Creating a Service Excellence Training Program for Your Campus

Creating a Service Excellence Training Program for Your Campus

February 10 - 11, 2025 | Denver, CO

Learn how to develop your own service excellence program that will increase student and employee retention!

Overview

With the number of traditional-aged college students in decline, plus ongoing challenges with hybrid formats and declining resources, many college and university presidents and cabinet members are in the midst of a perfect storm in higher education. Many institutions are embracing service excellence to foster a “culture of care” around campus and to increase the student and employee experience and retention.

After attending this conference, you and your team will leave with a service excellence framework specific to your campus, including a service excellence vision, service standards, and an action plan for implementation.

To preserve an intimate and productive experience, this conference is capped at 30 attendees.

What You Will Learn

After attending this conference, you and your team will leave with a service excellence framework specific to your campus, including a service excellence vision, service standards, and an action plan for implementation. You will situate your institution’s unique cultural context into a four-level service mastery framework below:

  • Systems Mastery: Clear and understandable policies, workflow and collaboration across teams, and infrastructure
  • Teams Mastery: Clear standards of service, and psychological safety
  • Interpersonal Mastery: Skills to resolve conflict, feedback, and building trust
  • Personal Mastery: What is my service philosophy and how can I tap into my strengths to deliver that

Who Should Attend

Presidents, Chiefs of Staff, Cabinet members and other senior leaders who can enact change on your campus will benefit from this training. We recommend that you bring a small team from your campus to enhance collaboration.
