Course Overview

How can your organisation develop a culture for everyone to dream and explore innovative ideas?

We know that internal advocates can positively transform the customer service experience, and improve customer satisfaction levels. However, to sustain a competitive advantage and build long term shareholder value, every company requires a leader to inculcate and drive a robust service innovation culture.

Adapting the principles of the Design Thinking framework from ESSEC Business School, participants will learn special concepts to prepare and lead their teams to expand their horizons beyond existing services and service capabilities. Learners will be guided through a practice-oriented and experiential learning process to discover the true fundamentals of what it takes to be an engaged team leader so as to foster and promote a service innovation culture in support of organisational objectives.
