definitions, products and services, value added elements, two broad applications categories, market role assessment, and Ameritech's strategy; along with something called "ISP" (which in this case stands for Information Services Potential - _not_ Internet Service Provider), BOC revenue potential, and a summary of his presentation.Second speaker: Dave Detert - his talk is about "Ameritech Services Marketing - Revenue in the 1990's"; among the topics he touches on are new products for 1987, listed as on the screen: "Connections," Commercial Prewire, Custom Appointment Service, DDS Secondary Channel, Extended Service Program, Opinion Polling, Single Wire Centrex CLASS and IPAS/976; followed by a list of 1987 product trials (Audio Support for Custom Calling, Home Intercom Service, Teenline, Domini, Centrex Electronic Key System and C.O. LAN Services) and marketing issues to come in '87 (Move from "Products" to "Markets," Data Communications Marketplace, Packet Switching Sales Plan, and ISDN Market Interpretation), and a look into 1990 servicing posture (Customer Satisfaction vs. Internal Performance Indices; Grades of Service, at Premium Prices; Response Time Commitments; and Pricing to Market, Not by Rate of Return), with him filling the background on all of the above.Produced by the Corporate Television Group, Illinois BellThis did not air anywhere, but was held from January 15th to 16th 1987.About MemoryMuseum:MemoryMuseum™ is an accredited institution restoring and preserving various public domain and approved commercial television broadcast material from the 1970s through the 1990s.
Illinois Bell - Operations Manual Meeting - A Vision for Excellence (Part 2, 1/15-16/1987) MemoryMuseum 2021-06-06 | Here's Part 2 of highlights from an operations manual meeting held by Illinois Bell, under the heading of "A Vision for Excellence." The speaker seen throughout this whole segment is veteran NFL official and raconteur Art Holst (1922-2018).Among the issues and topics he discusses to the assembled audience include a meet with Indiana farmers, his visiting the Alaska Bankers Association and a tale of a dog team working on the pipeline, speakers' being delighted to be wherever they are, his flying experiences with Britt Airlines (a regional air carrier), his tales about his NFL officiating career (he brings up the likes of players like Jim Brown and Roger Staubach, and owners like Art Modell), miscommunications about time outs, his limited intellect, an audience member's baldness - and how his NFL career, and the business of officiating football games, ties in to the job of Illinois Bell workers in what they do. He then goes on about his last NFL game and the preparations thereof, and stories about Mean Joe Greene, coach Chuck Knoll and Jack Lambert, before announcing that he's on stage as "one of your...customers," urging workers to keep up amidst all the technological and regulatory changes since Ma Bell's breakup, and elaborating on what the 'Vision for Excellence' heading of that conference really means, especially as it relates to the decade to come. He touches on the challenges of change, bringing up a longtime bank employee, and ties it to football, bringing up more examples over his career, and emphasizing how Ameritech workers are no longer rate- but market-driven, relating their services (i.e. speed calling, call forwarding, retail by button punching) as relating to his needs as a customer; he cites examples such as a family in Oklahoma with a 7-year-old kid and a chicken salesman; he asks those who've worked 20 years about their lot and commitment to their customers; comparing Sears from the old days to the present time; explaining CENTREX (central switching system); "can do" motivational speaking, emphasizing discipline of imagining, affirming, doing, loyalty and running a business; bringing up the issues of problem solving, risk vs. reward, "successful failure," finding fun in the least things, language that the average person could understand (especially with newfangled technology); and juxtaposing them with anecdotes of various personal experiences in the NFL and elsewhere.(Around 53:28, a "Continue on Tape 2" notice is shown on the screen; after the "Tape 2" graphic, we get back to his speech at 54:02.)Art gets to how "even one word" could make a difference in communicating with customers, and how will the company deal with new offerings for him; he ends with the message that what they leave with should be how they use what they learn in this meeting, not the speaker or any of the other accoutrements.Produced by the Corporate Television Group, Illinois Bell"We pay off on excellence."This did not air anywhere, but was held from January 15th to 16th 1987.About MemoryMuseum:MemoryMuseum™ is an accredited institution restoring and preserving various public domain and approved commercial television broadcast material from the 1970s through the 1990s.
