Our job is not done until we have exceeded our customers' expectations. We aim to delight our customers in the same way our customers aim to delight their guests. The question is not if completed a process or hit a metric, the question is whether or not the customer is delighted.
• Champion Innovation: We compete in the game of change and win through innovation. Our customers have problems that are always changing and they rely on us to adapt to solve them. Think big and then think bigger when it comes to the innovation required to tackle these problems. We will endure for our people, our customers, and our investors if we innovate through change.
