    | © 2018 Australian Strategic Services Pty Ltd Customer-centric Governance, Cashflow-centric Governance…Customers Are King, Cashflow Is Queen Principle 10: Customer Metrics, The Key To Performance u  Customer metrics go well beyond just customer satisfaction survey results. u  A board’s understanding and use of an organisational performance management system is critical if they are to proactively monitor and drive the organisation’s performance, therein customer metrics.

    | © 2018 Australian Strategic Services Pty Ltd Customer-centric Governance, Cashflow-centric Governance…Customers Are King, Cashflow Is Queen Practices For Customer-centric Governance For boards and chief executive officers to truly develop and drive a customer-centric culture, they may wish to consider: u  interpreting and enacting the previously presented ten customer-centric principles u  reviewing the provided articles, presentations and tools u  investigating and/or enacting the following governance practices, pages 19–28.
  19. 19 Status: Final | Version: Master | 8 August 2018

    | © 2018 Australian Strategic Services Pty Ltd Customer-centric Governance, Cashflow-centric Governance…Customers Are King, Cashflow Is Queen Practice 1: Understand Customer Interaction Through Their Eyes u  Technology has given customers unprecedented power to dictate the rules in purchasing services and products. u  McKinsey research finds 3/4 of customers expect “now service” with five minutes of online contact with an organisation. u  Customers also expect all organisations to provide the same levels of immediacy, personalisation and convenience as they receive from leading organisations. u  Therefore, boards should determine whether they are a leading, following or resisting organisation.

    | © 2018 Australian Strategic Services Pty Ltd Customer-centric Governance, Cashflow-centric Governance…Customers Are King, Cashflow Is Queen Practice 2: Identify, Understand & Map The Customer Journey u  Leading organisations optimise customer journeys, not just organisational/service touch points, eg: registration, service appointments. u  Customer-centric organisations provide “end-to-end experiences”, not touch points, such as register, charge, account, delivery of service, etc. u  Identifying, understanding and physically mapping the customer’s journey, including the touch points enables the board, chief executive officer, executives, managers and staff to improve both the customer journey and the customer experience.

    | © 2018 Australian Strategic Services Pty Ltd Customer-centric Governance, Cashflow-centric Governance…Customers Are King, Cashflow Is Queen Practice 3: Quantify What Matters To Your Customers u  Customers of human service organisations have high to very high standards for such areas as service quality, safety, performance and increasingly price, particularly given the cost of services is being extracted from their individualised budget. u  Therefore, boards and chief executive officers, together with executives, really need to not only understand their customer’s expectations, requirements and needs, but quantify what really matters to their customers. u  There is no doubt that customer service contracts, care plans and similar documents that are put in place create the framework/relational requirements and deliverables between a customer and an organisation and they help quantify what really matters to the customer. u  Customer requirements and expectations are one thing, customer complaints, reporting an organisation to a government authority or department or initiating legal proceedings are another; such customer responses are extremely costly.

    | © 2018 Australian Strategic Services Pty Ltd Customer-centric Governance, Cashflow-centric Governance…Customers Are King, Cashflow Is Queen Practice 4: Reinvent Customer Journeys Via Digital Technologies u  Business models that are nominally supported by various digital technologies or solutions is one approach. u  However, several boards, chief executive officers and executives have been able to completely transform their organisation, re-engineer their business model and reinvent their culture into a comprehensive digital platform, completely digitising their organisation, its businesses and services, eg: Care Connect.

    | © 2018 Australian Strategic Services Pty Ltd Customer-centric Governance, Cashflow-centric Governance…Customers Are King, Cashflow Is Queen Practice 5: Take A Deep Dive To Understand Your Culture u  Whilst board’s wrap their hands around the business as they govern, they must also understand what’s happening in the business…without putting their hands in the business; which can be a challenge! u  Via the chief executive and executives it is critical that the board understands the realities of the culture; that is the attitudes, behaviours, characteristics and work practices of key individuals, teams and the organisation. u  Diving deep into your culture is step one in forming a customer-centric culture. Board Cultural Strategies u  Observe, not just see u  Listen, not just hear u  Walk the floor; observe for yourself, listen to staff u  Initiative independent cultural assessments u  Analyse customer data & feedback, become a customer u  Ask insightful & pertinent questions u  Pursue lines of enquiry u  Remain objective, put aside the emotional engagement & ownership

    | © 2018 Australian Strategic Services Pty Ltd Customer-centric Governance, Cashflow-centric Governance…Customers Are King, Cashflow Is Queen Practice 8: Align Structure & Position To Strategy & Projects u  Boards provide resources, be they financial resources, human resources, capital etc, eg: board decisions, signing off budgets and loans, purchasing property, signing/ authorising contracts and leases, etc. u  Boards put in place strategic plans, therein strategies to enact projects…typically there is a resistance/reluctance to restructuring the organisation, creating/recreating positions, even though the strategy/ies demand such an approach. u  Alignment of strategy and structure is crucial.

