Consulting and advisory services

Our consulting services range from strategic customer service reviews to support for major customer experience change programmes.  We can act as an external catalyst to customer service improvement initiatives, help drive transformations and provide ongoing assistance with periodic visits, customer service 'health-checks' and executive coaching.

CTMA's consulting services help organisations transition to a customer-driven business model

 

We help organisations who wish to build a self-sustaining, customer-driven business model that strives to optimise customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Finding opportunities:

Customer service assessment

CTMA's customer service assessments provide a strategic external view of an organisation's current customer service practices, its strengths and opportunities for improvement.  An assessment examines customer interaction in four key groups of business activity:

  • Doing the Business

  • Responding to Customers

  • Learning from Customers

  • Innovation and Change.

 
The assessment is typically conducted through a series of site visits and interviews with a cross-section of staff and management.  Following these meetings we present our findings to senior management, together with a set of specific recommendations.

The assessment is sometimes conducted in parallel with a CTMA customer satisfaction and loyalty baseline research study.  The quantitative findings from the study can often compliment and arm the assessment with customer-driven economic imperatives.

 

Changing what you do:

Customer service initiatives

CTMA can provide support in a number of roles during the planning, piloting and rollout of customer service improvement initiatives.  In conjunction with our management workshops and seminars we can provide thought leadership, guidance and external quality assurance to steering groups and project teams and help with solution design and deployment.

Ongoing support

A truly successful customer-driven business model is one that is self-sustaining and self-regenerating.  But even the best executed business improvements can under-perform or fail if they become diluted with time or if their original drivers change.  To champion this process, CTMA can provide ongoing assistance with periodic visits, attend steering group meetings, act as an 'external provocateur', conduct customer service 'health-checks' and provide executive mentoring.

Tracking results and managing improvement:

Ongoing satisfaction tracking

The results of customer service improvement initiatives need to be measured and tracked against agreed success criteria.  CTMA's customer satisfaction tracking services support an organisation's customer-driven transition and ongoing compliance.  They provide a valuable ongoing measure of customer service effectiveness and point to where further fine-tuning and adjustment may be necessary.
