Webcast: Pixar's President and Co-Founder Speaks at Stanford Business School
From a report on the event:
Pixar thrives because it seeks out small crises, said Ed Catmull, the animation studio’s president and cofounder.
Rather than skate on the success of animated hits such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and The Incredibles, Pixar’s executive team continually solves problems in hopes of avoiding big ones, Catmull told a packed auditorium at the Stanford Graduate School of Business Conference on Entrepreneurship on January 31.
The last thing anyone wants to do after producing a hit movie is dissect what worked and what didn't but Catmull insists on postmortems. “Organizations are inherently unstable,” he said. “You have to work to keep them going.”
