The Challenge to Change: How to successfully transition into a customer-focussed organisation

  • Grant Thornton Brisbane Level 18, 148 Ann Street Brisbane (map)

How to successfully transition to a customer-focussed community service organisation. Hosted by our event partner, Grant Thornton.

This workshop has been specifically designed to provide community-based service organisations with practical tools and information; the “how to”, to assist organisations transition from a transactional based organisation into a successful customer-focussed business.

Funding for community-based organisations is now more fiercely contested than ever. For example, the restructure of the disability sector, as a result of the NDIS, has become a difficult reality for many organisations, both big and small. The transition from just providing a service to turning an organisation into an outwardly facing customer-focussed and successful business relies on a combination of business acumen and knowledge, combined with skilful implementation, to ensure this change in direction is accomplished successfully.
