Theory, philosophy and methodology
I combine the theory of Service Profit Chain and Action Learning to create environments and situations where there participants can combine theory and practice. I look at companies, people and situations from a holistic point of view Everything is interconnected as a constantly moving organism – much inspired by Ken Wilber and Integral Theory. My facilitation is based on the firm belief that service products are marketed through the ‘experience’ that you give the guest. It is how well you deliver your service product that is the key to building traffic. And the key to deliver great experiences is more than ever linked to having the right team.
