performance to become the benchmark on customer satisfaction
Loyalty• The majority of our customers
don’t actively promote KPN business market
Poor BSS/OSS design and performance is a root cause for customer complaints (no FTR delivery, long lead times, miscommunication)

Next Generation OSS development: The Way of Working
• Informal working methods and bespoke tooling are numerous. Implementation of new BSS/OSS are moments of truth to change this way of working without compromise. Constant communication on required change is key ...
• Enable staff to contribute from the very start to new way of working. Realisation of quick wins are instrumental to build staff morale
• We widely employ Lean Six Sigma to learn quality improvement from a customer perspective and boost problem solving skills of our staff
• “Old OSS never die, they simply fade away…”
Implement temporary tooling to accomodate staff while new IT is being developed.
– Our early trials with Corizon show encouraging potential
