										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’ve compiled a list of 4 books that influenced Papilium consultants in the last year. It’s not just a list of business books, or a catalog of management theories, but all of them have something in common: they’re fact-based, just as our work.</p>
<p><em><strong>Ode aan de E-nummers</strong> – Rosanne Hertzberger</em></p>
<p>If you are to believe the big cooking experts, there is nothing worse than microwaving your food. There is no greater sin than pre-sliced potatoes, canned vegetables or artificial colours. But are those things really that bad for you? Or for our planet?<br />
Rosanne Hertzberger shows in a compelling way that artificial colours are not necessarily unhealthier than natural ones and that inventions like fertilizer and mega-stables are doing us a big favour. Hertzberger describes the enormous impact of chemistry in the food production on the amelioration of human health, prosperity, the environment and women emancipation.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-23172 size-full" src="https://papilium.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/ode-aan-de-e-nummers.jpg" alt="" width="178" height="283" /></p>
<p><em><strong>The Future of the Mind</strong> – Michio Kaku</em></p>
<p>For the first time in history, scientists are able to penetrate the secrets of a living brain. ‘The Future of the Mind’ offers a professional and fascinating view on the ground-breaking developments that are happening in brain science. Maybe one day we can devise a ‘smart pill’ to enhance our mental capacity, we can put the content of our brains on a computer drive, we can send our thoughts and emotions to the other end of the world, we can control robots with our minds or even conquer mortality. The possibilities are endless.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-23171 size-full" src="https://papilium.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/brein.jpg" alt="" width="181" height="279" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Insights from the Boardroom</strong> – Herman Daems</em></p>
<p>In Flanders, there are more board members than CEOs. But what does a board member actually do and what is the role of a board? As an experienced board member and president of multiple companies and associations, Herman Daems runs a sharp and critical analysis of the tasks of board members. Best practices of today are discussed, but also new insights in the role of these board members in the future are formulated. Daems offers one big rule of thumb: “Within a boardroom ‘speech is golden, silence is tin’ rather applies instead of ‘speech is silver, silence is golden’.”</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-23170 size-full" src="https://papilium.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/boardroom.png" alt="" width="181" height="278" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Empty Planet</strong></em><em> &#8211; John Ibbitson &amp; Darrell Bricker</em></p>
<p>In Empty Planet, John Ibbitson and Darrell Bricker find that a smaller global population will bring with it many benefits: fewer workers will command higher wages; the environment will improve; the risk of famine will wane; and falling birth rates in the developing world will bring greater affluence and autonomy for women. But enormous disruption lies ahead, too. We can already see the effects in Europe and parts of Asia, as aging populations and worker shortages weaken the economy and impose crippling demands on healthcare and social security.<br />
Rigorously researched and deeply compelling, Empty Planet offers a vision of a future that we can no longer prevent–but one that we can shape, if we choose.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>After receiving a Master&#8217;s degree in Applied Economics from the University of Antwerp, Wout joined Papilium in August 2019 as a fresh graduate. Three months as a Papilium Business Consultant later, he provides an insight in his experiences so far.</em></p>
<p>Now that I have been working at Papilium for a couple of months, it’s a great time to look back and reflect on my experience at Papilium and why I chose consulting. During my studies in Applied Economics, I had no clear idea of what the beginning of my career would look like. I always had an interest in management and solving problems. This idea had me looking at consultancy and so I joined student organization 180 Degrees Consulting in Antwerp, where Papilium is one of the main partners, to get an introduction into consulting.</p>
<p>This experience convinced me that consulting was the way to go. I joined Papilium because I immediately felt a personal fit that no other company brought out. Being a small company means that you get many responsibilities in the beginning of your career, but you can have an immediate and substantial impact on the project as a junior employee.</p>
