Set acceptance criteria and sampling for service team quality training on statistical grounds.
Designing Training Programmes for Customer Service Teams on Quality Standards
Build a working method for service team quality training that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
Variation in service team quality training is the enemy; averages conceal it. Improvement in quality training that is not measured tends to be reversed quietly. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this strand of quality and productivity management. Plans for service team quality training often fail at the handover point between functions. The programme suits teams tackling the practice within quality and productivity management together as readily as individuals attending alone. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in quality training rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Mature organisations treat service team quality training as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. It treats quality training as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the wider quality and productivity management agenda that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
