Lessons in putting the customer at the heart of all activities within your organisation (or department).

Changing the way you understand your customers (both internal and external) brings new insights that enable you create a Customer Promise – a change in the definition of the business (or individual role) to a statement of customer benefit (rather than a description of your expertise). This was the key to both driving innovation and creating a simple leadership tool that unlocked the potential of the whole organisation.
– How concepts such as “soft insights”, “customer expectations, “customer’s customer” and the “blank sheet of paper” approach gave new insights that enable competitive advantage.
– How the Customer Promise provides a simple leadership tool that places the customer at the heart of everyone’s work.
– Implications for both Customer engagement and Leadership.

– Setting the right ambition to drive innovative behaviour.

– Great communication is, of course important, but other lessons learned include the “Power of Ambition”, “Ruthless simplicity”, “Champions”, “Customer focused organisational design” and the “Make it Easy” model.