<p>I was very lucky to be able to join a new project on my first day. This was very challenging at first, because I had little experience, not much training and the project was complex and fast moving. This creates a bigger challenge but that makes this job is so interesting from my perspective. Luckily, I received great support from my colleagues during the project. Being a smaller enterprise means that you immediately have many responsibilities and you also have close contact with your managers every day. I got to soak up their experience and learn form the best, it accelerates the learning process.</p>
<p>At Papilium I get the opportunity to work on complex business transformations where you have to analyse business problems and create a transformation strategy based on facts. The next step is to develop a roadmap that helps the client at implementing this strategy by creating a pragmatic roadmap. This focus on implementation is something that differentiates Papilium from other management consulting firms and it is what convinced me to choose for Papilium. You develop and grow into an analytical expert to solve complex problems, but you also learn to think pragmatically in order to implement the strategy created in the first part of the project.</p>
<p>Looking back, it is incredible to see what I have learned in only a couple of months, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I still have a long way to go to become a business transformation leader and am looking forward to the journey ahead.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Working with clients on end-to-end business transformations, from development to implementation, is highly rewarding. We witness first-hand how a transformation positively impacts the bottom-line of our clients’ organizations. But it also comes with many challenges. We must keep our client focused on the goal of the transformation for months or even years. We must adjust the itinerary of the transformation on a regular basis. And we must continuously reassess the value of the transformation.</p>
<p>To address these challenges, we deploy consultants that can handle these end-to-end business transformations. At Papilium, we call them business transformation leaders, because they retained the skill set required to successfully develop and implement disruptive business transformations. And what&#8217;s so special about this skill set, is its paradoxical nature.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8211;   A business transformation leader is analytical <strong>and</strong> pragmatic</em><br />
Analytical people are good in structuring problems, coming up with sets of hypotheses to solve those problems and gathering just the necessary information to accept or reject these hypotheses. Pragmatic people deal with issues sensibly and realistically, based on practical rather than theoretical considerations. If our consultants are only strong analytically, they won’t be able to implement the solution they found. If they’re only strong pragmatically, how can they know whether the implemented solution is optimal? Therefore, both skills are essential.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8211;   A business transformation leader moves very fast <strong>and </strong>has a lot of patience</em><br />
At the start of a transformation project, it’s often all about speed. We want to provide our clients with valuable insights from the first week onward. But, fast forward a couple of weeks or months to the actual implementation of a business transformation, and suddenly you need to show a lot of patience as people, systems and structures need time to process the change. Again, speed and patience are both mandatory.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8211;   A business transformation leader teams up with top level management <strong>and</strong> operations level personnel<br />
</em>An organization’s top level management bears the responsibility to generate value for their stakeholders, and our transformation plans helps them to deliver on that. Therefore, our task is to convince top level managers of the intrinsic value of our proposed business transformation. But once they are convinced, the key to a successful transformation is to involve the operations level personnel, to end up with a plan supported by the whole organization. Therefore, business transformation leaders should be fluent communicators to and collaborators with top level management as well as operations level personnel.</p>
<p>With our system of continuous coaching, Papilians are every day one step closer to becoming a true business transformation leader, developing a paradoxical skill set to deliver end-to-end business transformations and generate substantial value, fact-based.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’ve compiled a list of 5 books that influenced Papilium consultants in the last year. It’s not just a list of business books, or a catalog of management theories, but all of them have something in common: they’re fact-based, just as our work.</p>
