Service Experience Model

Introducing the Service Experience Model ®

An independent framework to help you develop, transform and future-proof your customer experience.

Consumer needs, preferences and behaviours are changing fast. As a result, companies should assess the ability of their teams to adapt, meet and exceed these evolving expectations.​

Our latest UKCSI shows that 35% of customers would be prepared to pay more to guarantee excellent service. With quality becoming a more important factor in influencing customer decisions, improving standards and consistency in operational delivery should be a key priority for all organisations. ​

Our Service Experience Model is an independent framework created to embed the right culture and help you drive, transform and future-proof your customer experience. We help you build a service culture with the right skills for better engagement and retention rates, and define a clear strategic vision with the right leadership to drive positive change in your organisation.

Interactive model

Founded on five inter-dependent financial and reputational outcomes, our interactive model focuses on enhancing each of these elements in relevant and sustainable ways.

The core supports three strategic independent ‘pillars’​: each must play its part if customer service excellence is to be consistently delivered and maintained.

The Service Experience Model is powered by expert insight, tools and guidance to enable you to:​

  • Comprehensively diagnose current performance​
  • Articulate areas of advantage to be leveraged​
  • Identify areas for improvement​
  • Set meaningful strategies for service development and sustainable delivery​
  • Benchmark and track progress​
  • Membership offers tools to build on each element and support from a dedicated Client Development Director​

Strategy and Leadership

Service has never been more important than in today’s complex and competitive environment.​ Service quality goals need to be hardwired into the organisation’s broader commercial and strategic ambitions.To be authentic, an unwavering commitment to the customer experience should be driven from the top and embraced by everyone.​

Culture and Engaged People

It can take years to find and attract new customers, but only moments to lose them​. It’s fundamental that your people, whether customer or colleague-facing, have the skills, tools, aptitude and motivation required to deliver your organisation’s customer experience promise. Having the right culture and engaged teams is key.

Operational Delivery

Customer-centric processes are critical to delivering high quality customer service. ​Continuous improvement and ongoing innovation, based on regular customer feedback, will help maintain competitive difference. This will deliver improved financial and organisation results by keeping customers satisfied and loyal.​

Evolution of the model:

The Service Experience model has evolved from our World Class Service Model. The timeline below takes a look at the key milestones and major events having led to the Service Experience model as we know it today.

A collaborative process

Your Client Development Director and other experts at The Institute will be on-hand to help you get the most out of the model. We can provide tools and advice to help you focus your attention and resources to maximise success.​
