Before launching an initiative, leadership must address these foundational points.
Executive Commitment: Is there a genuine, visible, and long-term commitment from the C-suite? A customer-centric transformation cannot be delegated; it must be led from the top.
Defining "Customer-Centricity": What does being "customer-centric" look like for your specific business? It must be defined in clear, behavioral terms that every employee can understand.
Measurement: How will you measure success? This requires moving beyond traditional metrics (like revenue) to include customer-focused KPIs like Net Promoter Score (NPS), Customer Satisfaction (CSAT), and Customer Lifetime Value (CLV).
Incentives and Recognition: Do current employee incentives, performance reviews, and reward systems support customer-centric behavior? If employees are only rewarded for hitting sales targets, they will prioritize that over the customer experience.
Firstly, we would like to hear your story. In order to obtain a good first insight in the challenges you are facing, upon your direction, we will conduct one or multiple interviews with the main internal stakeholders.
We will also conduct a quick scan to understand the internal perception of level of customer focus amongst a larger internal audience.
Simultaneously, we will review the alignment between the Customer Centricity drivers and the applied marketing enablers (e.g. the brand position guide, applied service concept, marketing-mix elements, e-commerce implementation, and customer relationship management).
Following our initial reflections - and upon reaching a mutual understanding of the situation and your ambitions and constraints - we will articulate initial short -and long-term options.
Upon your consent with the proposed program(s) scope, we will draft one or multiple program outlines, including suggested objectives, strategies, KPIs, SLAs, budgets, and time frames.