<p><em><strong>Why We Sleep</strong> – Matthew Walker</em></p>
<p>Sleep is a tacky subject in management consulting, known for its long working hours and stressful environment. It’s important to be conscious about the amount of rest we get. “Why we sleep” is an eye-opener in this regard. Did you know that sleep is not only important after you learned additional information, to hit the save button so to say, but also before you learn, to prepare your brain like a sponge ready to soak up information? Or that the average hours of sleep American households got reduced from the sweet spot of 8h15 in 1910 to 6h45 today, resulting in a catastrophic impact on our health and our wellness?</p>
<p><a href="https://www.bol.com/nl/f/why-we-sleep/9200000075798857/?country=BE"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-19272" src="https://papilium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/51b36-UW0xL-197x300.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="300" srcset="https://www.papilium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/51b36-UW0xL-197x300.jpg 197w, https://www.papilium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/51b36-UW0xL.jpg 328w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>AI Superpowers</strong> – Kai-fu Lee </em></p>
<p>Artificial Intelligence is one of the hottest topics in business today. But it has been around for a long time, going through waves of hype and starvation. What makes the current hype so special? The dual engine behind the revolution, the combined forces of the US and China, might be one of the factors. The rising amount of available data and computing power another one. In any case, in the long-term AI will disrupt the job market, not only impacting blue-collar jobs. A must read for anyone in the business world.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.bol.com/nl/p/ai-superpowers/9200000089311498/?Referrer=ADVNLGOO002008J-PZ4QTEHPPKPP2-312194578720&amp;&amp;Referrer=ADVNLGOO002008J-PZ4QTEHPPKPP2-312194578720&amp;Referrer=ADVNLGOO002008J-PZ4QTEHPPKPP2-312194578720&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAoo7gBRDuARIsANeJKUbz-u6tHBei90YZ1-q7Tqu9BehapcjCRIm2Ayi103JafCN9UJ8ana0aArIbEALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-19271" src="https://papilium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/ai-superpowers-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" srcset="https://www.papilium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/ai-superpowers-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.papilium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/ai-superpowers.jpg 550w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>The Angry Chef</strong> – Anthony Warner</em></p>
<p>In the last decade, food books became a massive sales engine for publishers worldwide. The amount of diet guides and cooking books are uncountable. “The angry chef” is the ugly duck of the bunch. Author Anthony Warner addresses the confusion and contradiction on food sparked by misinformation. Doing so, he doesn’t shy away from asking tough questions, such as “Is homemade really better?” Are biscuits made by you at home better than those made in a factory under stringent regulation and specialized in making biscuits? A very interesting read.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.bol.com/nl/p/the-angry-chef/9200000082080613/?country=BE&amp;Referrer=ADVNLGOO002008M-4F4TGMRLBBYGA-312243791421&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAoo7gBRDuARIsANeJKUba_z5mBL5qo0alQapag24_RI9lF9qRhv3T4kKtaZB1xdiRUUAEFRQaAnKSEALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-19270" src="https://papilium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/angry-cgef-195x300.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="300" srcset="https://www.papilium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/angry-cgef-195x300.jpg 195w, https://www.papilium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/angry-cgef.jpg 546w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100</strong> &#8211; Michio Kaku</em></p>
<p>Although it’s not a brand-new book, it’s still very relevant today.  “Physics of the future” addresses the most exciting areas of technology of the modern day. Aside from the usual suspects such as self-driving cars, molecular medicine and nuclear fusion as an energy source, the book also addresses more exotic ideas: the ability to create new life-forms, antimatter rockets, X-ray vision, and the development of new economic models. At 480 pages, you’re in for a world of surprises.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.bol.com/nl/p/physics-of-the-future/1001004011691433/?country=BE&amp;Referrer=ADVNLGOO002008M-G-54060652301-S-477690632532-1001004011691433&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAoo7gBRDuARIsANeJKUakM9M_ML8zEojcbFrfl1cMqBH-FBa6bmH5FZ6DaWmHVBuQyJ7-AqsaAgBvEALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-19269" src="https://papilium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/physics-future-196x300.jpg" alt="" width="196" height="300" srcset="https://www.papilium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/physics-future-196x300.jpg 196w, https://www.papilium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/physics-future.jpg 548w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Start With Why</strong> – Simon Sinek</em></p>
