The arrival of digital pure players competing with major market stakeholders has reshuffled the previously well established competitive landscape. Newcomers such as AirBnB, Uber and Amazon have successfully disrupted the status quo and gained market share by capitalising on customer experience.
At the same time, both B2C and B2B customers have become more volatile: they want companies to be more responsive, personalise their approach and provide a seamless and efficient service. Whereas established players initially focused on their offerings, now their strategy must become ‘customer-centric’ to establish competitive advantage and attract and retain loyal customers. Some established businesses have understood how to take advantage of these new business models to form mutually beneficial partnerships with their customers to achieve their strategic goals. Transport, for example, now has comprehensive mobility offers to meet the needs of diverse groups of customers. Health insurance companies are also organising themselves in an ecosystem to become their customers’ healthcare partner, with personalised advice, access to medical platforms and home delivery of medication.
At Sopra Steria, we believe that a company’s best asset is its customers and that they should be at the centre of your business strategy. It is essential to position your service offerings and brand around customer experience and to align your entire organisation with your customer promise.
