The Vanguard Service Audit The Vanguard Service Audit five steps to understanding the ‘what and why’ of service performance

servaudit.GIF (5591 bytes) 1) What is the purpose?

Are there stated aims, is there a ‘de-facto’ purpose? Do measures relate to purpose?

2) What matters to customers? How much is known, how much is easily discovered?

How easily can customers ‘pull value’ from the organisation?

3) What is the current capability?

How predictable is performance, what is the level of performance?

4) How well do service processes work? How much waste, how much sub-optimisation? How lean is service delivery?

5) How do system conditions help or hinder performance?

Do measures guide learning or impede lean flow? Does IT enable or entrap? Are roles and structure aligned to purpose? Is information facilitating lean flow?

By asking and answering these questions, Vanguard will be able to point you to the scope for potential improvement and the short and long-term actions you need to take to improve service, revenue, efficiency and morale. And we will give you the results within one week.
