Customer Focus Assessment

Our Customer Focus Assessment helps you to understand if you are doing what really matter for your customers. We have worked with a range of organisations to review how the actual customer experience compares to what senior management teams believe takes place on the ground.

Using our Customer Focus Wheel tool, we can provide a framework that will enable you to understand and manage customer demand more effectively. This will thus improve the efficiency of your local public services.

    Our Customer Focus Assessment is based on four dimensions, that help to answer the following questions:

    Customer Vision
    Can your organisation demonstrate that your vision and mission truly relates to the way you work and operate, and that everything is customer focused?

    Customer Insight Metrics
    Can your organisation demonstrate it knows who your customers are, what matters to them and subsequently has the right measures to help improve?

    Customer Centric Processes
    Can your organisation demonstrate that you only do what matters to customers and can identify and eliminate non-value work?

    Customer Service Personality
    Can your organisation demonstrate it has the right culture and behaviours to be a high performing organisation?

    How can the Customer Focus Assessment help you?

    Our diagnostic review is based on evidence obtained through observing direct customer demand, interviews with staff and a review of the organisation’s strategy and policies. It has the following benefits:

    • It gives advice to help address the root causes of failure demand coming into the organisation to create spare capacity to add more value for customers
    • It provides recommendations from the report provide suggestions for how high volume, low complexity demand can be handled more effectively, reducing wasteful activity and cost to the organisation
    • Observations are provided on organisational values and behaviours and how this affects the customer experience, using real examples
    • The report highlights good practice in the organisation
