And the interns shall inherit the earth

The sales staff of our company's news division held their annual retreat this week. Your basic training/planning/role-playing/drinking/cheer leading get-away. I've attended a lot of them but not this one.

With video getting easier to shoot and edit, they decided to record some of the role playing sessions for evaluation purposes. Super Intern Jon Allison was put in charge of AV chores and he was MORE than up to the task. Check out his 5 minute mash-up (produced in iMovie HD).

In a pre-YouTube world, we would have posted a few still images on the company intranet or sent around some lame-ass PowerPoint (a couple of weeks after the event). Jon had this ready to watch before they came home.

Here's my question for managers: Do you have someone on your staff that can produce something like this? [Photo: Jon with Learfield Kahuna Roger Gardner]
