  21. LESSONS FOR INNOVATION IN CITY MM • Changes in the legal framework – new parking zones, access to city center; increased taxes for second-hand cars, etc. • Find a way to make money – 3 parking zones; annual parking taxes • Look at the whole value chain, where does you innovation fit in – if we want improved quality of PT, we have to solve traffic and parking problems • Double your planning. Your counterpart (city) may not be as fast as you • Know you target group – research necessary to be conducted regularly. • Forget your offer! look at the demand. You will need to adapt your idea accordingly – the enlarged blue zone has shown its relevance • Not only the director is important. Employees will use your product – BENEFIT just focus on employees • The innovation can be in small things – we started with RISING THE AWARENESS AND INTRODUCTION OF THE TERM ‘MM” • Government, create an innovation friendly climate – GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE MT AND MUNICIPALITIES ECOMM 2010, Graz, 4-6.05.2010
