The business recognised the importance of its client experience proposition and wanted to ensure that it is able to consistently deliver that proposition, no matter who is involved or where they are located and transform the business’ ability from providing an accomplished client service to providing an outstanding client experience.
DST engaged Developing People International to deliver a comprehensive programme of development for 150 of its client facing staff to develop their skills, confidence and behaviour to provide an outstanding client experience.
To achieve the business’ objectives of improving its client experience we:
Developed a client experience proposition for DST that was distinctive and intentional in delivering DST’s proposition.
Used the client experience proposition as context for training staff so that the skills and behaviours that the business required were directly linked to the experience DST desired its clients to have.
Designed a programme of highly interactive training, discussion, case studies, group work and role plays tailored to optimise learning and maximise development.
Delivered a bespoke Client Experience Development programme for 150 client facing managers and staff consisting of 4 workshops covering a range of skills and behaviours.
Developed feedback mechanisms and a client experience scorecard to measure the impact of our work on the performance of the business.
