According to the American Society for Quality, customer satisfaction is defined by data that clearly determines our clients’ happiness with an organisation’s products and services.
In organisations where the customer is at the heart of decision-making, the traditional customer funnel approach is replaced with what is referred to as the Flywheel, which takes its name from the incredibly energy-efficient wheel invented by James Watt.
The amount of energy the wheel stores depends on its spinning speed, friction with surfaces, and size. The concept of the energy generated by the wheel can be likened to the power held by our customers to grow our business. This is why it is of crucial importance to an organisation’s continued success to ensure that all strategies are centered around the customers.
The importance of a customer-centric approach in the supply chain
Organisations around the world are currently faced with a global supply chain that is rife with disruptions and delays, both of which can have a negative impact on a business itself and relationships with customers.
This combined with an ever-changing and evolving market has made the supply chain an increasingly strenuous environment. As such, developing a customer-centric strategy has become integral to continued growth.
This means putting customer satisfaction at the forefront of every stage of the supply chain in order to meet growing or sudden demand. Developing this customer-centric approach will in fact allow your organisation to build up supply chain resiliency and allow for more adaptability when trends in the market begin to shift.
62% of supply chain leaders have invested in technology to leverage customer data and drive supply chain innovation, according to a survey published by strategical planning organisation, Gartner. Three recommendations were put to leaders to improve the customer experience: Coordinate to create a customer-centric culture, adopt a strategy for improving the customer experience, and build a cross-functional understanding of the customer.
