Recognition A–Z / Business and management

Customer experience and handovers

Customer experience often crosses team boundaries. A well-run function can still contribute to a poor journey when information is lost at a handover.

What to review

Trace the customer's request from first contact to resolution. Identify where responsibility changes and what the receiving team needs.

A practical example

A sales promise that service staff cannot see may require the customer to explain the issue again. The handover is part of the experience.

Keep the claim in scope

Do not evaluate the whole journey from the performance of one department alone.

Research and editorial context

A useful management framework makes a decision easier to examine. It should identify its assumptions and the evidence needed to challenge them. These notes are practical WCRC interpretation, not measured outcomes or recommendations for investing in a particular company.

Examples illustrate a decision and do not describe a named organisation's conduct. This is a reference note, not a new research finding or an award outcome.
