The handheld device that once felt futuristic at The Ritz-Carlton is obsolete — but the standard it served isn’t. Joseph Michelli makes the case that AI doesn’t rewrite great service; it raises the stakes on it. Through three enduring Ritz-Carlton standards — the Credo, the Motto, and the daily Line-Up — he shows how to keep your “durable core” alive while letting AI carry the weight it was built for.
