Murder
I recently watched a group of our colleagues come together in a new business presentation, develop an exciting and compelling proposition for the prospective client, and win.
Couldn't agree more - PMA - positive mental attitude...Don't wait for the ship to come in, swim out to it..

Over the past many weeks, I was honored to be part of the collective effort that David refers to. And you're right, integration doesn't happen through process, charts, special exercises in integration... it happened by having a common goal and getting to know one anohter within the quest for that common goal. The true sign of integration is in the little things. We were asked to prepare the room in about 5 minutes as the previous agency ran late. We had about 15 minutes of set up to do. To see the team instincively work together to get the room prepped so seamlessly and calmy and working together ... it looked to the audience in the room like we had done that 100 times together before. A "little thing" but that's where you notice if a team's a team. When they asked for us to stand up at the end of the presentaiton and identify which orginal Wunderman group we were with... I think it was almost hard for us to each remember given the tightness that had formed. A special experience.

Definitely good. May I add a suggestion for better lisibility ? Is it possible to make the text darker?

A writer I once met - now deceased – told me that before he wrote a novel he felt he had to go out and "commit experience." I love the concept. And as presented by Duke Ellington, it highlights the focus, intent, and pure adrenaline needed for any successful action creative or otherwise. And while the act of murder may be a negative, perhaps we as an agency could decide to collectively commit innovation, commit excellence, commit impact, commit invention, commit success…
