Domino is a game that involves a series of rectangles with numbers of spots-called pips-on each end. When one domino falls, the pips on other ends move up or down to match the new positions of the other dominoes, creating a chain effect. In some games, players score points by counting the pips in the losing player’s hands. Other domino games focus on blocking other players’ plays.
Dominoes have long been a popular toy. They have also been used in a wide range of business applications. For example, Domino’s has experimented with using robotic delivery vehicles and drones to deliver pizzas. These innovations are a way for the company to modernize its image and attract customers who may not want to drive to a store.
A Domino’s spokesperson told the New York Times that Domino’s is committed to innovation to improve efficiency and reduce costs. While some of these changes are designed to boost profits, others are intended to address consumer concerns about the quality and timeliness of Domino’s deliveries.
The first step in any effective change is to identify what’s wrong. Domino’s CEO and Chairman of the Board Donato “Don” Morris identified several problems with the company, including slow delivery and a perception that the Domino’s brand was outdated. He then launched a program to revamp the organization and make it more responsive to customer demands.
For the Domino’s team, this meant changing policies and procedures in stores and improving the company’s delivery service. It also meant implementing technology that would allow people to order pizzas by text message, or from devices like Amazon Echo. The company also invested in better training for employees and improved its corporate culture to reduce employee turnover, which had been a major problem for years.
When the Domino’s team made these changes, they were careful to balance short-term gains against the long-term impact on the company’s reputation and brand image. By making the necessary improvements, Domino’s was able to address the customer complaints that had been driving people away.
Domino’s success has been attributed to its ability to adapt quickly and innovate. It has embraced technology in its delivery vehicles and is now offering same-day delivery by robots, but it still prioritizes the needs of customers. Ultimately, it has been able to combine the best of both worlds by using the latest technology to enhance its traditional value proposition.
Whether you write an outline before you start writing or jot down scene ideas as you go, you need to ensure that the scenes you create fit together and lead up to your story’s climax. Just like a domino construction, if you don’t space scenes correctly, they may fall out of sync or not have enough logical impact on the scene that came before it. In a story, this could mean that the scene is too long (overly detailed or repetitive) or too short (not enough tension or discovery). Getting your story dominoes in a row will help ensure a smooth, logical flow until the final blow.
