Castren & Snellman
Card Games played with clients doesn’t sound too strategic or cost effective, but this firm have developed a way of using specially developed game cards to determine the importance and performance of three value propositions – People, Client Relationships, and Services.
All partners and client-facing staff use these cards with their clients, and at the monthly management meeting, the Managing Partner shares the learning with everyone and reinforces the importance of the initiative. The outcomes are innovative new services, client loyalty, and engaged people.
