Improving Customer Service at United Airlines Requires a Paradigm Shift and Recognizing They Have a Problem. 10 Things United Airlines Might Have Done (see below). Once again we have an incident of extremely poor customer service from a major airline. The incident, the background of the problem, and the half-baked apology signal a sick culture. This is a cultural problem. Culture change doesn’t happen without a project.

Three years ago Derek Bishop, Jo Geraghty and I published our book, Building a Culture of Innovation. [1] 1] The book was inspired by, and written for, all of those leaders who understood that in order to thrive in today’s global marketplace they needed to set innovation as a capability at the heart of their culture but were uncertain how to go about it. Perhaps that’s why the pace of product development is little changed from when we wrote Building a Culture of Innovation.

Since Mr. Smisek organized the merger of Continental (his former employer) with United, creating the world’s largest airline at the time, things have not gone well. Since announcing the merger in 2010, more has gone wrong than right at United: Computer glitches have hounded the airline. Thousands of flights were grounded, distressing millions of customers and wreaking havoc on the airline. Chronic bad experiences have led loyal customers to abandon the airline.

One of the best examples of this behaviour that I have come across is by Herb Kelleher of Southwest Airlines. He is famous to have taught every employee of the Organization to decide based on the one shared vision they had – to be the lowest cost airline. Whenever he was approached with an idea/suggestion/request for a decision, he was known to ask the team the one guiding question – will this make us the lowest cost airline?

Or, as I'll explore below, we give into a perspective that suggests that many issues, conventions, regulations and cultures are fixed, unable to move. But unlike the insects, that loss of freedom isn't because of a tangible, sticky substance, but because of the stickiness of their perspectives, their cultures, their experiences and education and their industry conventions. Conversely we can see why it is difficult to innovate in the airline industry.

This is common practice today in the airline industry.

Today, each TNC runs its own reservation system, much like airlines used to do in the past. Remember that American Airlines originally developed Sabre and later spun it off.
