Service Experience Alignment Checklist

A wellness organization's service experience is made of many small moments: the promise, inquiry, first response, intake, handoff, visit, follow-up, and continued relationship.

Use this checklist to review whether those moments are aligned enough to support trust, belonging, and growth.

Promise Alignment

Team Handoff Alignment

• [ ] Each handoff has an owner.
• [ ] Required customer information moves with the person.

Delivery Alignment
