Essential steps to achieving customer centricity
At Accenture, we believe that the key to achieving high performance lies in creating a competitive advantage based on customer centricity, not products and pricing. We believe that insurers must create a tailored, branded, scalable multichannel experience, with the following areas of focus:
- Segmentation. Analytics and segmentation enables insurers to provide the tailored experience that customers seek.
- Creating an experience. Insurers must create offers that evoke positive responses from their target customer segments.
- Operating model and technology. Insurers must separate product manufacturing and distribution, and review technology needs.
- Talent. Sales and service personnel must be aligned to customer segments, rather than products and services.
- Measurement. Only by measuring and analyzing customer responses can insurers truly understand and refine their approach.
