Program Professional Framework
Measuring and Managing Customer Satisfaction
Program Overview
Customer satisfaction data only creates value when it changes decisions. This programme covers how to design satisfaction measurement across the customer journey, choose between CSAT, NPS and Customer Effort Score, build sound surveys and sampling plans, and link results to complaints, operational data and service standards. Participants learn to analyse the drivers of satisfaction, close the loop with dissatisfied customers and present findings that leaders act on, with reference to the government service rating programmes and customer charters used across the GCC.

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants design a satisfaction measurement plan for one service journey in their organisation or a provided case: selected metrics per touchpoint, a draft survey, a sampling plan, a driver analysis on sample data and a closed-loop recovery process with response times.
Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
