  Description  
     
  Customer-centricity is not just a marketing story. In fact, in customer-centric companies, everybody is customer-oriented, not only marketing, sales and the “official” service departments. Only the companies that consider the customer-centricity concept as part of its organisational DNA are likely to constantly create product and service value that resonates better with customers, and ensure survival and growth in the furious market competition.  
   
     
  Objective  
     
  The programme aims to help the participants understand that a customer-centric organisation requires a very good collaboration among all its functions, and that the top priority for the development of customer-centric organisation is to build a customer-centric organisational culture. In addition, in order to provide transferable lessons for the participants, some cases in point about the customer-centric organisations in different industries will be analysed.  
   
     
  Participants  
     
 

This programme is aimed at senior lever managers who are responsible for creating customer-centric organization. And another target will be the managers driving the “front line”-interface with customers-service managers, sales managers, CRM managers, call centre managers, etc…. However, the programme will miss a lot if we’re not including managers of support functions, such as IT, logistics, accounting who also have to be, to some extent, at the service of people serving the customer.

 
   
     
  Benefits  
     
 

The programme will help participants:

  • Learn from companies which have achieved a high level of customer satisfaction through customer-centricity
  • Show that customer centricity is a multi-functional posture, not just a marketing gimmick
  • Present to participants the various levels of ambition which do exist in the quest for customer centricity
  • Be clear on what does it take to build outstanding service: achieving excellence requires a perfect coordination between marketing, human resources and operations and technology
  • Make participants aware that moving from product to service orientation is not an incremental step but a metamorphosis
  • Stimulate participants’ “mindstretching” through the study of successful customer orientations which have modified the “rules of the game”
