As Singapore moves towards a smart nation, expectations rise and the need to understand customer needs and expectations develop in tandem. This calls for an increase in customer satisfaction and reduce customer irritations to improve the customer experience for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This necessitates an internal understanding and alignment of the SME’s management and staff to be more customer-centric in dealing with internal challenges around its systems, processes, procedures and policies.

Course Objective

This covers strategic, operational, management, and frontline employees.

This course will walk the management and staff through a design thinking and LEAN process with a view to continuously innovating service design.
