#741 in the Project was taken from Guy Kawasaki’s ‘ENCHANTMENT’ speech at 2011 SWSXi:
Guy spoke about Ford’s DICEE and Innovative MyKey System. “DICEE” is an acronym he uses to explain what every great product must possess: Depth, Intelligence, Completeness, the ability to be Empowering, and Elegance.
According to Ford’s press release:
MyKey®, another innovation from the company that introduced SYNC®, allows parents to limit speed and audio volume to encourage teens to drive safer and improve fuel efficiency. Harris Interactive Survey shows that many parents would allow teens to drive more often if their vehicle was equipped with MyKey – helping young drivers build road safety experience. MyKey debuted as a standard feature on the 2010 Ford Focus and is now a no-cost feature on nearly all Ford and Lincoln models
