8. World Class Customer Service Behaviours
For the first time a world class behavioural customer service excellence model that works from frontline to boardroom.

You can now manage behaviour for long term sustainable transformation – this session explores how.
 
9. Roadmap for Cost Reduction
This session provides each delegate with the transformation action plan – showing the way forward with clear steps to take and how to take staff on that vital journey.