<p>“Start with why” is already an all-time classic, and we chose it because it remains so relevant in our day-to-day lives. Its author, Simon Sinek, is on a quest to create a world in which the vast majority of us wake up inspired, feel safe at work and return home fulfilled at the end of the day. Asking “Why” is an integral part of this mission, as this question forces you to look for meaning: what gives my life meaning? How does my job fit into this? How does a specific task fit into this? Asking “Why” is something we apply rigorously in our work at Papilium.</p>

<p class="article-intro-text lead"><span style="color: #000000;"> Si l&#8217;industrie 4.0 peut encore représenter un concept flou pour certains, ce n&#8217;est rien d&#8217;autre qu&#8217;adapter son business model, son modèle opérationnel et son modèle de performance à la disruption entraînée par la digitalisation. Le grand public connaît le principe de digitalisation grâce à des concepts tels que le big data, l&#8217;internet des objets, les drones, les réseaux sociaux ou encore le cloud. D&#8217;un point de vue économique, cette digitalisation va redéfinir les structures coûts/bénéfices et va également déterminer où les nouvelles marges se feront dans cet écosystème. </span></p>
<section class="article-body clearfix">
<section class="article-body-text"><span style="color: #333333;"><em>Une adaptation sur des faits concrets</em></span>Imaginer le futur sur base de faits concrets est donc essentiel. Dans cette optique, il est indispensable de bien comprendre l&#8217;impact de chaque mot de la question posée en début d&#8217;article. Une fois cet aspect assimilé, il s&#8217;agit d&#8217;adapter la vitesse, l&#8217;échelle et le cadre de la transformation afin de prendre de la hauteur par rapport à l&#8217;écosystème en mouvement. En effet, envisager l&#8217;avenir est insuffisant sans l&#8217;implémentation nécessaire qui l&#8217;accompagne. Pour aider les entreprises confrontées à ce défi, des sociétés de consultance en management peuvent apporter des clés qui permettront de franchir le cap en disposant des armes nécessaires.<span style="color: #333333;"><em>Embarquer graduellement, tenir le cap valeur</em></span>Une société comme Papilium, par exemple, s&#8217;adresse aussi bien aux PME qu&#8217;aux sociétés en expansion et aux grandes entreprises. Elle s’assure la participation de tous les stakeholders, de manière graduelle et factuelle afin de les convaincre du but, du chemin et de la nécessité de se transformer, jusqu’à une création de valeur substantielle, confirmée par les faits. Cette méthode de travail se veut exigeante, afin d&#8217;apporter la qualité requise à ce genre de service. Car si le secteur des sociétés de consultance en management a considérablement gagné en importance ces trente dernières années, encore faut-il que les clients puissent en retirer une valeur substantielle. Faire d&#8217;eux des leaders en matière de transformation leur donnera un impact d&#8217;autant plus positif par rapport à leur secteur professionnel.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Almost 500 flights cancelled, 100.000 affected passengers, travelers having to sleep at the airport, families with kids having to take a bus for up to 4 hours to another airport, …&nbsp; <strong>What is wrong at Brussels Airport since Thursday October 25<sup>th</sup>?</strong> </em></p>
<p>Aviapartner, one of the two handlers at Brussels Airport, went on strike right before the holiday week. Usually, this kind of unwarned strike is quick, which is not the case here.&nbsp; The unions are asking improvement of working conditions (materials, schedule, work charge, …) and the transformation of fixed-term contracts to permanent ones.&nbsp; Whereas this could look as an internal issue for Aviapartner, the problem is much broader.</p>
<p><strong>What is the current business model of the handling sector?</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">•&nbsp;Vertical boundaries : The handling sector fill in the gap between the core business of the airlines (bring the passenger from airport A to airport B) and core business of the airport (taking care of the passenger before entering the plane and when leaving the plane). All aside activities (luggage, push back, catering,&#8230;) would be difficult to handle for an airline for each of the airport it flies to. Imagine the operational nightmare and the additional costs having to complete all these tasks in a new country while the destination can be flied only once a week.