What are the key customer focused practices for Performance Excellence?
Identify the most important customer groups and markets, considering competitors and other potential customers, and segment the customer base to better meet differing needs. Understand both near-term and longer-term customer needs and expectations (the “voice of the customer”) and employ systematic processes for listening and learning from customers, potential customers, and customers of competitors to obtain actionable information about products and customer support. Understand the linkages between the voice of the customer and design, production, and delivery processes; and use voice-of-the-customer information to identify and innovate product offerings and customer support processes to meet and exceed customer requirements and expectations, to expand relationships, and to identify and attract new customers and markets. Create an organizational culture and support framework that allows customers to easily contact an organization to conduct business, receive a consistently positive customer experience, provide feedback, obtain assistance, receive prompt resolution of their concerns, and facilitate improvement. Manage customer relationships that build loyalty, enhance satisfaction and engagement, and lead to the acquisition of new customers. Measure customer satisfaction, engagement, and dissatisfaction; compare the results relative to competitors and industry benchmarks; and use the information to evaluate and improve organizational processes.
