The Strategy
Your most valuable asset is your customers. Without your
customers, you have no revenue stream to cover costs or produce profits. Your
second most valuable asset is the people in your organization who serve your customers.
Who are these people? Everyone! Every person in your work force serves the
customer either directly or indirectly.
Every leader must ensure
that your organization adds value to the customer with every step in the process. How can this be done?
Engage your people in a defined process to highlight the important activities that
lead to increased customer satisfaction. This process will also identify
activities that don’t have the desired effect. Over time, all organizations
build processes that do not use time and resources as effectively as they
should. The Japanese call this muda, or waste. It can come in the form
of rework, downtime, excess inventory, or other similar inefficiencies.
The best part of this strategy is that the initial investment is minimal, while the rewards are great. Most projects show a positive payback quickly.

Business Process Management
All work is a process. Your work force follows
processes to accomplish everything it does. It is imperative to ensure that
these processes work properly the first time, every time.
Supply Chain – Vendor Management
Whether you are buying raw materials, components, finished products or services, vendor management is a key component of your supply chain strategy. Ensuring that any outsourced production or service meets your requirements, and more importantly, your customers' requirements, is crucial.
Supply Chain – Customer Relations
Successful organizations delight their customers every day. Everyone who interacts with the customer needs to understand what superior customer service is, and how to deliver it. Connect with your customers on an emotional level, not just a functional level, and your customers will be raving fans.
