 Course Objectives

The importance of understanding your customers' needs and expectations is critical to the success of an organization. Many organizations think they know what their customers want, but they their knowledge is often incomplete or, even worse, off the mark. Once needs and expectations have been understood it is easy to meet them - or is it? Knowing what customers expect is the first step. Equally important is making the changes that enable your organization to meet customer expectations on a permanent basis.

The intent of this two-day course is to explore the principles of understanding and satisfying customer needs and common approaches used to determine customer satisfaction levels. The course utilizes a series of connected workshops to help participants build customer satisfaction program in their organization. ISO 9001 requires organizations to understand their customers, and monitor information relating to their perception of your organization's goods and services. This course will prepare you to meet that requirement, but is not limited to ISO requirements. More importantly, it will prepare participants to improve bottom line performance, because if you are not meeting your customer's requirements, someone else will.