&nbsp; Not considering that the route can be stopped after 1 year of operations. This why the role of the handler is vital in aviation industry. According to IATA, airlines outsourced more than 50% of ground handling in 2012<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a> (increasing trend).</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">•&nbsp;Horizontal boundaries : The handlers can be active in all types of activities (check-in, boarding, luggage, lost&amp;found, push backs, airplane cleaning, catering,…) or only in part of it. Agreement to operate is given by airport through licenses for each type of activity.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">•&nbsp;Nature of the competition : At Brussels Airport, the competition is limited by law (via licenses). The airport cannot have more than 2 handlers currently, which means a duopoly.&nbsp; If the airport reached 24 million passengers for 2 years in a row, a third handler will be accepted<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2">[2]</a>.&nbsp; Currently, the two handlers are Aviapartner and Swissport.</p>
<p><strong>What is going wrong then?</strong></p>
<p>As a duopoly with the same product offering, the two handlers are mostly fighting on price.&nbsp; To be able to offer the lower prices, each company tries to decrease salaries, working conditions, materials,… This lead to poor services (delays, missing bags,…) and recurrent strikes (unsatisfied workers).</p>
<p><strong>Who is responsible?</strong></p>
<p>According to us, the responsibilities are shared between 3 parties : the handlers, the airlines and the airport.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">•&nbsp;Handlers : By fighting mainly on cost, they decrease working conditions and service. Investments are reduced to a minimum with limited focus on innovation.&nbsp; Differentiation between handlers should be made on service, products,… instead of price only.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">•&nbsp;Airlines : As customers, airlines have the power to accept the price competition. Having a view on pricing at lots of airports, they should be able to notice when the price seems too low. If they accept a low price, they need to face the consequences that we currently see (strike).</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">• Airport : Brussels Airport can play on their conditions for licenses in their selection process<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3">[3]</a>. They could adapt the legislation to make sure investments are made.</p>
<p><strong>Which solutions?</strong></p>
<p>At its hub, an airline could decide to integrate vertically and play the role of the handler (i.e. Qantas in Sydney or Melbourne).&nbsp; However, this is a complex matter as it needs to integrate an activity which is not its core business and where economies of scale are essential.&nbsp; To be able to do so, you also need to have a rather stable activity across the day, with at least 2 peaks of departure (i.e. Brussels Airlines has only 1 peak of departure for intercontinental flights).</p>
<p>The realistic solution would be to pay the right price to the handler.&nbsp; This price should include decent working conditions (work is very physical and stressful), room for investment and a decent margin for the handler to avoid taking it from the investments.&nbsp; A win-win contract between airline and handler would be natural for airlines in their hubs, where disruption can be very costly. This is the choice Brussels Airlines made earlier this year<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4">[4]</a>.&nbsp; However, other airlines at Brussels Airport don’t have lots of incentives to do so.&nbsp; The impact of a disruption in operations would be rather limited for them (&lt;10 flights per day) vs the gain of low handling price.</p>
<p>The long-term solution should come from Brussels Airport. A third handler should force a differentiation on service/product instead of price only.&nbsp; However, the number of handler is limited by law and no evolution is to be expected for 1 or 2 years minimum.&nbsp; When distributing next licenses, let’s hope new constraints are included to insure minimum level of service.&nbsp; The airport should avoid price war as this also means low investments, non-respect of tarmac procedures, risks of incident,…</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>When I&#8217;m around students and fresh graduates, I&#8217;m often asked the question &#8220;What&#8217;s it like, working as a consultant at Papilium?&#8221;. The first few times, I didn&#8217;t have enough experience to give an educated answer. After working at Papilium for almost 14 months, it&#8217;s a great time for reflection. Here&#8217;s my answer.</em></p>
<p><strong>Choosing a career in consulting</strong></p>
<p>Upon graduation I was lucky enough to know what direction I wanted to take my career. Management consulting seemed to offer what I was looking for: a steep learning curve, interesting problems to solve and proximity to experienced managers. Then of course, I was excited to start off my career at Papilium. However, I soon realised the reality is more challenging than what I anticipated.</p>
