These concepts further evolved as businesses increasingly place customers at the center of their business. This led to the introduction of relatively new approaches to improve <a title=\"customer experience\" href=\"https:\/\/www.happiestminds.com\/services\/customer-experience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">customer experience<\/a> (Cx); centricity\/focus, obsession, and devotion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Merriweather,Times,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Across the industries, a significant percentage of companies are still stuck in old ways of interacting with customers. However, this trend is changing as more and more organizations are embracing new ways of driving experiences for their customers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Merriweather,Times,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;\">Customer Centricity\/Focused:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Merriweather,Times,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Every time organizations take a decision, it considers the impact that decision will have on customers. Customer-centric organizations are aware that for them to be successful, their customers need to succeed. It\u2019s not about selling your products or services but about helping customers solving their problems or getting work done for them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Merriweather,Times,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Customers are understood and valued to an individual level. The performance measurement is more about emotional value than satisfaction. There is an emphasis on communication and collaboration with customers, between employees, and vice versa. Customer-centric organizations demonstrate committed leadership, courage and a number of specialist competencies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Merriweather,Times,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;\">Examples of Customer-Centric Organizations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 18px 24px; list-style: outside none disc; color: #252525; font-family: Merriweather,Times,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px 19px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 6px;\">Leading IT organizations are using a hybrid design-engineering approach to put users (rather than features) first in the planning process. They try to achieve Customer Confidence through Reengineering &#8211; breaking the silos between departments in the product development process. Instead of a lengthy route of marketing chasing down R&amp;D, QA, regulatory, packaging, and plant contacts with a new feature request from a client, they have taken a new cross-functional approach that responds quickly to customer needs.<\/li>\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px 19px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 6px;\"><strong style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;\">Happiest Minds:<\/strong><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Core culture is about \u2018Happiest People. Happiest Customers\u2019. It\u2019s about an organization creating customer-centric culture with happiness as a foundation for operating business.\u00a0 The belief is that happy and empowered employees make happy customers. For example, SMILES values stand for Sharing, Mindful, Integrity, Learning, Empathy and Sharing.\u00a0 This culture of happiness is a corner stone for customer-centricity which resulted into 100+ customers in over 4 years of operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Merriweather,Times,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;\">Customer Obsession<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Merriweather,Times,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Obsession with customers is the next level. Everyone in the organization (cutting across the functions) is involved in providing value to customers. Throughout the organization, customers\u2019 needs and expectations (functional and especially emotional) are well understood and response is often proactive and appropriate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Merriweather,Times,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">These organizations focus on <em>complete customer lifecycle<\/em>, and much more on retention, loyalty and risk mitigation, win back than acquisition. Multiple sources of data are used to develop insights and invest in altruistic content creation to communicate proactively and in as personalized a manner as possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Merriweather,Times,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">It appropriately makes business sense because these organizations focus on what matters most to their customers, and this directly translates to what monetizes most through <a title=\"customer loyalty\" href=\"https:\/\/www.happiestminds.com\/solutions\/digital-engagement-loyalty-solution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">customer loyalty<\/a>, bonding, advocacy and emotional connect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Merriweather,Times,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Today, e-commerce companies understand that the needs and wants of customers keep changing.

They call the logistics partner on the other line and commit timelines to pick up the damaged item. It means, they are helping customers to resolve their complaint instead of customers having to make multiple calls to more than one service provider.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Merriweather,Times,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;\">Customer Devotion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Merriweather,Times,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Every interaction with the customer is an opportunity to engage, excite and build relationship. Organizations need to gain insights into individual customer\u2019s rational and emotional needs. It requires progression from personalization to individualization. In other words, it\u2019s a canvas called personal portrait.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Merriweather,Times,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Often, organizations are grappled with the sheer volume of customer complaints.
