SERVICE EXCELLENCE TEAM - May 11, 2018

Opening: The regular meeting of the SET was held on Friday, May 11, 2018 at 10:00 a.m.

 

Present:  Cara Hamilton, Kathy Brand, Scott Jaeschke, Richard Parker, Laura McClain

 

Absent: Aida Laham, Lynn Lewis

 

Celebrations:

  • Cara shared that Summer 2018 enrollment is up 5.5%.  She stated this is great for the College and a reflection of what we do and how hard we work to let students know we want them here.  She is hopeful this trend with enrollment continues on into the fall.
  • Kathy provided kudos to Tina Burton for appropriately handling a difficult parent situation using excellence service and upholding the College’s integrity. Kudos to Dr. Booth for backing her decision 100%.

Talent Management: Cara hopes to have a new member by the end of June.

 

Recognition: Laura reported IT issues with getting the recognition portal completed.  Cara suggested she contact Caleb in IT to help resolve the issues and get the portal ready to go live.

Measurement: Scott stated that the student service surveys are ready to be printed and he plans to start assessing during the summer session.  Scott stated the data gathered this summer will provide information and/or issues prior to the full launch in the fall.  Cara will get Scott a code for printing.  Scott also presented his rough draft outline of a five-module service excellence training program for the team’s approval. This would be our adaptation of the ideas from Coastal Carolina:

  • a module conveying the history of the College;
  • a module reviewing the support services offered by the College (able to be waived with proof of recent LC101 completion);
  • a module providing a detailed profile of our student “fingerprint”—the demographics and common needs of our three or four common student clusters;
  • a module reviewing the iCARE standards, the service excellence diamond, and the current QEP;
  • and a capstone meeting with Dr. Booth and the Executive Staff members (envisioned as a brief reception at the end of a regular Executive Staff meeting)
     

Scott stated his thought is to make each of the first four modules mixed media between pre-recorded videos and an in-person debrief meeting. Discussion followed deciding to start with the 5 modules, then review and assess after a year or two and determine if additional modules need to be added or if modules need to be separated into multiple parts.  Scott will have an outline of the modules at the next meeting.  Cara asked Scott to think about FY19 budget items, such as video costs, that may be needed moving forward with the modules. Scott stated with Bridge housing moving on campus next fall, his job description will be evolving to include ongoing service excellence measurement.

Commitment of Excellence/LEAN/Service Obstacle System: Richard stated a faculty member has recently turned in a lean process. Cara asked Richard to have Cathy S. prepare a list of lean processes that have been started/are in process/or completed so the group can review at the next meeting.