<p><strong>Facing unexpected obstacles </strong></p>
<p>At Papilium, we work on large scale transformation projects. Almost by definition, this means you end up in an environment with loads of ambiguity (what problem are we even trying to solve?), where a lot of entrepreneurship is expected from you (don’t we have an outlined solution for this problem?) and where you take your solution to all levels of an organization (can’t we just formulate the solution to top management and implementation will follow?).</p>
<p>At first, this made me quite confused: how will I climb that steep learning curve, solve those interesting business problems and learn about management if I don’t even know what problem to solve, which outlined steps are required to reach a solution and spend a lot of time with employees at all levels of our clients’ company?</p>
<p><strong>Developing a future-proof skill set</strong></p>
<p>Soon I realised that’s exactly the excitement of working at Papilium: the projects you end up in put you in a sweet spot where you need to take a step back and look at business problems through a conceptual lens.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">• You are forced to structure your environment in a way that allows you to overcome ambiguity and find the problem you need to solve. Being able to <em>simplify complexity</em> through problem structuring is a highly desired skill in a world that is getting more complex every day.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">• You are expected to broaden your horizon and come up with creative, tailor-made solutions instead of forcing textbook fixes. <em>Creativity</em> is a highly desired skill in a world where everything that doesn’t require creativity will eventually be taken over by computer algorithms.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">• You witness first-hand how solutions you planned out with management is impacting employees on the field. The <em>empathy</em> you develop as a result is a highly desired skill in a world where collaboration and communication are progressively important value drivers.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Lately, Primera Air has announced starting flights from Brussels to USA East coast (Washington, New York and Boston). After having invaded (with success) the intra-continental market, the low-cost business model is trying to expand in the inter-continental market. Will they be able to break these boundaries?</em></p>
<p>Ryanair and EasyJet in Europe, JetBlue and Southwest in the US, AirAsia and Scoot in Asia, JetStar and Tiger in Australia. These are, among others, successful low-cost companies inside their continent. Their development is slightly coming to a ceiling, as a substantial part of the remaining intra-continental traffic are (de)feeders for traditional airlines. A big part of the market is still (almost) unserved by low-cost carriers: inter-continental routes (or “Long-haul routes” – LHL). Some airlines are already present: Norwegian, AirAsia X, Primera Air, … However, they remain marginals and are still loss-making (Norwegian lost 118 million € in 2017<a href="http:/#_ftn1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">[1]</a>). So what factors explain the difficulties to reach the same success on LHL segment?</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Type of plane</strong>. On SHL market, all low-cost carriers use only narrow-body aircraft, with often the same model (i.e. Ryanair using only B737). This way of working has lots of advantages. Homogeneity increases flexibility as one aircraft can easily be replaced (same crew, same cabin, same number of seats, …) and it decreases training costs, maintenance costs, … narrow-body aircrafts can also be filled in easier than a wide-body aircraft, allowing the carrier to serve smaller routes. Until 2 years ago, it was impossible to cross the Atlantic with narrow-body aircraft (at full charge). With the new generation of planes (737 MAX and A321LR), this becomes an option. Operating costs will decrease for carriers which don’t have the capacity to fill a wide-body aircraft. It has already been used by Norwegian and Primera to link US and Europe, while traditional companies should soon follow on loss-making routes. Moreover, it allows them to serve smaller airport, using the same strategy Ryanair did in Europe at its beginning (starting with Charleroi instead of Zaventem). For example, Norwegian has already launched routes from UK to Steward (100km from NYC) and Providence (100km from Boston), lowering the airport fees (10 lower at Steward vs LaGuardia<a href="http:/#_ftn2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">[2]</a>).</li>
