- 10. Human Touch and the Bottom line
By studying human interactions as a process…
• If fulfilled guests went from 92% to 97% over 2 years
– 4 million room nights a year
– If 5% previously dissatisfied guests (200,000) did not leave
the hotel unfulfilled and didn’t tell others of dissatisfaction =
8% additional occupancy
– +8% occupancy rate = $300 mil. in additional profit
– $300 mil. could never be achieved by cost-cutting w/o
significantly affecting customer satisfaction

Fatal Technology Assumptions
• We’ll “save money” by pushing customers to
technology channels and lose nothing
• A single view of the customer is not critical
• Asking for personal info before trust is OK
• Design w/o considering emotional content
• Expecting they'll tolerate a few “bugs”
• Design for our efficiency, convenience, and control
and they won’t lose theirs
• Design for task execution alone, not to enable more

• 90% of Westpac change effort (SPP / Pinnacle / Reach / Red Power / Ask Once) is addressing 30% of buying influences (customers as consumers)
• Westpac will get 70% of return by addressing the last 10% that impacts buying influences of customers as people (actual customer behavioural change: stay/buy more/tell others)
• Therefore, need to hardwire “high-order human touch” elements into the evolution of change programs to drive a dominant leadership position
