The Human Factors Behind Consistent Service Delivery
Consistent service delivery is rarely broken by technology or process alone. In offshore environments, I have seen robust frameworks collapse simply because the human side of operations was misunderstood or underestimated. Tools can be standardised, workflows documented, and KPIs aligned,…
