The Benefit of Challenging Obsolete Business Practices
Many industries are so close-knit that when a long-standing member of the business community speaks out against established practices, people sit up and take notice. If a former career executive begins criticizing industry practices and offers an alternative to long-time procedures, you can be sure that a wave of change is about to sweep across an industry. While this does not always happen, it’s interesting to see how some people have been able to promote change that was overall very good for consumers and even helped industry members reduce costs.
One example you might be interested in is former airline industry executive Nicholas Bredimus. After 25 years in the airline industry, at the end of which he was serving as President of an American Airlines subsidiary company, Bredimus launched his own software consulting business to promote change in the airline ticketing industry. Bredimus and other business revolutionaries like him began upgrading the airline industry’s ticketing methods to help businesses improve their bottom lines and reduce consumer stress and confusion.
In news story after news story focusing on airline ticketing mishaps, Nicholas Bredimus revealed to consumers just how reluctant the airline industry was to implement change. Of course there were economic and technological challenges that had to be overcome but innovators like Bredimus also had to show the airlines that it was in their best interests to reduce consumer difficulties in travel.
And the innovations did not stop with just basic ticketing services. People like Nicholas Bredimus also pointed out issues with ticketing and software security. The insights that experts from within the industry itself provided to the news media helped the public become aware of the need for changes in the airline industry, as well as for investors to press the companies into accepting and adopting change.
Ultimately, through the efforts of many people like Nicholas Bredimus, the airline industry improved its practices and procedures to the mutual benefit of all.
