McGraw Hill/Irwin management presents Organizational Structure and Design, One Smooth Stone 00:13-00:18 A man dressed as Austin Powers [speaking to crowd]: Now we just need to add a little life to this party. 00:18-00:23 [A series of introductory video clips are displayed, including a large auditorium of audience members who are dancing, a man dressed as a female cooking show host, and a group of men walking through a dark alleyway. Music plays in background] 00:23-1:00 A new man’s voice [narrator] is introduced. Narrator: “Business theatre, what exactly does that mean? It means when a large corporation wants to hold an important business meeting, client meeting, or product lunch, they call a company like One Smooth Stone. Want a celebrity spokesperson at your meeting? A rock band? An impersonator? Do you want the entire show live? Or, would you like some pre-produced videos? Whatever the request, they can deliver. Of course, there is much more to this than just putting on good theatre. To ensure proper ROI, or Return on Investment, for their clients, One Smooth Stone listens to their needs. Typically these companies have a need for some type of marketing or an event that communicates in a broad fashion to a group of individuals. We help them write the strategy, deliver the messages, help facilitate the production, and deliver an event that is meaningful, that has some type of return on investment, and that establishes a message out in the marketplace that people can take some kind of action on. So who are these companies”? [Video clips continue on screen] 1:00-1:14 A new man is introduced, his name is Gary Vik. Gary Vik: “We produce business theater events for our clients, and theater is live, and that means you've got one shot to get it right. Millions of dollars are on the line, that CEO is out and onstage, and the audience wants to hear the message and wants to be moved to action. That's a lot of pressure, but pressure that we're ready for because of the great relationships we have with the clients and the great structure that we've got within our organization”. 1:14-2:17 [While Gary continues speaking camera changes from being on him to a series of video clips, including two men riding an escalator] Narrator: “-So who are these clients? They range from companies like Motorola and Nortel to International Truck & Engine, Coast Pharmaceuticals, and others.

[Crowd laughs]. 2:21-2:43 Narrator: “As you meet some of the employees from One Smooth Stone in this video, one of the things that you'll realize is that their jobs require expertise not only in their own industry, corporate event planning, but in their clients' industries.
