To use a good airline (Air France) you have to endure the disaster of their home airport. Charles De Gaul has normally very good security, with a fast track for business customers but it is managed by the weakest managers in the world as the bus system is chaos and the bust drivers control the whole place. The contrast to arriving in Guarulhos, Sao Paulo&rsquo;s airport was marked. Immigration was quick virtually empty (Although this is not always the case. It can take an age to leave or arrive here). But from the plane to the bus pick up area was less than 15 mins. In Paris it took them 15 mins to get us off the plane, 10 mins to get us to the terminal and the driver was trying to kill the passengers with his dreadful driving, accelerating and braking so hard at the stupid amount of stop signs that children and adults were falling all over the bus. Then when you arrive you need to read several boards, to find the terminal for your connecting flight, as they list all flights by terminal not anywhere on one list. Then you need to wait for a bus to move from the terminal to next terminal. Again the driver has no concern for the passenger as they race between stop signs. Then if you are really unlucky your plane will be not at the terminal on a air gate but on a remote stand served by yet another buss. They will herd you onto overcrowded busses, shout at you and make you wait for the late arrivals before taking you to the plane, whilst scowling at you as though you ruined their day coming to their place of work. CDG is a very bad example of an airport but frankly none of the worlds major airports in the first world are very good. I do not understand why the airlines that pay for these anyway through their customers do not get together and buy those useless airport operators out. The airports ruin what would be a good and pleasant travelling experience for most travellers. I know, yesterday was my 30th flight in 5 weeks and the 9th long haul. Most of the experience, even on the stupidly overcrowded hub link planes to heathrow, provided by BA were very good. Happy helpful caring even sometimes staff. Whereas the airports and security staff make you feel like criminals and treat you like badly behaved children.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Knoxville&#x2c; TN&#x2c; USA</title><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2012-03-11T10:39:00+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/54d46b2ad3b9003b05284ac6a3b1ddf3-37.html#unique-entry-id-37</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/54d46b2ad3b9003b05284ac6a3b1ddf3-37.html#unique-entry-id-37</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Great infrastructure wasted by the useless USA homeland security immigration management. I flew into Chicago this week and unfortunately I have another flight booked to go through this chaos in another few weeks but in future I will avoid it like the plague.  Two hours to get through immigration and only then because I asked 100 plus people if I could pass them to make my connecting flight. A stupid set up. Dreadful management and on top of that an interfering officer instructed all US passport holders to bypass the queue for those in transit and come in front of us so that we made no progress at all even though the US passport area already had fewer people queuing and more immigration stations open. There were three area in the &ldquo;system&rdquo; US or green card holder, Direct to the city and in transit. However, neither of the non US queues were managed, so those with transit flights were stuck behind people who were going directly into the city with no flight connections to make. There are lots of small airports in the US that accept international flyers it is best to go in through them.Leaving Chicago was no better. The first and business lanes were full of economy passengers so it took over an hour to get to security check. The cost of doing business in the US is not worth it. Compare it to China I can usually be on the road waiting for my pick up in less than 20mins from the plane arriving on stand. The time to exit is equally quick. Even the experience in Terminal five which can sometimes be OK was marred by the security staff stopping and making all the customers wait while they watched two lady security staff having an argument. How stupid can it get when you are trying to reach a flight with a short time to have to stand in a hot sticky queue after a 9 hour flight to have to see thirty security staff ignore all their work and just watch and laugh at two idiots arguing about their work. How great it looked to all the non British travellers standing their arriving in the UK to see this as their first experience of the UK.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Lodz&#x2c; Poland</title><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2012-03-05T10:38:00+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/ae0e5c8d4727f2502838b37529c0364d-36.html#unique-entry-id-36</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/ae0e5c8d4727f2502838b37529c0364d-36.html#unique-entry-id-36</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The weeks started very badly when I arrived in Terminal five for a BA flight to be told I had to transfer and thus go through extra security to terminal three, which is probably the worst terminal in heathrow. BAA think it is a sauna and a restaurant combined not a waiting place for a plane. I was cross with BA as they did not say on the web that the flight to Warsaw has now moved to terminal 3. If they had I would never have used their service to fly to Warsaw. I could have gone several different routes out of Edinburgh to avoid this chaos.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Milan and lenno&#x2c; Italy</title><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2012-02-27T10:37:00+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/b46022798dbd78456c7e5db89436e038-35.html#unique-entry-id-35</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/b46022798dbd78456c7e5db89436e038-35.html#unique-entry-id-35</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[TOC facilitated project to improve dramatically On Time performance and the completion of a Jonah programme.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Beijing&#x2c; China</title><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2012-02-24T11:42:51+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/e06884e5b99c2af22cc5ffaeb3a2647c-34.html#unique-entry-id-34</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/e06884e5b99c2af22cc5ffaeb3a2647c-34.html#unique-entry-id-34</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[TOC facilitated operational excellence management development session using TOC Thinking Processes to develop business plan]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Hanoi&#x2c; Vietnam</title><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2012-02-17T11:42:33+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/e64f68bfa39483bda37ff9ae8d6452d3-33.html#unique-entry-id-33</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/e64f68bfa39483bda37ff9ae8d6452d3-33.html#unique-entry-id-33</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[TOC facilitated operational excellence management development session using TOC Thinking Processes to develop business plan. <br />The flights too and back with air France were very good especially the crew. Changing the ticket for an earlier flight home was dreadfully managed by the KLM team who I had to buy the ticket from as at  the time air France&rsquo;s reservation system was not working. As always the KLM people lecture me about their policies and timing - they only work 9 to 5 CET so the fact you are in Hanoi is not of interest to them.  