QSI Overview

In 2007, Chancellor Charlie Nelms established the Quality Service Initiative (QSI) at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) to create a respectful, responsive and encouraging  environment for students, faculty and staff that will lead to greater retention and graduation rates.  QSI provides an organizational focus on quality, customer satisfaction, teamwork and leadership within all NCCU functions with a view towards enhancing the experiences of its stakeholders and ensuring the long-term success of the university.

The Quality Service Initiative (QSI) is a dedicated individual and team effort towards achieving a culture of service at NCCU. QSI training provides quality service knowledge and skills. The performance management process provides accountability by including the delivery of quality service as a key responsibility and expectation for every NCCU employee. Individual and team action plans help to improve processes and enhance the delivery of services.

In conjunction with other cross-functional activities, the QSI will result in a quality-focused and customer-driven culture which will assure NCCU’s continued success in recruiting, retaining and graduating our primary customers – our students. For more detailed information, please see the QSI Brochure.
