Design a Customer-Centric Digital Operating Model

Putting the customer at the center of digital transformation.

  • Uncoordinated efforts for initiatives within organizational siloes fail to address the end-to-end customer journeys.
  • Organization lacks guidance on establishing a new operating model around customer journeys.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

  • Improving customer satisfaction at individual touchpoints does not translate into enhanced experience for an end-to-end customer journey.
  • A new operating model around customer journeys must be established for success.
  • An organization with the traditional structure and the legacy processes and technology must first learn from redesigning a few critical journeys as lighthouse initiatives before scaling.

Impact and Result

  • Sustainable increase in customer satisfaction over end-to-end journeys.
  • Increase in critical KPIs associated with journeys, e.g. time-to-resolution for a classic “I resolve” journey.
  • Increase in satisfaction for employees associated with journeys.
  • Faster time-to-market for new features: from yearly to monthly or even biweekly releases.
