SOURCE: From a friend of mine who runs the business banking division of one of the major banks. He stole the Disney service principles and his people agreed to adopt them as their own. How do yours compare? What do you mean you haven't got any? Rip these off, adapt them if necessary and ask your service people if they will adopt them as their own. If they don't fit, ask your people to look at them and come up with their own suggestions then adopt the ones that get the most votes. People buy into it if they made it.
