In the digital economy, where new media is becoming increasingly fragmented and consumers are
being constantly inundated by information, meeting their expectations has never been more complex. Now, customers are making decisions quicker, and many companies find themselves powerless in influencing such decisions. The prime reason is simple: the transparency of the web has changed the business game forever. Customers are empowered and dictate what they want, when and where they want it. Following Google’s philosophy, “focus on the customer and all else will follow” many organisations are becoming more customer-centric.
This programme will enable you to embark on a journey of revisiting and co-designing your customer-centric
strategies in 1 day.
Programme OutlineStep 1 - Approach
Leveraging the power of data analytics, you can get closer to your
customers and understand their preferences and buying patterns. First, you will identify and define a business problem that can be solved by using external and internal customer data. Following that,
you will learn and practise relevant data collection and analytical methods to solve those problems. Critical issues such as “when to use what techniques”, and “which is the best tool” will be addressed.
Step 2 - Create
Using historical data is a double-edged sword. Although we can learn
from the past, it will also hinders our creative thinking and progress. Arguably, historical data often fails in predicting customers’ future needs. Most customer breakthroughs originate from a unique ‘insight’
– the identification of an unmet need. To create a customer insight for tomorrow, we need to understand problems from a human perspective, and to find meaningful purpose behind innovation.
Guided by behavioural research, you will learn new ways to uncover insights behind what customers need and desire and practise relevant techniques in searching for novelty and usefulness of customer
insights.
Step 3 - Validate
There are huge economical and social implications if your customer insights are wrong. For the purpose
of validation and evaluation, examples and methods will be introduced to design and conduct Action Research in a simple way. You will see quick results of small-scale experiments and fine-tune your customer insights, to reduce business risks and uncertainties.
Who Should AttendProfessionals and managers who make strategic decisions on customer relationship management,
customer service and customer experience design.
The “Customer Focus Begins with Me ” workshop can be adapted to and customized for different
industries and sectors. We welcome you to bring in your own business problems, concerns and customer
data to co-create a new and promising customer focus.
