Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) November 10, 2009 -- CustomerImpact, a solutions and consulting services provider of customer intelligence and dynamic dashboards, has created a comprehensive online assessment tool whereby respondents rate how well their company is performing in six critical areas: Corporate Culture, Customer Listening Program, Service Delivery, Selection of Key Metrics, Analysis/Reporting, and Action/Accountability.
Companies today are certainly talking the talk about their commitment to customer-centricity. But how many are actually walking the walk? What are the characteristics of a company that has moved beyond a product features/benefits focus, instead embracing the concept that continually delivering value to customers will translate to business growth and profits?
Program Description
The Customer-Centricity Audit contains 40 questions across the following six categories:
| | - Corporate Culture—Commitment of the organization to customer-centricity and how that commitment manifests itself
- Customer Listening Program—Existence of enterprise-wide customer feedback programs covering all customer segments in all regions across each product line for every customer touchpoint
- Service Delivery—Availability of training, technology, efficient and effective processes, and comprehensive and accurate customer information to enable service personnel to deliver positive customer experiences
- Selection of Metrics—Tracking metrics that link to KPIs at the corporate strategy level
- Analysis/Reporting—Access to performance measures by executives, managers, and employees, with dashboards incorporating customer perceptions, customer behavioral data, employee perceptions, operational metrics, sales data, and financial data
- Accountability/Action—Existence of formalized process for planning, implementing, and monitoring actions plans, with continual review of their success

Program Deliverables
Based on an assessment of their organization’s progress to date, respondents fall into one of four stages, ranging from Product-Focused to True Customer-Centricity. Upon completion of this self-assessment tool, respondents will immediately be told how many points they accumulated and which of the four stages they have reached, along with a brief description of each stage.
A more detailed report is sent shortly thereafter, describing the range of activities included in each of these six categories. This, in essence, serves as a to-do list. It describes the depth of effort required to achieve true customer-centricity, the progress their organization has made so far, and the amount of work left to do.
Furthermore, CustomerImpact will analyze the results by vertical market and size of company to highlight those areas where companies are achieving successes and to pinpoint where commitment to and implementation of customer-oriented processes are more problematic.
