Consumer markets are often extremely competitive. For example, wireless service providers or consumer electronics have come to understand that an exemplary product no longer guarantees success. When the quality or value of a product no longer sets a business apart from the competition, other factors come into play.Companies held high in customers' esteem will typically be successful. Historically, these include businesses focused on increasing efficiency in production, cost reduction, and other internal processes. However, one of the most effective ways to leave customers satisfied is to let their needs and requirements be the driving force behind business process improvements.Customer-driven process improvement is an approach where customer feedback is an opportunity for organizations to analyze their operations and processes, and find ways to improve customer satisfaction. This book outlines a six-stage framework for the identification and implementation of customer driven process improvement opportunities.The framework includes learning how to determine customer needs and translating these needs into process requirements. It also discusses how to map and measure current processes, analyze process problems, and identify improvement ideas and solutions. Finally, it includes instruction on how to successfully implement and sustain process improvements.A business is as unique as the individual processes that it uses. This book offers a foundation for successful customer-driven process improvement. It introduces the ideas and tools for identifying your customers' needs, and incorporating these needs into your processes. Doing this will give you the competitive edge that's important to thrive in contemporary marketplaces.

The global economy is witnessing previously unseen levels of competitiveness, forcing business leaders to contend with unprecedented challenges. No longer can companies seize and hold a customer base by operating adequately. In order to enjoy a competitive advantage, an organization must operate at exemplary levels of performance in every facet of business and maintain that degree of excellence indefinitely. This is achieved through careful alignment of operational systems and the use of innovative process management initiatives. “Unless an organization is uniquely qualified to deal with its customers by understanding its own strengths and weakness,” writes internationally renowned operational management expert Christopher K. Ahoy, “it will be unable to understand what is required to move from the current paradigm of doing business.” In Customer-Driven Operations Management, Ahoy distills the most current business theories and practices that will help you weed out and eliminate operational inefficiencies and put in place the necessary metrics for providing products and services better, cheaper, and faster than ever. Ahoy walks you through the steps of creating a world-class organization, which include Mapping your company's processes to target weak points Realigning management systems from functional to process-focused Setting benchmarks throughout the process to help quantify levels of success Establish a system of knowledge management for the seamless alignment of teams and departments Improving process management using Lean, Six Sigma, and other methodologies Create a sound strategic planning initiative to eliminate future surprises With diagrams and figures to highlight salient points, Customer-Driven Operations Management clarifies and simplifies the otherwise daunting task of enacting major changes in your company's operations systems.

Customer Driven Strategy Thomas F. Wallace Strategic Planning, in many companies, consists of annual treks to resorts for two days of planning and one day of golf. These strategy "retreats" often produce impressive, bound plans, which tend to collect dust on the bookshelves of managers throughout the company. The net impact on the business is obviously nil. Despite this annual performance gap, developing a dynamic operating strategy is essential to the survival and success of every enterprise. It's also critical for companies to develop a viable strategy by creating customer-driven plans, focused on consistently delivering value to the customer in every aspect of a company's operation. Customer-Driven Strategy takes you beyond the traditional approaches to planning and strategy implementation. It brings the reality of delivering value to your customers into the essential aspects of your business. It helps you to create, implement, and manage a flexible, dynamic plan that's committed to your customer. Tom Wallace shows how to develop this customer-driven perspective by implementing a holistic, fully integrated strategic approach in the following areas: Initiating a customer-driven planning process Leveraging continuous-improvement initiatives Developing innovative approaches in high performance work teams Creating a learning environment that fosters constant innovation Maximizing the market impact of new products Using planning and control systems to their greatest potential Sustaining new partnerships with suppliers for competitive advantage Developing accurate, effective performance measures Implementing customer-driven strategies for the maximum benefit of the business-and your customers Packed with practical advice and guidelines, Customer-Driven Strategy gives you the proven tools and techniques to realize significant improvements in your company's operations-today. In addition, you can learn how Hewlett Packard, Steelcase, Tellabs, and other companies dramatically improved their performance through customer-focused strategic planning.

There has been a sea-change in the focus of organizations - whether private or public - away from a traditional product- or service-centricity towards customer-centricity and projects are just as much a part of that change. Projects must deliver value; projects must involve stakeholders, and Elizabeth Harrin and Phil Peplow demonstrate convincingly that stakeholders are the ones who get to decide what ’value’ actually means. Customer-Centric Project Management is a short guide explaining what customer-centricity means in terms of how you work and its importance for project performance; using tools and processes to guide customer-centric thinking will help you see the results of engagement and demonstrate how things can improve, even on difficult projects. The text provides a straightforward implementation guide to moving your own business to a customer-centric way of working, using a model called Exceed and provides some guidance for ensuring that customer-centricity is sustainable and supported in the organization. This is a practical, rigorous and well-researched text. It draws on established models and uses the example of project implementation in a healthcare environment to demonstrate the impact of this significant way of thinking about value. The authors can’t guarantee that the Exceed process will radically improve project success rates, and no process can. Adopting a customer-centric mindset and using the Exceed process to measure and monitor customer satisfaction will, however, help you move towards working with happier, more engaged stakeholders.

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Trade and Distribution, grade: 1,8, Leeds Metropolitan University, course: Strategic Services Management, language: English, abstract: Each business should have one major focus to be able to develop and satisfy the market needs. Obviously this focus is the customer. It does not matter who the customer is defined as he/she has to be defined for each company in a different way. The main thing is that all efforts are addressed to the customer. Every company sells products or services to customers so from a quality assurance point of view it is crucial to develop products in reference to market needs or customer needs respectively. This is the focus for the assignment. A general guideline for an efficient product development process should be created with the overall objective – customer centric product development combined with an improved internal workflow. Anderson et al (2006, p. 1) states that customer value proposition is one of the most widely used terms in business in recent years. So it is important that a company is able to help customers understand the superior value of the products or service offered. Under pressure to keep costs down, customers may only look at the price and so it is important to think about the customer value proposition but also the comparison to the competitors of a specific market environment. This should flow into this assignment as well. Another problem of product development is that in many companies it is rather influenced by opinions of different sales people then by facts and figures. According Annacchino (2007, p. 101) a lot of companies tend to make a mistake at the product definition step, so that the customer is not really involved in the product development process. In reference to the definition of customer-defined needs there are different ways: • A company can use direct customer surveys to solicit feedback and to obtain information in a direct manner. • Another way is a focused group discussion which allows multiple-person input and prompted discussion to generate ideas. • A third possibility is a suggestion system and communication platform for customers and stakeholders.
