    Achdan Harris, Senior Director, Guest Facing Applications at Langham Hospitality Group

    The travel and hospitality industry is a vibrant and ever-evolving domain, offering unique challenges and opportunities for growth. Through my diverse career spanning hospitality management, IT, operations, and people leadership, I have gained valuable insights that I believe can benefit other professionals in this dynamic field. In this article, I aim to share some key learning and experiences that can help drive success in the travel and hospitality domain.

    Embrace Digital Transformation

    In today's digital age, embracing technology is no longer an option but a necessity for staying relevant in the hospitality industry. As senior director of guest facing applications, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of digital tools in enhancing guest experiences and optimizing operations. Embrace digital transformation to enhance guest satisfaction, streamline processes, and gain a competitive edge.

    Guest-Centricity is Paramount

    At the heart of the hospitality industry lies the guest. Every decision, from application selection to process optimization, should be driven by the goal of enhancing the guest experience. Creating a single view of the guest through seamless integration of systems like property management system (PMS), point of sale (POS), and CRM allows for personalized service and targeted marketing efforts.

    Selecting the Right Partners

    Selecting the right technology partners and vendors is crucial to the success of any project. As a professional actively involved in vendor selection processes, I understand the significance of finding partners who not only provide cutting-edge solutions but also comprehend the unique requirements of the hospitality industry.

    Global Implementations and Standardization

    For hotel chains and organizations with a global presence, system implementations and standardization are key challenges.

    Coordinating efforts across various locations while accounting for local requirements requires meticulous planning and effective communication with stakeholders. A well-executed global rollout can improve operational efficiency and guest satisfaction.

    Pre-Opening Support

    In the pre-opening phase of new hotels, effective support and preparation are crucial. As someone who has been involved in supporting pre-opening tasks for various hotels, I understand the significance of setting up systems like PMS, POS, and restaurant reservation systems smoothly to ensure a seamless guest experience from the outset.

    Invest in Training and Skill Development

    In a rapidly changing industry, investing in employee training and skill development is essential. I have trained hotel staff and internal teams in using various hospitality systems effectively. Empower your teams with the knowledge and tools they need to provide exceptional service to guests.

    Stay Ahead of Industry Trends

    Keeping a pulse on emerging technologies and industry trends is crucial to staying ahead in the competitive landscape. I had the opportunity to interact with cutting-edge technology, enhancing my understanding of its application in the hospitality sector. Continuously seek opportunities for innovation to elevate guest experiences and operational efficiency.

    Embracing technology, investing in training, and collaborating with the right partners are all essential elements for elevating the guest experience and driving success in this dynamic industry

    Communication and Collaboration

    In a multi-faceted industry like travel and hospitality, effective communication and collaboration are indispensable. As an application strategy and architecture expert, I have worked closely with business stakeholders, corporate departments, and external vendors to ensure seamless integration and smooth project execution. Foster a culture of open communication and collaboration to drive successful outcomes.

    Customer Relationship Management

    Building strong customer relationships is fundamental for success in the hospitality industry. As the custodian of core guest-facing systems, I have seen how applications selected and managed appropriately can enhance the organization's ability to create a single view of the guest. Utilizing data and insights allows for personalized services and targeted marketing efforts.

    Conclusion

    The travel and hospitality domain presents an exciting journey filled with opportunities for innovation and growth. My experiences have taught me the significance of guest-centricity, digital transformation, effective communication, and staying ahead of industry trends. Embracing technology, investing in training, and collaborating with the right partners are all essential elements for elevating the guest experience and driving success in this dynamic industry.
