CX, Emotional Culture, and Wellbeing deck programmes

The CX Deck is is a great way to engage people at all levels in the organisation to build an agreed commitment to a better customer experience for your customers. Everyone serves the customer either directly or indirectly. The CX Deck is a great way to remove the resistance that often exists between customer serving staff who know CX is their role and others who think it is someone else’s problem. As we have proven with so many organisations, CX outcomes are not just a measure of the performance of the customer service team but a barometer of overall company health.

This card game provides a “corporate health check” and assists you and your organisation to become more customer-centric by developing structured conversations about who your customers are, what you know and don’t know about them, how you want customers to feel when they engage with your business and just as importantly how do you want your staff to feel when they have interacted with your customers.

This program is fundamental to accelerating your journey to CX Maturity

The Emotional Culture Deck is a uniquely powerful way to create human conversations about what really matters in the workplace. The game facilitates face-to-face human conversations about what matters. It nudges vulnerability. builds empathy. creates connections and fosters trust within teams. It's the ultimate toolkit for more successful teams and workplaces. As we seek to adapt to the era of work from anywhere, workplace culture has taken on even greater significance for everyone and every workplace as they strive to maintain engagement and a great place to work

The Wellbeing Deck is a great way to help participants tap into their own insights to create their own definition of what it means to feel low, to thrive and what it takes to get there. By identifying th stimuli, they can take positive steps to focus on the things that can contribute to an improved wellbeing which is always more powerful when it theirs to own. The workshop helps break taboos and tokenism and lets you create and action your own definition of what wellbeing truly means to you and how you can improve it.

Operational Excellence means attaining a position of advantage in the execution of business processes

It is typically characterised by:

 ·       Customer experience levels exceeding industry standards

·       Sustained higher financial returns for Shareholder/Stakeholder

·       Higher levels of staff engagement

·       Total organisational commitment to continual improvement

Whilst OE has its origins in other business methodologies such as Quality, Six Sigma and Lean, in our view there are several significant advantages in the move to successful OE programmes we have experienced or contributed to previously.

Many methodologies are anchored in what we often refer to as left brain or rational thinking whereas research is increasingly telling us that more social or right brain thinking is required in order to deliver balanced and effective outcomes.

OE accepts that we may  make mistakes, but we will have the structure to learn from them the first time, supports (depends upon) empowerment and frontline decision making, accepting that good process design can allow that, places a larger responsibility on staff and empowered leaders to drive the programs

For this reason we seek to align our approach to the proven principles of the highly acclaimed Shingo Model:

  1. Respect Every Individual

  2. Lead with Humility

  3. Seek Perfection

  4. Embrace Scientific Thinking

  5. Focus on Process

  6. Assure Quality at the Source

  7. Flow & Pull Value

  8. Think Systemically

  9. Create Constancy of Purpose

  10. Create Value for the Customer

Aligning systems, processes, employees and customers is critical to the success of every enterprise. Our unique framework has evolved over the past 25 years and is constantly adapted to meet the rapidly changing business environment. We continue to collaborate with our colleagues at BBB Advisory to identify opportunities for clients and deliver these programmes.