Yes you can change the ticket but we cannot say how much it will cost. When eventually they decide to tell me about the cost they fail to transfer the payment and both my original flight home and the new one are cancelled. It took me hours and lots of expensive phone calls to change a flight so I could be in the office for two days instead of a few hours before I go to Beijing,]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Vadodara&#x2c; India - Zurich&#x2c; Switzerland </title><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2012-02-10T11:41:38+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/da983b8df8b3dc83fc77f139e9bf6f6a-32.html#unique-entry-id-32</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/da983b8df8b3dc83fc77f139e9bf6f6a-32.html#unique-entry-id-32</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[TOC facilitated operational excellence management development session using TOC Thinking Processes to develop simple improvement plan.<br /><br />Initial session with a new customer to explore how to use TOC to help develop a new product.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Bradford and Office</title><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2012-02-03T11:38:42+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/7dfb3b6c2643f17192ce1e2d7f07e9f1-31.html#unique-entry-id-31</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/7dfb3b6c2643f17192ce1e2d7f07e9f1-31.html#unique-entry-id-31</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[CCMP project progress and TOC personal development sessions with 2 senior managers.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Milan&#x2c; Lenno&#x2c; Italy 2 Custmers</title><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2012-01-27T11:38:21+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/c92581be203d91ca000a1ce25524b4fa-30.html#unique-entry-id-30</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/c92581be203d91ca000a1ce25524b4fa-30.html#unique-entry-id-30</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Module three of a Dedicated Jonah Programme.<br /><br />Initial working session including TOC Knowledge transfer and application of that knowledge to start the improvement process.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Brno&#x2c; Czech and Zurich/Baden Switzerland&#x2c; 2 Custmers</title><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2012-01-20T11:37:12+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/ad8bf19786fe7283cc4d220d011337d7-29.html#unique-entry-id-29</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/ad8bf19786fe7283cc4d220d011337d7-29.html#unique-entry-id-29</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[TOC facilitated operational excellence management development session using TOC Thinking Processes to develop business plan.<br /><br />Knowledge transfer to NPD team and application of the knowledge to develop a project plan for the completion of their new innovative product. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>TOC Intro Finland</title><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2012-01-13T11:36:44+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/9ae854d0530d79fb9a767c7f3fd3a328-28.html#unique-entry-id-28</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/9ae854d0530d79fb9a767c7f3fd3a328-28.html#unique-entry-id-28</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[TOC knowledge transfer to a large group of highly qualified and experienced internal consultants of a major global company.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>New Year and Office</title><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2012-01-06T11:35:39+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/f2b07c8fd27f5cf4b2cf9d880e086626-27.html#unique-entry-id-27</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/f2b07c8fd27f5cf4b2cf9d880e086626-27.html#unique-entry-id-27</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Two day celebration of "Scottish New Year".

Stay in Leela Hotel<br /><br />The best bit of flying to Mumbai for business is hotels like the Leela. They meet you with a fantastic car and take you directly to the hotel. The Leela is especially good. The hotel seems really to be Indian. It is fantastically comfortable cool and has a great swimming pool. Like all Mumbai hotels it is a little expensive but a night there as a break between flying and work is brilliant for recovery.<br /><br />A lot of our time is consumed in travel, mostly flying but also by train and car so it is important to make sure it is either a productive time or a time when we can catch up on sleep and fix the time zone changes. This was a business class flight (well at least from London) in a recently refurbished 747.  Basically, a good flight but not the best crew I have flown with. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Milan - Developing new operations strategy - TOC facilitated session</title><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2011-10-03T12:28:16+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/10a0df90821392a28def4b94638302f0-2.html#unique-entry-id-2</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/10a0df90821392a28def4b94638302f0-2.html#unique-entry-id-2</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Developing new operations strategy - TOC facilitated session<br />This was a three day session using the TOC Prerequisite Tree process to develop outline steps.<br />The top team of this company came together from all over Europe to identify the changes they need to put in place to develop a dramatic increase in their competitive edge.

Firstly, I needed to drive from Milan into the Italian hills and find my hotel in the dark. This was more fun than I thought as I ended up in a new Smart car with and eco system, which was eventually revealed to travel 250 km on only 11 litre of petrol costing in total &euro;17. My old Jag would have required &pound;65 (&euro;75)! Secondly, and of course more important, was that this was a potential new customer in a new sector and completely unknown to me.<br /><br />The review was very interesting, it is rare to find a &rsquo;T plant&rsquo; in Europe now. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Dedicated Jonah</title><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2011-11-22T11:11:35+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/b49ff28b1ad19e2a00c4b76aada1fee4-0.html#unique-entry-id-0</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.johntripp.co.uk/files/b49ff28b1ad19e2a00c4b76aada1fee4-0.html#unique-entry-id-0</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[This week was mostly focused on the first module of two employees of an Italian customer based in Milan. ]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
