Telecoms

GoodCorporation’s work in this sector helps our clients to measure responsible business behaviour and to put in place commercially sensible policies and practices that meet the regulator’s demands and the expectations of customers, most recently in the area of data protection assessing the adequacy of procedures to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

In telecoms, the pricing challenges are significant. Our assessments have found real challenges in developing pricing policies and systems that deliver clarity and fairness for the customer. Where tariffs are not clear or not understood, reputation can be damaged. Our assessments typically include a mystery customer exercise so that we can properly understand the customer purchasing and interaction experiences.

Much of the growth and opportunity for telecoms companies exists in emerging markets. In some of these markets there are significant challenges of interfacing with governments in a fair and responsible way. In these markets there are also challenges in terms of employee practices, quality and reliability of suppliers and partners, as well as challenges in terms of CSR and community relations. Our assessments have helped our clients operating in these environments to carefully measure and assess how well business practices work and help our clients put in place corrective actions where they are needed.

Our clients in this sector have included: BT, Vodafone, Orange (France Telecom), Computacenter, Logicalis, Telefónica O2.
