3 ideas to get more goals in football games and make people happier

EURO 2008 is over and the players from Spain are European champions. During the tournament, I observed that emotions - from players as well as from fans/guests - are not least lived out when goals are scored. For example, fans clap their hands and cheer for the team scoring a goal. Many people get up from their chairs, and some even start to sing, dance and/or hug the person(s) standing next to them. In other words: Goals scored by players contribute to making the experience for guests better. Goals are positive surprises that make people feel happier and smile. So in order to satisfy customer needs even better, how about changing the rules of the game, so more goals are scored? Here are 3 ideas:

Idea # 1: Make the goals bigger so it's easier for football players to score goals.

Idea # 2: Make the football field smaller, for example less long and/or less wide.

Idea # 3: Play with 2 balls. This idea may be a bit wild :-)

Do you have other ideas?

Impressions from Ree Park in Denmark

I visited Ree Park in Denmark earlier this month. I had a great time there. Ree Park is an interesting Experience Economy contribution. Here are some impressions from the day, I spent there: The lemurs in the park look really cute and come really close to guests. The Cheetahs are really agile and can run more than 100 km per hour. This is what the cheetahs had for lunch. Listening to the guide talk to the large number of people watching the feeding of the cheetahs, I learned that it's horse meat. The white powder on the meat is, as I understood it, vitamins. Here's a coke machine in the park that is adapted to the surroundings. Good innovation. I think it’s a good idea to split up the park in different continents. That way, it’s easy for guests to learn about on which continents different animals live.

Trust

One of the most innovative innovation communities I have come across is Innov8rs . I experience that both in terms of how technology is used and how moderation is done, Innov8rs is moving well forward. This week, Innov8rs Connect, a free online event, takes place. The first webinar, I tuned in for, focused on trust. And it certainly did not disappoint. Both the expert, Philipp Kristian Diekhoener, and the moderator, Hans Balmaekers, conducted a wonderful jam session, during which questions, ideas and knowledge ping-ponged back and forth so well that it sounded like great music in my ears. After the webinar, I was still so excited about what happened that I decided to update research I did about  Trust  some time ago.
