Customer expectations have changed. We now live in an experience economy where every customer values and expects high-touch, high-quality experiences with brands. With the rise of the cloud and subscription models, customers no longer buy software once and maintain it forever; instead, they evaluate each vendor every year and decide whether they’re providing value. They crave a relationship with brands at every step, innovation, and regular product updates, and an outlet to share feedback on changes they’d like to see.

We hear companies throwing around common phrases like, ‘Customer centricity is at the heart of our organisation’ and ‘We’re very much in tune with the needs of our customers’. Not surprisingly, seeing as how according to a study carried out by Bain and company, 80% of organisations they surveyed believed that they were providing a superior customer experience to their customers. Meanwhile, just 8% of their customers shared this opinion. Only eight percent! This is a huge disconnect and gap in perception, one that is commonly referred to as the customer experience gap.

A relentless focus on the customer is not just an important strategy, it is mission-critical for companies to survive in today's retail climate. When it comes to delivering the best customer experience, it is what is on the inside that counts: the retailer's people and its company culture. So, how is a customer-centric company culture built? Experts agree that a customer-driven culture results organically when employees individually and collectively prioritize customer needs above all else. Ultimately, being customer-centric requires a work environment where employees fully embrace the core values of empathy and servant leadership.
Recently, McKinsey & Co. studied the relationship between customer centricity and revenue growth. They concluded customer impact — the empathy to recognize and act upon the needs of customers — led all leadership competencies. Not only that, but the degree of customer impact also correlated with respondent company revenue growth. While the customer may not always be right, they are certainly always valued in high performing organizations.
