Topic Overview:
In today's environment, focusing on your customers is paramount -- listening to their needs, delivering innovative products/services that satisfy those needs, building relationships that create deep levels of customer satisfaction and engagement. Whether you are a business, school, healthcare organization, governmental agency, or nonprofit, systematically focusing on your customers can be the difference between success and failure.
The Minnesota Council for Quality is pleased to welcome Tania McVean, Community & Hospital Relations Coordinator, Memorial Blood Centers, to its February 15 session: "Customer Focus at Memorial Blood Centers." Tania will share some of the many processes -- including the Customer Experience Management Process, voice of the customer processes, and customer communication mechanisms -- used by MBC to build a culture that focuses on its customers -- its donors, recipients, hospital partners, and other stakeholders.
The session is from 7:30-8:30 a.m. on February 15 (networking and continental breakfast begin at 7:00 a.m.) at Memorial Blood Center. Admission to TPPEN is FREE for Council members and guests ($20 for non-members).
