Communicating with your customers to fully comprehend what they require from your organisation, allowing everyone within your company to understand their roles and responsibilities, and communicating with management at all levels. Through measurable indicators encouraged by the standard, management will have a better understanding of the company's performance and be able to make more informed decisions.
