OUTCOME
Over 40 Yarra Ranges Council leaders gained a deep understanding of the importance of creating customer focused journeys and key strategies to embed a customer focused mindset within their teams.
Shay partnered with us to design and deliver Customer Focused workshops for 38 Leaders at Yarra Ranges Council. These workshops are part of a development program supporting our Leaders to lead through a time of transformational change. Shay's delivery supported these leaders to better understand the importance of the customer experience, use observe, immerse and engage to learn about our customers and develop a culture where customer is the focus.
Feedback received, both formally and informally, has been overwhelmingly positive, Leaders have admitted to having their eyes opened and thinking challenged, seeing this as an opportunity to be more innovative in how we respond to and add value for our customers. Shay brings great experience, knowledge, ideas and energy to his facilitation. It's been a great experience partnering with Collective Campus and being part of these workshops. - Amy Hollings, Organisational Development Project Lead
