Protect your Organisation from Corporate Knowledge Loss – Now!

2022-09-13T04:27:34+00:00

Blog in partnership with Sausage Machine. In recent weeks it has become clear that the air travel customer experience is badly broken. A messy mix of flight cancellations, lost bags and major delays have us wondering what has gone so wrong. This issue was recently investigated on ABC’s 4 Corners program. We all know people caught up in this. What has happened in the airline industry to see such a drop off in employee and customer experience? What is the impact on leaders? How much did the loss of key people and corporate knowledge contribute to this? What can organisations [...]

Thriving ‘in the zone’

2021-07-22T06:50:00+00:00

The European sporting summer is a chance for the planet’s best athletes to do their thing. Whether that’s grinding their way up the Alps in the Tour de France, fizzing a low backhand slice on the grass at Wimbledon, or stepping up at Wembley to take a penalty in the Euros, careers and reputations are tested, and heroes are born. Those competitors who can get ‘in the zone’ and stay there long enough, like Aussie tennis star Ash Barty, or Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, can realise their dreams and be crowned champions. But what about the rest of us? The [...]

Make the most of today!

News flash… The pandemic is no longer an excuse to be ordinary! It’s been a rollercoaster… things that felt so odd a year ago, now feel relatively normal. As individuals, communities and businesses we’ve accepted, adapted, and got on with it. Consumers were patient and understanding when it was clear we are adapting on the run. Today they expect that we’ve paused, pivoted and embedded the necessary changes to get moving again. Not only do your customers deserve to interact with an engaged, focused version of you that is strongly connected to purpose, they expect it. And in a competitive [...]

Get set for ’21

2020-11-04T00:37:37+00:00

Human connection and conversations have always been a part of life at 3rdView. We care deeply about the people we interact with and the lives that we have the opportunity to shape through our work. In 2020 people have grappled with a myriad of personal and professional challenges in the context of Covid-19. Many businesses are now more accepting and supportive of a human-centred approach. We are all grateful for this. Our conversations have exposed a rollercoaster of emotions… from disorientation, shock, grief, fear and panic, to relief, positivity, clarity and hope. As we move towards year end, we’re hearing [...]

(Re)energise your conversations

2020-09-01T04:29:50+00:00

Leaders have done an amazing job at navigating challenges in the last few months. As we settle into the ‘new normal’, many leaders are finding it difficult to energise, motivate and connect their teams to help them shine. In particular, leaders are telling us… The tools we are using to connect teams remotely have become stale Day to day demands leave no time to think strategically and look to the future People are fatigued and struggle to find the energy to contribute, and leaders struggle to manage under-performance remotely So how can leaders freshen up their team conversations, and reclaim [...]

Adapting to remote facilitation

As experienced facilitators, the 3rdView team loves nothing better than bringing participants and a problem together in a room for a conversation. Thanks to remote working, we’ve enjoyed testing and translating our facilitation fundamentals in a virtual context. We’ve taken the time to prototype a range of situations where facilitators and participants connect over technology, and we’ve learned plenty along the way! To help you fast-track your path to facilitating effective digital conversations, we have narrowed down our top 3 tips on… what to retain as a facilitator what to change as a facilitator participant ‘must haves’ for a great [...]

3 places for ‘Design’ in Schools

2019-01-21T23:44:04+00:00

3rdView is passionate about both Design and Education. As we head Back to School for 2019, it's a great time to consider where we can encourage Design in our schools! Next week Queensland schools will welcome over 800,000 kids for the 2019 school year. Year 12 students will experience the final year of the ‘OP’ system, while Prep students will start their journey as the ‘Class of 2031’. It’s an exciting time to be a student. Technology is changing the way we learn, the jobs we do, and the way we work. Students are connected like never before, and literally [...]

Perfectly Imperfect

2018-11-04T00:50:36+00:00

“Perfectionism is increasing and that’s not good news”. A recent Harvard study tells us that young people are becoming increasingly perfectionistic, and that this is impacting their mental health. Meanwhile, every time we run our Customer-based Design programs senior business people remind us of the expectation of ‘getting it right first time’, regardless of their role or task. They celebrate being given ‘permission’ to prototype, being able to put something rough on the table and refine based on genuine feedback during our course. If everyone is feeling suffocated by perfection, why do we continue to pursue it? It seems that [...]

From customer-phobic to Customer-focused!

2016-06-14T02:45:05+00:00

Are you arachnophobic, agoraphobic or acrophobic? If not, you’ll certainly know someone who is. Fearing spiders, crowded places and heights is not always a bad thing as each of these has an inherent aspect of danger. A phobia is an unhelpful anxiety or fear of a situation or thing. If you are scared of something and it can harm you; that is a good thing. If the fear is present, but the danger is not, such as seeing pictures of spiders or approaching the window in a skyscraper, that is unhelpful and hence, is a phobia. What is Customer Phobia? [...]

Who Cares for your Customers?

2014-04-28T01:48:35+00:00

When we think of customer support, we generally think of the important role that our front-line sales and service people play, but it’s critical to think carefully about the role that every person plays in supporting your customer experience. I mentioned that my new car broke down a few weeks ago (Give your Customers a Break).  The breakdown was one thing, but when they damaged the car trying to get it out of my garage, the issue became a lot more complex. After 5 weeks, 4 re-sprays, 3 attempts to collect the car only to find it wasn’t up to scratch, 2 customer [...]
