Overview

Transforming Service Excellence to Future-Proof Your Enterprise

All businesses should develop their ability to understand how their customers think, behave, share, desire and consume. Beginning with the customer is a process that allows for strategy, planning, product development and service models to generate innovative new approaches.

Customer experience is a key differentiator to attract and retain more customers in a world where products become increasingly homogeneous. The EXPERIENCE module will up the game for service providers to deliver exceptional service to the customer by triggering and evoking positive emotions via the development of Standard Emotional Procedure (SEP).

This module is available on a standalone basis.

Programme Partner

This Programme is a collaboration between SMU Academy, a Champion in Lifelong Learning and Universal Stage, a Consultancy-based Training Firm to offer practical, industry-relevant and impactful content to drive Transformative Performance for Growing Enterprises.
 

ABOUT UNIVERSAL STAGE

Universal Stage is a result-oriented consultancy and integrative learning firm founded to provide enterprises and learners with holistic solutions that work.  We are the stage for transformative growth via the deployment of business-centric management consulting and consultancy-based training programmes for progressive enterprises who wish to create business value and learners who want to realise the higher potential in their work and life.

It is our mission to strive with our customers to question existing approaches and provide transformative solutions that are able to increase business, work and personal value in a sustainable manner.  Our core values are evolved around people collaborations so that we can leverage the collective efforts of every stakeholder whom we work with.  Our firm is a platform where we work hand in hand with bosses, management, operations, employees and learners to jointly take on complex issues and emerge victorious together – Our Motto: It's better with US.

What sets us apart is our commitment to being hands-on with bosses and their management team in achieving success for some of the most challenging consulting projects in the industry.  Our ability in transferring the deep insights gained from the execution of the complex consulting cases into transferrable training programmes has empowered us to share our experiences with an exponential number of learners. Harnessing both our consultancy expertise and training capabilities, we are able to infuse the key essence of both strengths to provide a truly comprehensive and integrative solution for our customers. 

For more than a decade, we have continued to stay true to our promise of being result-oriented by shying away from one-sized fits all consulting methodology and standard market training curriculum and persisted in investing our efforts in new, bold and customised solutions that work.
