Core Concepts

BMG343J4 22

Fundamental Rules of Customer Service

Remember:

• To always treat the customer as you would like to be treated

• if you don’t look after the customer, someone else will• If in doubt, under promise and over deliver• Nothing is gained by winning an argument, but losing a

customer• The reputation of the company is in the hands of the

individual.

BMG343J4 23

Quality

• “Quality in a product or service is not what the supplier puts in. It is what the customer gets out and is willing to pay for. A product is not quality because it is hard to make and costs a lot of money, as manufacturers typically believe. This is incompetence. Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes Quality.”

(Drucker, P. (1968) The Practice of Management.)

BMG343J4 24

ORIENTATION DISCUSSION ACTIVITY1 Is there a good understanding within

the organisation of the needs, wants and behaviour patterns of clients/customers?

2 Is your organisation results-driven or people-directed?

3 Does the SMT see itself as the organisation’s senior strategist or strategic ‘champion’?

4 Does the organisation have a results-driven mission?

5 Do the organisation’s strategies reflect the realities of the external environment?

6 Is there any one function perceived as having more important than others?

7 Is the organisation organised in such a way that it can be responsive to stakeholder changes?

8 Is the Management Information System (MIS) well designed and operating effectively?

9 Do the organisation’s managers make full use of MIS in their decision making?

10 Are costs v monies recovered analysed to ensure effectiveness?

11 Is there a strong link between the MIS and the stakeholders?

12 Does the organisation deploy staff with the appropriate skills and competences?

13 Are effectiveness and efficiency recognised as the responsibility of the entire organisation?

14 Are decisions made in a well co-ordinated way and executed in an integrated manner?

Taylor’s empirical model

BMG343J4 39

BMG343J4 40

For Duck . . . (Duck. J. (2003) The Change Monster.)

“Change is inescapably an emotional human process that encompasses the whole gambit of emotions

- fear, curiosity, exhaustion, loyalty, paranoia, depression, optimism, rage, revelation, delight, love........”

BMG343J4 41

Consider Duck’s change model: -

• What are staff likely to be feeling, experiencing and doing at each of the five stages?

• What can managers do at each stage to make the overall change as stress-free and successful as possible?

• What impact does the stage of change have on communication?
