As of January 1st 2012 I am who I was in 2011, but with a new job: Manager Customer Intelligence and Brand Management (OHRA). And, what makes the story even better: I get to continue to work together with Coníche. I will also be sitting on the Coníche Board of Inspiration!
A year of blogging in lists, tweets, comments & a big Thank You!
Managers in Customer Services don't need more or new technology, but what is it they do need (to do)? Here's my take for 2012 and beyond!
I received an email from a Contact Center Manager I think everyone should read. The e-mail, which I publish almost entirely, speaks for itself.
here's an overview of the best read posts on my blog in the first 6 months of 2011. Check them out!
Yesterday evening I played around with the canvas and came up with my own Value Co-Creation Canvas.. It's far from finished or perfect, but I believe it's good enough to present to you and ask you for feedback. I think it should be a self-explanatory canvas in the end, but am sure it isn't yet. So please ask all questions you might have. It will help me improve it.
To date, the best proxy for good and effective Customer Services (operations), has been set by Bill Price, with his book "The Best Service is no Service". I believe we need a more fundamental change though, in our perspective to finally start having a real and sustainable impact on business results, not just sitting on the cost-side of the equation.
I would like to explain so by elaborating on the "Five perspectives on Customer Services" we need today...
