Ticket Checking @ Cinemas


Isn't it time to automate ticket checking at cinemas especially multiplexes? For example in Singapore, with 5 movie categories...G, PG13, NC16, M18 and R21, random checks are being done to ensure right age group are allowed for a particular movie. 

The current checking method has two considerations to be noted which is not delivering the expected outcome:
  1. The check is left to the eyes of the checker, who mostly is limited to check based on physical appearance.
  2. With most cinemas being multiplexes, the checker checks at a common point after which are the movie halls. This might allow the restricted person to go to inappropriate hall.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
By automating this process closer to the hall entrance would lead to expected outcome and have the following advantages:
  1. For country like Singapore where rule by law is governing philosophy, this will ensure adherence to law. This would overcome the checker's judgmental limitations by physical appearance of the movie goer.
  2. It will relieve the ticket checkers from mundane jobs and allow them to think on different level, upskill or reskill themselves and prepare for future economy.
  3. Harnessing the digital wave, Singapore will position itself higher amongst the developed nations.
  4. This automation could also reduce issue of physical tickets and acts contributing to be part of sustainable workspace.
With technology advancements and economic upliftment, time to rethink way businesses operate. This approach could be applied in most countries where multiplexes are in operation.

Breaking the Framework Ceiling

Business schools and management books are flooded with frameworks for various processes. Each claim to work and we all love to know what works, because all of us want to be winners. This makes most business school students, management professionals, businessmen (especially the small business leaders) diligently follow such frameworks. Many apply and are astonished when they find it does not work as taught and think (sometimes are made to) it is they who did not implement it properly. Most are oblivious to the two limitations regarding to implementing frameworks.     First is the clarity to what and how a framework works . Framework is a basic structure that is underlying to the concept. Kind off skeleton to body. We all have similar skeletal features but not same. This difference is what many fail to understand when it comes to frameworks. The context in which these frameworks are applied may vary and hence their output is not as intended. Most available business framewor...
