“Working with you to use the Excellence Model helped us focus on the needs of the community and engage front-line staff. We did six months’ work in two weeks – people understood the branch service plans and it helped to set peformance standards for community engagement. It’s kept us on the straight and narrow since, and has made a fundamental change in putting the customer at the heart of the service.” Rob Young, Head of Libraries at Isle of Wight Council
