Our Guiding Values Help you create value for your customers. What distinguishes you from your competitors is your ability to deliver a higher quality of service in the eyes of your customers. Pull not Push. Good customer service is designed around customer demands rather than expecting customers to fit the organization’s processes. You can design an optimal response to your customer’s needs if you understand what matters to your customers, the variety in these responses and how predictable they are. The results are lower costs and improved customer satisfaction. If you want customers to pull value from your system you need to understand the nature of demand coming into your system. Act on the system not the people. Acting on the system is the best leverage organizations have if they want to improve performance. W. Edwards Deming said 95% of performance is related to the system and only 5% is related to your people. To get massive improvement, we will show you how to act on the system. Outside in – customer approach Vanguard Model – tried and tested model that delivers results. Vanguard Consulting Ltd. has pioneered the translation of Taiichi Ohno’s ideas behind the Toyota Production System – for Service Organizations and we are the United States representative of the Vanguard Method©. The Vanguard Method© helps service organizations avoid the pitfalls of ‘tools’ developed for ‘lean manufacturing’ since they do not translate well for organizations like yours – Service Organizations. You’ll be engaged in a unique Method for Service Improvement. Unlike the traditional ‘Plan- Do-Check-Act’ model we believe that the place to start is ‘Check’.Do > Plan” width=”274″ height=”262″ border=”0″/> The ‘Check’ process helps you understand and see the ‘what and why’ of current performance, build the case for change and redesign your service ‘flows’ to only do the ‘value work’. Your team is actively involved in carrying out ‘Check’ and in a short time they will see what is wrong and will want to fix it. It is management thinking that determines the system (how the work works) and the system determines performance. Change the way you think about the design and management of work and you can change the system. When you design your system to do ‘what matters’ to your customers, you will improve service, reduce costs and increase staff morale.
