Eight ways to embrace the Enlightened Customer

“We are trying so hard but achieving so little” this phrase echoes around many organisations who are trying desperately to form and execute a customer centric vision and culture. Why is it proving so hard?

Guest blog: James Dodkins

The first thing we need to understand is that in the 21st century our customers are very different animals. Both you and I as customers have transformed beyond recognition, our changing attitudes and habits make us very difficult to keep up with. Some people have described this phenomenon as the ‘Enlightened Customer’ and it takes an enlightened organisation to deliver outstanding service to this new breed.

The spread of the internet has been the catalyst for this change in customers, we are all connected to each other, we are connected all of the time without exception, we are connected through many different devices and mediums, we are living in an always-on world.

Because customers have been exposed to more of the world… Read the full story (and get access to a FREE hands-on Customer Experience session)….

Customer Experience Management (CEM) definition

Honestly, someone has got a grip on this. How can a definition be so difficult to come by? They are either soft, fluffy and meaningless or, try as they might, nothing to actually do with delivering successful customer outcomes. So there you have it, and here is the definitive definition:

Customer Experience Management (CEM or CXM) is a strategic approach used most commonly as a competitive differentiator. It involves aligning every aspect of an organisation towards the delivery of customer needs and successful outcomes no matter how far removed the customer is perceived to be.
This includes:
          Customer journey – what the customer does, expects and feels.
          Customer Interactions.
          Supporting internal process.
          Associated team and hierarchy structures.
          Performance metrics.
          Digital capabilities.
          Vision, mission & strategy.

Typically companies who engage in Customer Experience Management activities out perform those who do not.
