The Service Excellence Network sets sail for 2017

Please note this article was published before OEE Consulting and gobeyond joined forces to become Gobeyond Partners.
Service Excellence Network members are preparing for their first event of 2017 on 23 March, when they’ll be viewing P&O Ferries’ operations in action during a Channel crossing.
The event will provide the opportunity to hear how P&O Ferries has embedded a customer focused improvement culture, paving the way for a major transformation programme.
The Service Excellence Network Touring Behind-the-Scenes
Members will tour behind-the-scenes on board one of their newest ships The Spirit of Britain during a return journey to Calais, hearing about the operational challenges P&O Ferries overcome to provide a seamless customer journey for 2,000 passengers each sailing.
The Service Excellence Network Will Hear Insights into Producing an Operating Model
They’ll hear from Operations Director Sue Mackenzie on their work producing a best in class operating model, whilst guest speaker Tony Anderson will reflect on changes driven by challenger brands. Tony is the former Marketing Director at easyJet; he joined the airline six months before their first flight and worked as Marketing Director for easyGroup.
