Northridge’s Quality Assessment and Redesign Program
Our ultimate objective is to establish an improved quality management operation that is in alignment with the strategic direction of your business, delivering on growth, profitability, scalability and improved customer experience objectives.
Our Approach
Our Proven Methodology
Our solutions are data-driven and incorporate years of best practice experience to develop recommendations that are practical and create sustainable results. Our approach is centered on the voice of the customer and documents pain points along the customer’s journey. We start with an assessment of how the quality program aligns with key business metrics and the outcomes it achieves. We then assess the findings from the baseline against best practices and industry benchmarks. This approach ensures a holistic view of people, process, technology and reporting, and how they work together to deliver an excellent customer experience and the desired business outcomes.
As part of this best practices comparison, Northridge rates the quality program to ensure the program is:
- Driving proactive actionable insights that are aligned with key business metrics and feedback identified through customer journey documentation.
- Measuring outcomes and KPIs to ensure the quality program is having the intended effects and is driving desired performance.
This allows us to focus on the sales and service operational changes that are necessary for quality management in the short and long term, enabling us to prioritize our recommendations and create an implementation roadmap.
