Looking forward to attending the CPP Masters in June - will see if I can bring some colleagues!! Neal Ross, Chief Information Officer at Konica Minolta Business Solutions New Zealand Limited I attended the CPP Masters and it was a turning point for me in terms of managing and designing customer experience. The CEMMethod is pragmatic and one that can really make a difference for the customer while increasing revenue, service and reducing costs. In 2015 I completed the CPP Champion® level – it again exceeded my expectations and I have gained so much. I would recommend this programme to all organizations’ that are pursuing customer centricity. Kirsty Dare, Head Service Retail Distribution, Barclays The detail was very relevant and extremely well presented. Steve is a great communicator and spoke extremely well. Paul Botes, Standard Bank Brilliant Workshop. The speaker was awesome and gave great guidance on matters I am finding in the workplace. Cindy-Lee Muller, Planning & Roadmap Manager, MTN (Pty) Ltd I just want to express my thanks to everyone involved in the past week, as I got so much out of our time. That goes not just for Steve and James, who both really helped me to think about process in new ways, but all of my fellow participants in the class. It was a great group, and I benefited from working with everyone there. Brian La Carrubba, Senior Business Process Analyst, Business Process Innovation, Great-West Life & Annuity, USA The workshop is highly recommended for anyone who wishes to simplify and expedite processes thereby enhancing customer satisfaction. The speaker is immensely knowledgeable and demonstrates vast experience in the subject. David Mulovhedzi, SVP, DPSA I did the CPP Masters 2 weeks ago and it completely changed my world. Since then things are going really fast within our organisation. The rest of the guys in our executive team are completely sold on the concept. I am now taking the rest of the staff through some sessions. We plan to work on and optimise 6-10 key processes in the near future. We are also: • Revamping our organisation structure to go to the "customer inclusive" model. • We are going away this weekend to re-think our business plan (which was based on old thinking) • We are actively considering getting rid of all our titles and silos in the organisation and only having "the business we really are in" on the business cards. • We are completely changing the KPI model to only focus only on and rewarding for increase in revenue, cost savings, good service and most of all successful customer outcomes. • We have appointed a staff member to begin talking to clients and to start understanding and managing their expectations. To be honest I did not think it would happen that quick. Nachiket Gole, Chief Information Officer - PowerNET Computer Consultants "Thanks very much for an amazing course! You are a fantastic facilitator and I'm truly blessed to have you share your wisdom with us." Jenny Simpson, Senior Consultant, Business Improvement, National Australia Bank ...you've fundamentally changed the way I think about every process.

If everyone started applying OI, the world would be... where it should be.
