KCS in the Real World

July 22, 2014 by David Kay

Some of my favorite emails from customers are forwards of emails from team members reflecting on KCS. Here’s a great example, with grateful thanks to the Customer Who Shall Remain Nameless who shared it.

KCS At Work: Daktronics Does It Right

May 1, 2013 by David Kay

There’s nothing like hearing about KCS from someone who is actually doing it—and benefitting from it.  Our friends at Daktronics just sent this great email along, and kindly gave us permission to share it on the blog. Daktronics is a South Dakota-based manufacturer of LED signboards, from high school football scoreboards to major league arena […]

Summer Reading! Lessons Unlearned

June 26, 2012 by David Kay

Just because a book is full of really great information doesn’t mean it can’t be fun to read.  For example, take John Ragsdale’s wonderful first book: Lessons Unlearned: 25 Years in Customer Service.  John Ragsdale (@john_ragsdale). Unlike the books I’ve reviewed earlier. I’m not even going to pretend to be objective here: I’m a big […]

Hack Your Knowledgebase

February 16, 2012 by David Kay

We all hate our knowledgebase tools sometimes.  We might like the people we work with at the vendor, and there are those really cool features, but…seriously?  I can’t just get a list of all the articles Joe has written?  I can’t use bullets without ruining the formatting?  I have to hit “publish” three times after […]

You are not a scalable model

April 26, 2011 by David Kay

We mean this in the nicest way, but you don’t scale. You’ve put yourself in that process step with the best of intentions. You’re going to write the Content Standard by yourself because everyone else is so busy, and it really has to get done quickly. You’re going to review knowledge before publication because you […]
