Back in April 2008, Abigail Disney , the mogul's grandniece, put her two West End Avenue apartments on the market for a combined $13,445,000.

As you have probably guessed. This year I have been moving into responsive community projects both through public involvement right the way through to encouraging a different way of viewing business and branding. Bringing it back to basics. Which for me is to concentrate on people rather than profit. While I am not sure Walt Disney was purely about this the organisation chart seems to have a refreshing...
