We know intuitively that managing the customer portfolio well leads to improved business performance. This slide deck shares important insights into what makes customer management work and how to measure it. This is based on research done by QCi (the main players now with The Customer Framework Ltd) and although I put this deck together 6 years ago I was astounded as to how relevant the thinking still is. The sad reality is that Customer Management capability hasn't improved very much over the years (in the majority of cases, hence we are still subject to inconsistent and poor customer experience) yet it remains a topic that is spoken about and focussed upon by many organisations. The difference that I find today versus 7 or 8 years ago is that MORE people talk about customer management than previously, however I don't se much improvement in the understanding of what it involves or much improved capability in operationalizing customer centric business.(this is a generalised statement)
