Most services are the result of many evolutionary iterations, adapting to suit the requirements of the time. The consequence is that services are often poor from a customer’s perspective and costly for the business. Generally, most of the issues are well understood, with many opinions on potential root causes and solutions!
What are Service Reviews?
- Critical reviews of current or developmental services, identifying specific & systemic causes of inadequate performance (ie. service design deficiencies and the business processes responsible for generating them)
- Actions are agreed to contain, modify, or re-design
- We tailor each Service Review to suit the specific issues facing your business
- Service Reviews are completed with you, or your team
- They typically take one to four weeks to complete, depending on the complexity of the service, or services being analysed
Why we get results
Services evolve attempting to satisfy ever changing needs.
Unfortunately, over time, they bear no resemblance to the way they were originally conceived and can be ineffective and inefficient
- We review your services from a fresh, unbiased, perspective enabling us to challenge the logic and rationale behind the services as well as performance.
- We have substantial experience conducting Service Reviews across many different industries
- We use a wide variety of tools and techniques to gain deep understanding how and why the services work, as well as their flaws and inefficiencies.
- The Services are ‘critiqued’ using a combination of logic, comparison and experience and actions are agreed to contain, modify or re-design, as appropriate.
- Your people are a key part of the Service Review. We engage with them as much as possible to ensure ownership of the review and results. This ensures that they believe in the results and are committed to any resulting change programmes.
