Hi Adora, the program looks great. A question — how does setting up the group office hours timeslot work? Is there a selection or a way to mark preferred times? If it's standardized, roughly what time ranges are the hours held? (My cof

Yeah, this was a lot more important than most people realize. I wrote about it here, in the context of Zhukov's rise as a general and what he'd later do on the Eastern Front after Hitler invaded — https://medium.com&#x2

Does anyone know if Disney publishes any of their operations materials or data, a la Toyota? I didn't find any on a quick search; it'd be fascinating to dig into materials on how they do planning, capacity, traffic flows, etc.

Wow, neat. I'm a little late to the party here: I think I wrote under a dozen non-announcement blog posts from May 2014 to May 2015... glad this one resonated and was useful.
