Customer centric culture management

pilotage

1) The culture challenge:

Culture is intangible, and yet very concrete.

It is made of unspoken rules, underlying assumptions, behaviours and expectations that govern the way people approach their work and interact with each other.

It is what drives what people do when nobody is watching

Culture is a key factor to get your team members to fully embrace their role, and operate at the best of their potential.

It is the humus on which strategies, methodologies and daily reflexes will grow.

Culture is an accurate predictor of performance.

A customer centric performance is at the core of competitive advantage and will lay the ground for self-sustained growth.

 

2) What are the benefits of a customer centric culture?

Today's distracted consumers, bombarded with informations and options, often struggle to distinguish one product/solution from another.

The quality of the experience they go through at every touch point with your brand is the real differentiator.

Better customer retention and higher customer profitability are the reward of a customer centric culture.

The idea of value might be very different for the company’s team members and for its customers.

In a customer centric organisation team members develop a deep understanding of the true needs and aspirations of their customers.19.jpg

No matter what they do, they do it with value for Customer in mind, rather than their own concept of value.
A basic example would be to focus on client’s benefits instead of product features.

They consistently deliver a value in line with your overall business strategy and brand promise.

In Bain & Company’s recent survey of the customers of 362 companies, 80% of the companies surveyed believed that the experience they have been providing is superior.
Yet only 8% of their customers described their experience as indeed “superior”.


In addition, companies with a customer centric culture find ways to connect their employees to something larger that they can believe in, and give them a feeling that they are a contributing part of something bigger than themselves.

As a result, a customer centric culture brings about stronger employee engagement.

Everyone wants to work for the "best" company and thus being customer centric will also help you to attract the best people, so recruitment costs will be lower.
