THE CONTEXT

Sustaining profitability and keeping your company ahead of competition in today’s economy is an increasingly challenging task

Margins are constantly shrinking and competition is now raging everywhere.

Furthermore, companies need to invest more time and resources than ever to succeed with customers

Customers are ever more demanding and have information

overload

An Era where the customer is who decides what, how and when to purchase and how much is willing to pay for a product or service.

Customer goes here now

Let’s open the eyes to see that we all live in a New Age of Customers

As a result, today’s businesses face threats that require organization-wide and integrated management approaches

The Smart Customer Management Model is an opportunity to develop your organization’s customer-centered capability and rely on a process-driven improvement path.

THE MODEL

MATURITY LEVEL 1: INITIALThe organization has no consistent way of focusing on the customer. Since most customer related processes are ad-hoc, they are constantly reinvented on each project, and frequently appear chaotic.

MATURITY LEVEL 2: FOUNDATIONALUnits or project workgroups establish the foundation for the organization to become more customer-oriented by institutionalizing selected processes.

MATURITY LEVEL 3: ORGANIZATIONALThere is inconsistency in how process areas are implemented across units and/or projects and there is little synergy in the organization. Thus the organization is missing opportunities.

MATURITY LEVEL 4: ANALYTICALThe organization establishes quantitative objectives for customer value and process areas performance and use them as criteria for overall business management.

MATURITY LEVEL 5: INNOVATIVEThe organization continually improves its process areas based on fine-grained customer data quantitative analysis and treats change management as an ordinary business process.
