Title – Getting round the smoking ban in Germany
Source – www.metro.co.uk
Date – 19th December 2007

The smoking ban came into force in Germany in January 2008, some time after the UK and there are different rules in different parts of the country. But Michael Windisch came up with the bright idea of allowing people to smoke while inside, yet actually smoking outside, it has not caught on in the UK yet….

This may not be a solution to the loss of revenue to some businesses in the UK, which came with the introduction of the smoking ban, but it is a good representation of what innovation can do. From complete obscurity to publicity throughout the worlds press, Michael Windisch came up with an idea that if not the most practical, certainly grabbed people’s attention.

Innovation, new ideas and making the most of the situation you find yourself in, are all ways of grabbing people’s attention and once you have it, your service standards and the quality of the product you are selling will do the rest. Providing that is, that they are of a suitably high standard.

Our Consultancy Service will look at your business or any part of it and offer you the guidance to improve through a number of established methods and using innovation where ever possible. It is very easy for you to get so involved with your business that you can’t see what is staring you in the face. This inability to see what is letting you down and where you need to improve is not a failing, as it happens to most organisations and in every sector, but the brave and farsighted use the experience of others to point them in the right direction again, to open their eyes and their employees eyes to the potential locked up in their organisation.
