Managing Expectations in Australia Training Course
The Managing Expectations Training course is a true lightbulb moment. Everyone gets to see the organisation from another perspective. For instance, the Managing Expectations inhouse workshop was delivered over 3 weeks for a large retail outlet in 2025. The CEO was gob-smacked at how their customers perceived the products and service compared to their expectations.
It’s like an artist being besotted with their art. What they see is different to what others see. How do you know what others see and expect? Do the course and remove the blinkers .
In this bespoke managing expectations workshop, you’ll learn how to effectively manage internal and external expectations. You’ll also discover a proven service recovery methodology to use when perceived expectations are not met. This course was designed by an organisational psychologist who has researched the setting of expectations for over 25 years. Don’t miss out!
Progressive organisations understand that constantly mopping up areas of customer and staff disappointment is ineffective. Research concurs that it is often more effective to manage the expectations.
