The Cedar Foundation Best Practice – Customer Focus “TCF maintains a very strong focus on its customers. The CE, DCE and all Heads of Service are actively engaged with purchasers and policy makers both in terms of responding to their needs and influencing their agendas towards the Vision and Mission of the Foundation. With regard to Service Users, the Foundation has an innovative and role model approach to identifying and meeting their needs by the establishment of a User Forum and integrating this into the leadership and governance of the organisation. Customer satisfaction levels, in consequence, are very high; presenting the challenge to TCF on how to take things to a higher level.”

The Universal Service Delivery Process is an innovative feature that provides a common framework for all service delivery, setting out the core requirements for each service user. Process ownership is clearly defined. The collection of fact based information is also extensively deployed in the review and improvement of processes and procedures. Benchmarking is used extensively in the design and development of processes, and improvements are also driven by internal and external performance review; feedback from customers and stakeholders; and other learning and research.”
