  1. Customer ResultsDown Lisburn Experience Jim Ferran Quality Manager

  2. Getting Started • First major customer survey in 1993 • Disability Services • “Courageous” move • Resistance • “We know we’re providing a good service” • “They’d complain, wouldn’t they?” • “They don’t understand it, really!” • Fear

  3. Getting Started • Problems • Survey design • Bespoke • Service-focussed • Sampling • Unreliable data • Dead customers – distress and complaints • Difficult to access

  4. Getting Started • OUTCOME • “Fair comment” • ”Surprising results” • “Action Plan” • User involvement • Fears allayed • Fairness • Blame culture • Value of the exercise

  5. The Charter Mark Effect • First Charter Mark 1995 – Speech and Language Therapy • 30+ in the next 5 years • Customer results a requirement • Surveys • Focus-groups • “Friends-of” groups • User and carer councils • Complaints – ‘grumbles and gripes’

  6. ISO 9001:2000 • ISO 9000 used since 1996 • Developing in parallel with Charter Mark • ISO 9001:2000 now requires customer satisfaction and feedback – another driver

  7. The EFQM influence • First full self-assessment 1998 • Scope of results not Trustwide • No trend information • Benchmarking opportunities very limited • Targets? What targets?

  8. Progress? • Increased survey activity • Re-surveys undertaken • Resource intensive • Still bespoke surveys • Little real impact on scope shortfall • Self-assessment repeated in 2000

  9. Bespoke Surveys – Pos & Neg • tailored to individual service needs • resource intensive design stage • resource intensive analysis – every survey needs individual set-up • difficult to benchmark • trends difficult to establish

  10. The solution • “Modular” surveys • Blocks of questions • Based on Charter Mark principles • Information • Consultation • Choice • Complaints • Staff etc. • Pic’n’mix methodology • Analysis templates • Easy internal benchmarking and trendline generation

  11. Real Progress • Modular system piloted in late 2000 • Full implementation in 2001 • Huge increase in survey activity • Internal benchmarking • Trends developing • Targets still limited

  12. Next Steps • Self-assessment in 2005 • No award application • Fundamental re-think of customer results • Benchmarking!!

  13. The Future • Review of Public Administration • SEAT - new organisation, new challenges • Performance management • Onward and upward

  14. ANY QUESTIONS? Thank you for your attention!
