Our Process
Great service doesn’t just happen. It must be planned, managed and incorporated into the structure of the organization. Consistent attitudes, behaviors and processes must be adopted to support this strategy. Our process implements the principles of quality customer service through a leadership, teamwork and communication approach that delivers tangible and measurable results.
Service Excellence
Undergraduate students leave college for any number of reasons. But the majority of students share one common complaint: 72%* of student drop outs are typically related to service issues that can be managed.
Service Excellence is a genuine management science, ensuring your processes and people are positioned to make your institution a success and be recognized as such in the marketplace. The return on investment for improving student retention rates can be measured in the millions of dollars for your institution.
Overview
The educational environment has become much more competitive. Students have multiple options and many organizations are competing for the same student enrollment. In order to compete in this environment, an organization must develop a brand that makes service excellence part of everyday operations, and provides value to promote student success. A campus environment that “speaks” service enables an organization to attract and retain students, develop loyal employees and faculty, and allows your employees, staff, faculty, and students to be your best marketing force.
To do this, a culture of service excellence must be established. This culture ensures a seamless experience for the students whether they are interacting with admissions, financial aid, registration, enrollment, advisors, etc. Improving the student experience in the areas that surround learning in the classroom helps the students become more focused on the educational aspect of the college experience and better able to meet the academic standards necessary to stay in school and graduate.

Customer Service in Higher Education

Tear Down that Wall!
Every college or university I have visited complains of the silos between departments. These silos are like invisible walls that prevent co-workers from working together and building relationships. These walls create a competition between departments and people...
Ozymandias of Higher Ed
“Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair?” So goes Shelley’s famous warning to pretensions of greatness and hubris. One cannot help but recall Shelley’s celebrated sonnet when listening to the intractable positions taken by many stakeholders in Higher Ed....
It’s Not About the Parent’s Experience
This week I was on several college and university campuses as the first week of school was getting under way for the year. It was hard not to miss the many parents that were wistfully watching their young son or daughter get settled in their living residences and...
New York Times Opinion – “Teaching is Not a Business – Except When it Is”
The subject NYT opinion piece should be a watershed. It starts off with the perfunctory attacks on business practices in education, reformers, market solutions and competition. But, after aimlessly meandering through the woods, it then remarkably, makes a U-turn and...
Great Service – It’s All in the Details
When you pull down the tray in front of your airline seat and see that it is broken, do you think that the cabin crew is falling down on the job, or do you start to worry about the plane’s engine? When you see a smudged lipstick print on your wine glass, do you think...
How to Measure Service
If we want improvement in our processes, it is important to measure. By not measuring, we don't really know what or how big is our problem or obstacle. I am often asked the question: "How do you measure service?" Below is a worksheet that may help you. MEASUREMENT...
How to Counsel to Service Standards
Great coaches know the importance of keeping their team in line with a clear vision of where they are going. When team members drift off, the coach is right there to bring them back. When I ask the question to managers “why is counseling employees challenging?” I...
Student Retention and Transparency
More and more, as I work with colleges and universities, I am hearing the word “transparency” coming up as a needed service standard. This implies to me, that currently, there is little to no transparency. Is it that we live in such a non-transparent world today that...
