Overview
Coined by Claus, and increasingly being used today by many others, Putting People First (PPF) has been one of TMIs hallmark solutions.
Centering around the key concept that the level of external customer service cannot exceed the level of internal service, Putting People First can be run both as a training program as well as a cultural intervention.
The PPF philosophy is built around eight elements that shape the customer-centric persona of an organisation:
- Shared customer-centric vision