    | © 2018 Australian Strategic Services Pty Ltd Customer-centric Governance, Cashflow-centric Governance…Customers Are King, Cashflow Is Queen Principle 1: Business & Service Objectives & Outcomes u  Community businesses (NFPs) are driven by vision/mission and deliver various social, environmental or community dividends. u  Balancing and integrating business (cashflow) objectives and outcomes with service (customer) objectives and outcomes is proving to be a significant challenge for many boards and chief executive officers. u  Transitioning community businesses to operate in a customer-driven, competitive marketplaces, many of which are or will be “deregulated” is paramount if an organisation is to ensure its future success. © ASSPL Balancing & Integrating Business Objectives & O utcomes Balancing & Integrating Service Objectives & Outcomes © ASSPL Cashflow Management Customer Management

    | © 2018 Australian Strategic Services Pty Ltd Customer-centric Governance, Cashflow-centric Governance…Customers Are King, Cashflow Is Queen Principle 2: Annual Budgets Are Just “A Shopping List” u  Annual budgets are typically just “a shopping list” of what a board/organisation expects to earn in revenue and expects to spend in expenses. u  Annual budgets are typically static and are poorly constructed; with little robust research and analysis of actual/projected finances and the all important underlying key drivers, assumptions and parameters of the industry or business being understood or accounted for in the budget. u  In the past paradigm of being “funded in advance and accounting for acquittals in arrears” annual budgets on their own were adequate. u  However, in today and tomorrow’s world of attracting and retaining customers, then delivering services, after which invoices will be sent and payments received is another matter.
  32. 32 Status: Final | Version: Master | 8 August 2018

    | © 2018 Australian Strategic Services Pty Ltd Customer-centric Governance, Cashflow-centric Governance…Customers Are King, Cashflow Is Queen Principle 3: Customers = Cashflow u  In the past boards of community businesses were typically concerned with: *  profit and loss statements *  occasionally, projected profit and loss *  annually, the balance sheet results rather than trends. u  Today, whilst these financial tools and processes are very important, they should not be the primary focus…projecting, monitoring and managing cashflow is the name of the game.

    | © 2018 Australian Strategic Services Pty Ltd Customer-centric Governance, Cashflow-centric Governance…Customers Are King, Cashflow Is Queen Principle 5: Industry & Organisational Key Drivers u  Identifying and understanding the typical 5–7 industry key drivers that are forcing the reshaping of your organisation whether they are actual, emerging or future key drivers is paramount, eg: new standards, new funding model. u  The same applies for an organisation’s key drivers, eg: customer category profile/s such as number of high care– sub-acute care customers equals X revenue, alternatively a high number of low–high care customers only equals Y revenue.

    | © 2018 Australian Strategic Services Pty Ltd Customer-centric Governance, Cashflow-centric Governance…Customers Are King, Cashflow Is Queen Principle 6: Customer Categories, Mix, Value & Flow Rates u  In a customer-centric, competitive marketplace, boards must come to grips with the financial impacts and implications of various strategic or organisational scenarios and options based on: * customer categories * customer mix * customer value * customer flow rates.  The interplay of these elements will categorically determine revenue flows. Customer Categories Customer Flow Rates Customer Value © ASSPL Business Model Customer Mix Financial Model

    | © 2018 Australian Strategic Services Pty Ltd Customer-centric Governance, Cashflow-centric Governance…Customers Are King, Cashflow Is Queen Principle 8: Concise Metrics, Snapshot Reports u  A board’s annual professional development plan should account for the strengthening of directors’ financial knowledge, particularly those non- financially qualified or experienced directors. u  Understanding, analysing and utilising cashflow, profit and loss and balance sheet data/statements is fundamental to discussion and decision about the business model and the organisation’s performance, including its financial performance.

    | © 2018 Australian Strategic Services Pty Ltd Customer-centric Governance, Cashflow-centric Governance…Customers Are King, Cashflow Is Queen Principle 9: Shift The Focus To Proactive Financial Modelling u  Typically 65%–75% of a board’s time in the boardroom is spent on the past… reviewing and monitoring past financials, past events and past performance; such behaviour is recorded in a board’s minutes. u  Shift your board’s focus and work to: *  65%–75% on the emergent future strategies and projects *  35%–25% on the past and the current performance.
