How we start working together

Executive Hospitality Performance Assessment

This is a standalone executive advisory service that can be commissioned independently by luxury hospitality organizations seeking an objective evaluation of their member experience.

Experiencing your organization through the perspective of a member, ZD Hospitality observes every stage of the hospitality experience to uncover the strengths, inconsistencies, and opportunities that often go unnoticed from within the organization.

The evaluation provides executive leadership with an independent perspective on whether the member experience reflects the organization’s standards, positioning, and membership value, along with clear, prioritized recommendations for meaningful improvement.

Duration varies based on size and complexity of the organization.
