Planning for COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of us, the changes and impacts will continue for some time. It’s during times like this when you need you remember that you are part of a community of best practice, so don’t be alone. The Forum is your friendly, safe environment for sharing ideas, top tips and pitfalls to avoid. In this time of uncertainty its important that we collaborate and work together, bringing together ideas and use this time as an opportunity to learn and continue to raise standards.

We have designed three short series of learning academy modules, along with a top-tips & pitfalls to avoid for homeworking webinar and then a virtual networking group to help you. Phil Anderson has written an article about some of the considerations you might need to make.

Complaints: Fix It, Face It or F**k It

No matter how good your business is, complaints will always happen. It is like trying to have a barbecue in Britain and hoping it will not rain. Some organisations dream of a world without complaints, pouring money into eliminating every issue. But perfection is not reality. Complaints are inevitable. The challenge is how you respond. And after years of dealing with them, I have found there are only three real approaches:

Fix it – If the problem is fixable, solve it at the root.
Face it – If it is out of your control, own up and handle it.
F**k it – If it is nonsense, let it go.
