Knowledge-Centered Service® v6 Leadership Workshop
Overview
Knowledge-Centered Service (KCS) Version 6 is a business methodology that was developed and tested by members of the Consortium for Service Innovation.Success in a Knowledge-Centered Service environment requires managers to behave differently because leading a value based, knowledge-centric operation is fundamentally different than managing an activity based, transaction-centric operation. Managers need and deserve support in understanding the requirements and dynamics of this new environment.
This workshop gives managers a new perspective on their role as leaders of a KCS adoption and develops the skills needed to successfully lead a knowledge-centered organisation. On completion of the class, students will be understand how to assess organisational performance in a Knowledge-Centered Service environment, create a strategic framework, appreciate the key requirements for a successful KCS adoption and communicate the KCS value proposition to executives, managers and knowledge responders.
The Knowledge-Centered Service Leader workshop is intended for team leaders, managers and directors in service and support organisations who are in the process of migrating to the KCS methodology. The Knowledge-Centered Service Foundations workshop is a pre-requisite for anyone wishing to attend this class.

Steve was an excellent instructor and presenter! I would strongly recommend this company/instructor/class!
I was completely new to KCS. Steve did an excellent job and presented the knowledge perfectly. I really enjoyed the training and look forward to promote KCS in our company.
Very good course, great presenter.
Thank You!!
Excellent
I enjoyed the content of information & look forward to this being imbedded into our department. Stephane was a great instructor who allowed in depth conversations & different points of view occur. Very helpful & friendly
Some repetition which create impatience. Better put that time on ” give example from your company” or more exercise.
Steve our instructor has been absolutely great in helping understand the whole KCS model. Now the hard work begins! lol! 🙂 Very knowledgeable and supportive.
Excellent course. Great examples! Thanks
Thank you Steve, I’ve known much more than I expected!
Good learning experience. Gained clarity for multiple concepts relate dto KCS that were being unknowingly incorrectly followed.
Looking forward to have more exercise during the session
It was very good, just that it could have been more interactive.Few topics were and could have been handled differently
The content of the course was excellent. Could have included some cases related to Customer Support
The session is very informative and helps understand the topic well
Amazing session. For the first time we have a trainer who answers every question with such context. Amazing experience to meet & learn from someone who himself is a knowledge base to clarify anything and everything.
Steve has been a great inspiration
Exceptional
Steve is clearly very educated and passionate about KCS. He has given me a lot of knowledge and practical experience which i can use in our KCS Adoption. I plan to stay in touch with Steve and would definitely consider another of his training classes […
Lot of general leadership stuff on the course. Would like to see more on KCS specifics/best practices. Balanced scorecard stuff was good. Steve is a great presenter and brought material to life.
Great training, as always!!
Great activities during the day, eye opening and very appropriate to the challenges we may face.
Steve was great! Amazing presenter & very informative.
Great course. The interactive sessions were especially helpful + engaging to me.
The instructor built in many exercises & role plays into the training, which are very practical scenarios we’d encounter in our rollout.
Excellent!! Thanks for all of the brainstorming on what could work at PayPal.
As per previous 2 days. Number of exercises/role plays was good to reinforce material.
Many many thanks. Great help brilliant picture both in the matter, and beyond. Patrick
Not knowing anything about the subject it was rather a nice surprise. It raised very interesting points and questions. Teacher was outstanding.
The class was so much more activating, giving great understanding about how to spot if KCS is working and what to do about it if it is not.
Today’s training was very good. Role plays & activities helped me understand KCS more. Steve was best as usual. All my questions were answered. Feel more confident now. He is very friendly trainer, I felt that I can go to him any time I need his advice.
Lots of practical advice.
Great course – got so much knowledge on this :-). Thanks Steve
Really useful for my role as will have to convince senior management of benefits. Also good practices on rollout & issues to look for and how to avoid.
Excellent course, good exercises.
