Abstract

Four “strategic mindsets” can help build an effective service organization capable of creating positive customer and employee experiences (CXs and EXs). First, is a “service is still all about people” mind set as the basis of competitive advantage. The following two mindsets (“service climate” and “coordination”) create an organizational context in which service excellence is facilitated, and the fourth mindset is “high-performing customers” as co-producers and co-creators of value. The organization must care for both customers and employees, aware that what happens internally gets reflected externally and that the reciprocal relationships between EXs and CXs must also be managed.
