A man built an event center that had seating capacity for a maximum 350 people, so they could not compete with other venues for requests for parties larger than that number.
The man and his team began looking for a solution.
The most apparent answer was to add an addition onto the existing hall. They did the estimate. When the final numbers were tallied, the total cost of the addition, including additional chairs and tables, came to an
estimated #3 million.
The project would probably take six to nine months to complete. #3 million and nine months is a lot of money and time.
One evening the owner was walking past a large party in the hall. He paused for a moment to observe the celebration, thinking about the problem of how to expand the hall to accommodate more people. He noticed an elderly woman struggling to get out of her chair. The hall chairs were very nice, but they were big and heavy.
That’s when the idea came. Instead of building an addition onto the hall, why not get smaller chairs?
The next day his team started researching this idea. The final result? They found smaller attractive chairs that increased the seating capacity from 350 to over 500 people.
They were able to sell the existing large chairs for more money than the new chairs cost!
They increased the capacity of their hall so they could now handle parties of up to 500 guests. Instead of costing him #3 million, he actually made money on the deal. That is putting your creativity to work while adding
considerable value.
The lesson
Successful people rarely focus solely on the “obvious” solution. While it may be true that the obvious solution can be the right one, successful people also explore many avenues that may bring much more benefit
In short, they think creatively and look at the world with open eyes.
The good news is that we can all think and see this way, if we make the decision to.
