2. Executive Briefing: Creating a Service Quality Culture
P r o v i d i n g q u a l i t y s e r v i c e is the job of everyone at Oklahoma State
University. A leader must believe in, understand and clearly communicate quality
service expectations to create a service quality culture. Positively providing a
stakeholder experience where OSU connects with people on a relational, emotional
and rational level creates OSU advocates. The value and benefits are extensive and
define how people see, relate to, interact with, support and champion Oklahoma
State University.
Discussion will include:
Why it is important to be obsessed about what the stakeholder wants.
Establishing clear quality service expectations.
How leadership can ensure team responsibility and follow-through.
How to be a stakeholder-focused organization.
Research
30% of students who leave a university cite the number one reason as “I felt like
they didn’t care about me.”
The second major reason students quit a school is dissatisfaction with how the staff
treats them.
12% of potential enrollment is lost as soon as a potential student who had
indicated an inclination to attend makes direct contact with the institution.
72% of all students leave school for academic customer service focused reasons.
