Creating Attractive Services: A Strategic Approach

Creating Attractive Services: A Strategic Approach
27 – 28 February 2008: Bangalore

Increasing globalization and competition have brought the Service sector to the foreground as a main growth engine in modern economies. In order to gain and maintain competitive edge in the marketplace, service organizations, be it Media, Healthcare, Education, Hospitality, Financial Services, Travel & Tourism or Logistic Solutions providers are continually focusing on innovative and creative ways to acquire, satisfy and retain customers. The challenge for today’s service organizations is to align business objectives with the development of new and value added services. The crux of the issue lies in identifying new service strategies that foster innovation. While service organizations are developing and delivering new services addressing the customer and market requirements, there is a need for looking at how scientific and systematic are the processes behind these, in order to enhance the competitiveness of the organizations. To address this issue, the CII Institute of Quality is organizing a two day Workshop on “Creating Attractive Services: A Strategic Approach” on 27-28 February 2008 at Bangalore.

The workshop aims to bring forward the integration of all aspects of the Service Development process, addressing the relationship between innovation, market dynamics and customer satisfaction. This programme covers market entry and positioning strategies and planning processes including relevant techniques like QFD, FMEA etc. The course revolves around the Theory of Attractive Quality, developed by Dr. Noriaki Kano, the world-renowned pioneer in product and service innovation. By applying this approach, the must-haves, exciters, and true differentiators become readily apparent and service development efforts can then focus on the attributes that customers will not only be attracted to but are also likely to pay a premium for.

The Workshop Objectives:

The Workshop will enable participants towards:

1. Designing and developing new services, in line with the needs and expectations of the customers,

2. Identifying the improvements aimed at enhancing existing services to address the changing needs and expectations of the customers,

3. Introducing a structured approach to support the development of new services, using scientific tools & techniques relevant to a service scenario, and

4. Using creativity and innovation to create an attractive service.

The workshop shall be conducted using lectures, group-work and case studies.

This programme is targeted for senior and middle level management from different disciplines such as Business Planning, Marketing, and Services Delivery etc.

I am writing to invite you to take advantage of this programme and nominate colleagues from your organisation

We look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

S K Kakkar
Principal Counsellor & Head
