Kaleidoscope

Are the changes in this economy a kaleidoscope or a snow globe?  What is the difference between the two toys –  a twist of the kaleidoscope shatters one image and produces an entirely new one from old components.  A shake of a snow globe creates a flurry that momentarily obscures the view but eventually leaves things looking almost exactly like they did before.  After a big shake up, things may appear to be the same but each snowflake is in a different place.* 

The recent economic tumult has inspired many venerable companies to reflect on their past and their future.  As we reflect on our valued client relationships, it is clear that sharing core values is one of the keys to success.  Sharing core values such as leadership, ethics, integrity, customer focus, respect for people, and corporate social responsibility is important to the stability and growth of our many corporate relationships.  At MTM, we believe in utilizing our resources to inspire Memorable Moments for recognizing achieving employees around the globe.

As we look to 2010 to see where the snowflakes may land, we now take time to review and renew our annual commitment to our core values and to our customers that we will always:

• Seek new ways to serve
• Pro-actively communicate
• Improve products and processes through technology, automation, and initiative to increase productivity and efficiency
• Work to maintain and lower costs while improving products and services everywhere we can

Here’s wishing you and yours a Memorable and Meaningful 2010.
