Systems thinking for service organisations
There is a better way to make the work work…
…a way that improves service, improves revenue, reduces costs and improves morale
So why isn’t everybody doing it?

Service centre design and management
Traditional thinking leads to significantsub-optimisation
Higher costs, poor service, low morale
and what problems are managers trying to solve?

First big mistake
Failure to understand the nature of demand
All demand is treated as ‘units of production’
![Page 9: Systems Thinking for Service Organisations](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103014/5479c88f5806b58a048b4710/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Second big mistake
Assuming the workers can be held accountablefor the work they do.

Third big mistake
Management acts in many ways that damagethe organisation’s ability to absorb variety:
Scripts, procedures, activity measurement,IVR, automated work scheduling and ‘work flow’systems and so on….

permanent: demand, capacity, one-stop, time, accuracy(sampled), value created (sampled), agent capacity.
temporary: type and frequency of: demand, ‘dirt’ in input,waste in flow.

Three things ever manager needs to know
1. There is no reliable method for setting targets
2. Targets ALWAYS sub-optimise performance
3. Using measures derived from the work leads toresults that could never have been conceived as targets

We should be wary of:
Labels and fads
Tool heads
Managers’ implicit theories of change
