From mystery shopping report to measurable service improvement

From mystery shopping report to measurable service improvement

The measurement is the easy part. What changes results is the analysis that follows: a gap analysis that separates skill gaps, which training can close, from process and management issues, which it cannot.

Because we train and consult as well as measure, we can close the loop: measure, analyse, improve, then re-measure. A follow-up round shows whether the change held, and gives management a trend to report on rather than a single snapshot.

“Training changes behaviour only when the new skills are used on the job.”

From insight to action

Every article starts from a practical question our clients ask. We focus on what to measure, what to change and how to tell whether the change is working.

What to check before you commit

Confirm that the programme starts with a needs analysis, is delivered by practising experts, and sets measures you can track after the course.

  • Needs analysis before design
  • Practising experts as trainers
  • Results measured on the job

Use these ideas as a starting point, then adapt them to your own teams, processes and measures. If you want help applying them, our consultants can review your situation with you.