<li><strong>Turnaround</strong> <strong>time</strong>. For short destination, the plane stays less than 30min on the ground before leaving with new passengers. For LHL, this becomes impossible. Passenger controls are longer (passport control, security), cleaning is more important after longer flights, more luggage must be loaded, …</li>
<li><strong>Increasing</strong> <strong>costs</strong>. LHL flights implies increased costs compared to SHL (aside from fuel costs of course). For example, on longer flights you can’t have the same crew for the return flight. As such, you need to accommodate them till the next flight. Moreover, you can operate a route only once a week, as you would have to pay the entire crew for an entire week with no productivity and extra accommodation costs. Low-cost routes need then to be operated with a minimal frequency of 3-4 flights/week.</li>
<li><strong>C</strong><strong>argo</strong>. For traditional companies, passengers traffic is not always profitable, and cargo allows additional revenues which can turn a route profitable. For low-cost, cargo is another business and they are often (always?) outside this market. They don’t have the sales organization nor the available cargo space in their planes (already filled in by luggage in SHL aircraft) to bring these revenues.</li>
<li><strong>Sales</strong>. While serving a single continent is easier in marketing and brand positioning, being able to sell capacities in another continent requires sales force and substantial marketing effort to raise brand awareness from scratch (who knows Southwest Airlines in Europe?). Traditional companies can count on partnerships with local airlines or are parts of a bigger group (Iberia can count on IAG sales force). These costs are substantial and low-cost airlines active in LHL market often limit themselves in developing sales in one part of the route. This limits the number potential customers but also creates discrepancies in route behavior (in the beginning of school holiday, seat-load factor can be very high for the departure and low on the return flights while it is the contrary in the end of the school holiday).</li>
</ol>
<p>Of course, other elements will play a role and were not developed here: no connecting passengers, current consolidation in the airline industry (IAG taking over Norwegian?), reaction of traditional airlines, ancillaries, …</p>
<p>If these factors can be solved or if their impact can be limited, low-cost airlines should be able to grow and could be able to reproduce their success on the LHL segment. Now the next question is: should traditional airlines change their business model to react to this threat? And if yes, how? At Papilium, we think it is still time for them to assess closely their business model, verify their positioning and seek at efficiency improvements through integration or externalization in the value chain, extension of activities,&#8230;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The fourth and final stage of our <a href="https://papilium.com/how-we-work/">Engage to Deliver Value © framework</a> is the actual transformation. Every transformation is a unique journey, but we apply the same foundation principles: we execute the planned delivery to which all stakeholders are committed as a result of the <a href="https://papilium.com/commit-value/">commit</a> phase. The planned delivery is a way to structure upfront Thinking (20%), Delivery (80%) and Engagement (100%) time (TED) in order to exceed all stakeholder expectations within a predefined budget.</p>
<p><strong>1. Thinking (20% of our time)</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Thinking&#8221; refers to the application of brainstorming and logical reasoning techniques. We ensure the full picture, to which all stakeholders are committed, remains uniform. We continuously evaluate the progress made. If changes occur in our environment during the transformation, we adapt our plans to stay on the path of highest speed to value.</p>
<p><strong>2. Delivery (80% of our time)</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Delivery&#8221; refers to the delivery of material that supports the transformation, for example a report of the progress made, evidence of achieved milestones, a financial model supporting a specific work package or an informational presentation to stakeholders impacted by the transformation.</p>
<p><strong>3. Engagement (100% of our time)</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Engagement&#8221; refers to the continuous communication with all stakeholders that influence the transformation and/or are involved in the transformation. We communicate with these stakeholders in their preferred style, to ensure the message is understood.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Safeguarding the correct distribution is essential. We believe a distorted balance in time-allocation between the TED components might jeopardize the progress along the four engagement phases, not achieving the full value potential of our end goal: the creation of substantial value, fact based.<strong> </strong></p>
