Your company may have thoughtfully screened and hired exceptional staff who authentically value customers and show it every day. However, if these star contributors work within systems that bring regular barriers to exceptional experiences, mediocrity will prevail and stars will go work somewhere else.
Consider a few paths to understand which policies and procedures block exceptional customer experiences and go after them. There may have been a good reason when a system was originally put in place but impact to customers is important. You can interview front line staff to ask them which policies or procedures prompt the most headaches, you can scan customer complaints and you can regularly test your own systems as a customer yourself to see what barriers need to be removed.
Book Excerpt
Unleashing the Chief Moment Officers
Although the quality of the talent is the most important factor in any organization, if even the most passionate performers are placed in poorly designed or ineffective systems, the systems will eventually extinguish that light. It’s important to step back and regularly scan accepted practices that can be cumbersome or downright stupid, and may diminish the ability to delight customers.
