Excellence in Customer
Service Symposium @ The Ritz-Carlton Atlanta (downtown)
Atlanta
Business Chronicle and The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta (downtown,) present
a one-day symposium for business and civic leaders on Friday, October
15.
The business and civic community is invited to join a symposium
exploring Excellence in Customer Service. The symposium is a unique
way to share the legendary Ritz-Carlton culture of service excellence
with business and community leaders across all industries and levels
of leadership.
The symposium begins at 8a.m. with a welcome reception and breakfast
and continues until 3:30 p.m. The program will focus on retaining
loyal customers, developing exceptional employees and maintaining
high quality standards, and will provide a new perspective on these
and other important business issues including:
* Applying time-tested service philosophies
* Using quality management principles to build a service-oriented
business
* Employing innovative best practices in training and development
* Protecting the integrity of your brand
The keynote luncheon address will be delivered by Simon F. Cooper,
president and Chief operating officer, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company.
Mr. Cooper's remarks will address The Power of Consistency.
The one-day symposium is based on the principles of The Ritz-Carlton
Hotel Company's world famous Leadership Center that was founded
in 1999. More than 10,000 senior executives and mid-managers have
benefited from The Leadership Center's diverse mix of seminars and
leadership development workshops. Originally created to support
the growth and expansion of The Ritz-Carlton products and services,
The Leadership Center now flourishes as a resource center for leading
organizations interested in benchmarking many of the business practices
that led to the Company's becoming a two-time recipient of the coveted
Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.
"This symposium is the most important few hours you can dedicate
to your businesses' growth and success this year," said Ed
Baker, publisher, Atlanta Business Chronicle.
The cost of the symposium is $199 per person. For more information,
