Outside The Box Anyone?

February 15, 2012 by Corinne Rodrigues 90 Comments

Outside The Box Anyone?

In Los Angeles, California, a luxurious high-rise apartment building was on the brink of bankruptcy. Tenant after tenant turned in notice and moved out. To owners of the building, the mass exodus made no sense. Their beautiful, well-kept apartments offered a sound bargain in a safe neighborhood. So why were people abandoning what should have been a renter’s paradise?

The building’s management company hired a problem-solving group to get to the bottom of the mystery. After interviewing residents and former residents, the problem-solving team presented its findings: People were moving out because the apartment elevators were too slow.

A team of troubleshooters flew in to solve the problem. They gathered cost and labor estimates on several options, from repairing the old elevators to putting in new ones. But every option proved too expensive. Defeated, the management company had just about decided to sell the building, when the youngest member of the team took a creative look at the problem.

The real problem, he suggested, wasn’t the elevators. The real problem was that tenants got bored waiting for the elevators. His solution?

Entertain tenants who were waiting for the elevator. Install flatmonitor computer screens that flashed the day’s top headlines, weather, sports results, and even a trivia question or two. Pipe music into the elevator waiting areas. Add tasteful yet provocative paintings and sculptures to the waiting area to stimulate interest and discussion.

His creative solution worked. The tenants, busy reading the computer monitor, soothed by relaxing music, or admiring the art, quit complaining. The exodus ceased. The building was saved. And one creative problem solver had made his mark.

From : Problem Solving (Career Skills Library)

I recalled this story when I was recently struggling to fix some issues with my blog. I also recalled this post of mine – Hiccups. I managed to import all my old posts here and ensure that Aweber stopped sending out old posts by the hundreds 😉

Presently I’m still working on moving old comments to past posts. I can see the comments on the Disqus panel in my blog but I don’t see them on the relevant posts. I’m working on it…. and I’m certain I’ll find a way out.

Have you recently come up with an outside the box solution to a problem – – yours or someone else’s? I would love you to share your story here.

May you be inspired – every day!

      Which means you can’t get inside it, @7fb89d8628d78dfa927fb398e7645bdc:disqus  – so you must be thinking outside it. If you find the key – throw it away!

    Oh you know Corinne…sometimes, I feel so settled with the things I can do but  my superiors see that I could do a lot more. Recently, I’ve been given a task to make ppt presentations for my boss. It has always been my brother who did them for me but this time, the boss gave the project directly to me.It ate up most of my time but I was able to put things together and not only that, I also learned to create a video and  convert files and music.

    Your post reminded me so much of Patch Adams 🙂 It takes creativity and imagination to get outside the box 😛

    I love brainstorming which does not necessarily solve the problem. But I enjoy looking at things from different perspectives although this is quite hard when emotions are involved. Its always astonishing to find how a tough problem can be solved with a simple solution. Stopped by after a long time. Love your new look, Corinne!

      Such a good point, Sukanya. Yes, brainstorming may not always solve the problem but it certainly puts us in the right frame of mind. Setting emotions aside can be a big problem, but that’s where being cool headed and mature comes in. Thank you for stopping by and for the compliment. I’m still getting used to this new space!

    The way to think outside the box is to eliminate the box completely! I sent both my children to a school that had no testing, no grading, no competition at all; no textbooks, no desks, no shoes! They turned the box upside down and out fell children who grew up tolerant, cooperative, loving.

    Hi, Corinne! ~

    The elevator story is perfectly in sync with what I am currently working on in my own life…

    Realizing I’m perpetually pummeled by (at least) low grade stress, like waiting for the slow elevator, I am experimenting with new stress-busting techniques using simple sense stimulation techniques.  A hanky spritzed with Mr. C’s cologne tucked in my purse, the feel of prayer beads in my pocket, mini-vision boards I can carry with me are some of the possibilities I’m playing with to calm me throughout the day.

    Good luck with your web challenges — of course, we know they are mostly growth exercises ;-X

    Thinking outside of the box requires that all preconceived ideas be laid aside. I have a hard time doing this, but when I do, and I find a unique approach; I get a huge thrill out of it! 
    Great post Corinne!

    Corinne, I love this post.  Sometimes what we think is the problem… really isn’t the problem at all.  Sometimes we’re working overtime thinking in the wrong direction.  Here’s the question I’m learning to ask:  Where’s the opportunity in this?  It’s amazing the answers sometimes you get if you change your perspective.

Honestly I’m facing something right now where I thought I was thinking outside the box, but I haven’t received the results I’m looking for just yet. I won’t give up though! Thanks for this Corinne. I am on the right track. I just know it!

    I always enjoy reading stories of this nature, because we all have a different and unique approach to solving any problem.  I wouldn’t automatically think people would choose to move (in large numbers) from a building because of a slow elevator, but we’re all different.  I’d probably take it as a nudge from God/Universe/Spirit that I should give thought to using the stairs and getting some cardio in each day!  I always feel happy when I visit here, partly because of that beautiful smile of yours and also because I just enjoy your approach to life in general.

    Much love to you, sweet girl!

Sometimes I think people wonder if i even know where the box is…lol. I love pushing the limits, chalenging the norms and being creative. Now applying that to me directly is a bit different…I can get stuck there..

    I am not sure I have ever thought along normal lines. It gets me into trouble sometimes, but Randy has taught me not to worry and to do what works for me, not what works for others. I had to think outside the box to get sober and maintain sobriety. Not that I am unique in anyway, but because I have such a natural instinct to rebel against conventions. This is a wonderful post, good luck with your blog. <3<3<3

    Love that story about the elevator !!

    Creativity is everything.

    I instantly thought of PInterest and the LA health craze…
    and saw exercise techniques and score cards with Ikea pencils on top and bottom of the stairs next to the elevators… 🙂

    Oh, our wonderful minds.

    Very interesting story! Thinking outside box is something that I love to do, finding new fresh ideas is what keeps our world grow and become a better place to live… Thank you Corinne! 🙂

    So the real problem was a short attention span? We must entertain the masses!

    I wouldn’t have associated routine with you, Andy. Perhaps you reserve your creativity for your poetry? Good luck with the stepping out…I’m sure you’re wife will egg you on 🙂

    I already see your blog as a  reflection of you….It’s great to know that it’s only a part of who you are! We all get stuck with ourselves sometimes, figuring it out is the best part of living I think!

    That was pretty cool. I can’t say that I’m thinking outside the box… maybe sometimes, but mostly I like to lead a simplistic way of life.

      I think it takes a great deal of out of the box thinking to lead a simple life 😉
