What is your company’s trendsetter? For many, the answer is vision or strategy, hopefully. But how does your company’s strategy take into account the customer perspective, their challenges, needs and expectations? Surely they are taken into account in some way, but is there a sufficient level of understanding.
Customer insight is not just about gathering information, it is a chance to see the future of a company through the eyes of the customer. Customers are the heart of the strategy and it is through them that a winning plan is created to guide the business towards success.
The power of customer insight in strategy work
Understanding your customers brings your vision to life and creates deeper meaning in your value proposition. With a clear vision, a company can build a strategy that not only pursues growth, but that truly resonates in the marketplace and speaks to customers in a way that brings them closer.
Why is customer insight at the heart of the strategy?
Clarify the vision and find meaning
Through our customers, we find a common vision that guides all our activities. Knowing your customers’ real needs and desires allows you to build a value proposition that is more than words. It’s a promise that customers experience in every encounter.
Create a winning strategy
Customer understanding is the basis of the strategy. Knowing what motivates your customers and where they get added value allows you to develop a strategy that stands out and drives you towards scalable success.
Achieve your goals
Clear, customer-oriented objectives guide your actions and help you focus on the right things. When your strategy and its implementation in every customer encounter resonates with customers, they not only return, but also recommend you to others.
Put the strategy into practice
Even the finest strategy cannot live without the people who make it happen. Every person in the company needs to understand why the direction has been chosen and how their work is driving the company forward.
A strategy is not just a piece of paper and a set of beautifully presented objectives, it is the story of a company. At its best, it tells your customers that they are part of the story and that they also have a say in the direction the partnership is going.
