The Customer- Centerd
Enterprise
How IBM and Other World-Class
Companies Achieve Extraordinary Results by Putting Customer First
The Revolutionary Program
that IBM and Other Innovative Firms Are Using to Attract New Customers and Keep Them for
Life!
As we enter the 21st century,
IBM history's most remarkable organization has transformed itself into a decentralized,
customer-driven company. Through its revolutionary Customer Value Management (CVM)
approach, it incorporates customers' needs and wants into every process, business system,
and decision and has made itself the benchmark against which other companies measure
themselves.
The Customer-Centered
Enterprise is the first book to provide a step-by-step report on CVM, demonstrating how
you can weave its techniques and strategies into your own firm's operations. Written by
Harvey Thompson IBM's Global Executive for Worldwide Customer Value Management and
the primary architect of CVM The Customer-Centered Enterprise outlines a methodical
approach and operational framework to:
Provide customer-defined
ideal value at every touch point with your business
Attract and retain customers
by establishing differentiation even in commodity-like markets
Shift your focus from
internal concerns (cost cutting, efficiency) to external (creating exceptional value for
the customer)
Prioritize and target
specific customer needs for business process improvement and investment
By fully embracing CVM, IBM
and other major corporations have attained market leadership and replaced product-driven,
inside-out viewpoints with customer-driven, outside-in approaches. Learn how they did it
and how you can do it in your own organization in the new marketing classic The
Customer-Centered Enterprise.
