It starts with YOU....



This quote could apply to any of the casino opening projects I (or anyone else who’s done one) did. When we recruited our initial team for the Mirage we had to start where we were: evaluating plans, developing budgets, and creating timelines. We interviewed people that had opened companies in the then recent past: the information they gave us proved invaluable in finalizing our plans. These provided the foundation for all of the programs and processes we developed and became part of the orientation we gave to everyone hired for this project. This approach was how we learned the value of strategic planning, effective communications, and a professional approach to our work. Professionalism brings the structure, discipline and drive that make any project successful. You are most likely an integral part of the team you’re on and your colleagues surely rely on the professionalism you bring to the job everyday. So remember to start where you are, use what you have and do what you can today.
