Overview

With increasing demand, growing expectations and customer satisfaction for public services continuing to fall each year, it is imperative that these services listen to their consumer base, take accountability and transform their reputation. It is essential for public sector organisations to find innovative ways to improve service delivery.

Effectively utilising customer insight can help you design and deliver services that are more relevant, responsive and respectful to service users, ensuring that they meet or exceed their standards. When organisations deliver personalised, one-to-one communications and experiences, both customers and organisations can see better outcomes.

Attend the Utilising Customer Insight to Improve Service Delivery CPD event to bring the following benefits to your organisation:

  • Enhance customer satisfaction, loyalty, accessibility and trust

  • Reduce customer churn, negative word-of-mouth and reputational damage

  • Improve service quality, efficiency and effectiveness

  • Increase innovation, adaptability and resilience

  • Demonstrate accountability, transparency and professionalism

Customer insight can also help you identify and address any gaps, issues or opportunities for improvement in your service delivery and communicate effectively with them.

Apply behavioral science techniques and examine evidence-based decision making, focusing on customer research and insight techniques to drive change and improve public services.

Learning objectives

  • Identify the information you need to create the best customer service, based on what’s in your ability to change

  • Identify and overcome the problems present in most research

  • Gain techniques to better appreciate how your customer interacts with your service

  • Learn how to effectively implement customer journey mapping
