Clients are demanding faster response times, greater flexibility and excellent service for customers, suppliers and internal staff. Yet companies striving to exceed expectations are often blocked by the ineffectiveness of their service or administrative processes. The symptoms are plentiful: problems communicating long response and approval times ■ numerous information transfers causing delays ■ inefficiencies in “functional” structures ■ increasingly complex processes ■ difficulty monitoring processes due to regulatory pressures ■ ■
Who should attend? This workshop is recommended for leadership teams at all levels in an organization that are looking to increase engagement, help sustain lean initiatives, and provide insights specific to their business or industry.
