Denis at IT Law just flicked me this link to a new blog from the CEO of Marriott Hotel.

Just thought you would be interested to see the quality response Bill Marriott has received since his blog site went live on Tues 16Jan.

See http://www.blogs.marriott.com/ then flip to the comments - fabulous, person to person, he’s “management by walking around” Man & they get it, C2B in action.

I am totally impressed with the initiative, link to consumers & feedback from readers (Marriott guests).

Bill has captured a great audience (as he says he makes notes on all his trips now he aims to display them & get feedback - not a PR ploy). Me for one am impressed big time. It’s a reality check as to the power of technology as a tool. It works.

This is like an inside running to the boardroom (maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration!!).

I hope other big company CEO’s see Bill’s reception.
