Service Excellence Principles

Integrity

Trust is key to all relationships and fundamental to provision of services or goods to a customer. Service Excellence certified companies strive to build such trust and conduct business in an ethical, honest and open way. Policies exist to provide guidance and encourage integrity.

Process Based Approach

Processes ensure consistent and predicable results, they allow for constant improvement demonstrated by shortening of cycle times and/or reduction of costs. They therefore play a critical role in the activities of any company. Service Excellence certified companies have well defined and controlled central processes which are measured in order to ensure quality.

Innovation

Service Excellence certified companies constantly seek innovative and unique ways to supply a customer’s needs. They seek to build on existing knowledge in order to meet requirements.

Customer Focus

Customers are one of the most important stake-holders in any company, as they provide vital funds to allow continued operation. IC9700 companies realise this and strive to constantly understand customer needs and requirements, as well as striving to exceed these expectations and add value wherever possible.

Operational Excellence

Within an IC9700 company people throughout the organization have the ability to use their knowledge and experience for the collective good. A motivated, committed and involved workforce is apparent. People are accountable for their own performance and understand the importance of their contribution to the organization and its subsequent performance.
