  25. FYI: Internal Communication Conducted on FY13 Service Valuation Interviews Service Valuation Interview goals: Top 3 offers for senior customer success/effectiveness: • Directly connect with key customers – Assess & strengthen customer relationship management. • Calibrate customer expectations with the org. servicing activities – Are we meeting needs? • Identify the org.’s areas of performance strength and areas requiring service delivery recovery efforts. • Establish a performance baseline for the org. based on direct customer input/expectations. • Ultimate Outcome: Work is customer service centric. Key senior customer Hot Buttons on service delivery* “I want a collaborative working relationship where I and my team are kept in the service delivery loop. I want to understand exactly what support, in specific areas, I can expect; what MS will do to meet those expectations; and what our role as a good customer should be to ensure MS can meet those expectations. I want MS to do what it is supposed to do, when it is supposed to. I expect MS to interact with any/all appropriate members of my team in an ‘easy to do business’ professional manner. I want to understand MS processes sufficiently to allow me to support MS service delivery efforts. I want to feel as if somebody in MS cares about me.” Relationships – Does the org. get me; get my team? Offer Clarity – Do I know what the org. is supposed to do for me? (broken down by functional activity) Execution/Performance – Does the org. work meet my quality standards? MS Mission/Purpose – Do I know why the org. exists and what it is supposed to do?
