A customer strategy is the plan that helps us better understand, anticipate and respond to customers’ needs, behaviours and values.

Operational Environment
What changes need to be made to make our operations customer-centric?

Key Considerations:

Does the promise align with the customer strategy?
Is it Customer-Centric?
Is promise achievable and measurable?
Are there clear and
well-conceived journeys
that align with current
customer lifecycles?
What are the barriers or pain points?
Is the customer promise a competitive differentiator?
How is the promise being communicated to customers?
Do we have a Journey
map of the key interactions
that the customer has
with our organization?
Are there Quick wins
for customer experience
improvement in the
short term?

Digital Customer Experience Transformation
Businesses now have to meet their changing digital customer needs and organize themselves to deliver it.

Enhance your customer experience and marketing capabilities by harnessing the power of digital to deliver a great experience.
Integrate physical and digital worlds to deliver customer experiences that lead to profitable growth.

The impact of changing consumer habits and digital innovation
Shifts in consumer buying behaviour have diminished the impact of brand perception on some organizations’ bottom line.
From 2015 to 2018, branded products saw 0 percent dollar growth compared to over 4 percent for private label goods.
In an oversaturated market with dozens of “microbrands” emerging across sectors, organizations need to discover new opportunities for investment and innovation.
As customers expect a company to be accessible at any time, and shop on their preferred channel, companies which offer their customers such a personalized customer experience gain a competitive advantage.
In order for this to happen, everything must be oriented to the customer – business processes, organization, and IT systems in order to optimally align each touchpoint to the needs of the customer, and link all established and future-oriented interaction opportunities along the omnichannel customer journey, thus creating an excellent customer experience for gaining their long-term trust in a brand.
Walmart, for example, plans to enhance their brick-and-mortar footprint by transforming underused store space into “town centers” with food, retail and amusement tenants.
Healthcare organizations from Kaiser Permanente to BayCare are integrating digital solutions across their organizations to deliver care when and where consumers prefer.
