"When I worked for IBM, the customer was always right. In today’s column I interview Vineet Nayer, CEO of HCL Technologies, one of the largest I.T. outsourcing firms in the world. Vineet argues that how it got to be one of the world’s largest IT firms is by putting employees first and customers second. Sounds radical, but when he explains, it makes sense."

  • The question is “what is the core business of any corporation?” and the answer is to create different shared value for its customers.
  • The answer to that question is the business of managers and management should be to enthuse and encourage employees so that they can create a different shared value: enhance employees first and customers second.

"As the marketing power of social media grows, it no longer makes sense to treat it as an experiment. Here’s how senior leaders can harness social media to shape consumer decision making in predictable ways."

  • In short, today’s chief executive can no longer treat social media as a side activity run solely by managers in marketing or public relations. It’s much more than simply another form of paid marketing, and it demands more too: a clear framework to help CEOs and other top executives evaluate investments in it, a plan for building support infrastructure, and performance-management systems to help leaders smartly scale their social presence

"Cette étude qui explore les "Nouveaux comportements et nouvelles attentes des consommateurs en matière de Relation Client" permet d'établir une typologie des consommateurs en matière de préférences relationnelles, mais surtout de comprendre les motivations et facteurs qui expliquent ces préférences. Elle bat tout d'abord en brèche l'idée selon laquelle les technophobes disparaîtront lorsque les consommateurs appartiendront tous à la génération "Y". Elle remet également en cause l'idée selon laquelle le fait d'offrir au consommateur le choix parmi tous les canaux (point de vente - centre de contact - Web) est le gage de sa satisfaction. Elle fait également émerger la notion de "jachère relationnelle"."

  • Bien sûr le fait que l’étude soit effectuée via Internet constitue une limite : 20 à 30% des consommateurs ne s’y reconnaitrons pas ! Rappelons que 30% des français n’utilisent jamais ou très rarement Internet, dont 20% n’ont jamais utilisé un ordinateur.

  • Du point de vue des consommateurs : le choix du canal est bien perçu, mais leurs demandes fondamentales portent d’abord sur l’efficacité et l’accès à la compétence. C’est donc l’efficacité globale du dispositif qui est plébiscitée au-delà du choix du point d’entrée.

"In The Social Psychology of Organizing, Karl Weick exposed the theory of enactment, stating that organizations were fundamentally an abstraction of the reality, essentially brought to life through management’s narrative. In that sense, changing the way we work requires much more than technology and the empowerment of knowledge workers. Taking a broader perspective, and looking at organizations, not only as a production and profit-making machines, but as center of a part of human activities mainly taking place in cities, sheds a different light on the role and nature of what we call social businesses."

  • Drawing a parallel between the evolution of the city and the one of the workplace is of course tempting. The industrial era has rationalized space, productivity has got rid of shapeless shops and offices to implement neat open spaces, large passageways and functional lines of production. I might push the analogy even further: a majority of companies still operate in a Modernist-like manner: managers are the workplace equivalent of continuous commuters (the dark side of mobility), and knowledge workers populate impersonal open spaces or tentacular alignments of cubicles
  • Starting in the middle of the seventies, the post-modernist movement rejected the utilitarian view of post-war urbanists, aiming at integrating new constructions into the context of the city, and at reconciling the main human activities within the same space

"Pendant que les entreprises réfléchissent sérieusement aux moyens de maximiser les avantages des médias sociaux, on doit aborder la question : Qui, dans l’entreprise doit être responsable des médias sociaux? Qui doit prendre les décisions concernant les technologies, les effectifs, ou encore les politiques concernant les médias sociaux et les interactions dans les médias sociaux? Qui dirige le spectacle?"

  • Alors que les organisations gèrent actuellement les médias sociaux à partir des départements des ventes, du marketing ou des services de gestion de marque, le centre d’appel dispose de l’expérience, de la technologie et des métriques pour gérer avec succès et même tirer profit des médias sociaux.
  • La stratégie doit intégrer les buts et objectifs divergents des organisations internes. Elle a aussi besoin de tenir compte de la flexibilité de l’organisation et de sa réactivité face au changement.

"I actually believe there are qualities or behaviors that are distinctly different from business-as-usual and that can help businesses extract value from social media behaviors and technology. To me, they are what define a social business (and, yes, I do mean a business aligned with social media-based behaviors not necessarily a more socially responsible company. This latter definition is important just not my particular focus for now.)

We are a social business. That means we practice what we preach to our clients. There are 5 key behaviors of a social business that we focus on. I would love to hear what others think: "

"Si elle encadre trop ses collaborateurs qui s'expriment sur leur métier, la marque risque de transformer une prise de parole en communication institutionnelle. Un équilibre est à trouver.

  • Ce qu'il me semble nécessaire, c'est donner la ligne aux collaborateurs, mais ne rien imposer. Il faut qu'il s'agisse de leur démarche, de leur initiative.
  • de notre côté, nous avons ainsi préféré identifier les personnes qui s'exprimaient déjà. Nous les avons ensuite contactées pour les rencontrer, dans le but de les aider à poursuivre leur démarche dans une optique de qualité. Du coup, nous avons créé un espace en ligne privé, avec un community manager, sur lequel ils peuvent échanger entre eux et avec nous. Ils sont aussi invités à certains événements, et mis en valeur en interne.

"I’m often concerned by companies who try and re-invent themselves by focusing on or piloting an new initiative with Gen Y / Millennials. These are the digital natives, the logic goes… the ones who have created a connected, always-on world. What better place to pilot our shiny new social engagement strategy?"

  • Their loyalty is extremely difficult to attain and on average their disposable incomes are relatively low, compared to other segments of the market.

"It's rare a singular metric like turnover or a customer survey score is by itself a good measure of an organization's performance. Most of the more meaningful measures on dashboards of executives today are indices, made up of three to five submeasures. I review the nine most useful and creative performance measures I have seen in government and business organizations over the last few years."

  • Communication Effectiveness -- An important metric for organizations is one that measures how well they communicate to employees, suppliers, shareholders and others
  • Customer Relationships -- Customer surveys are rarely effective in measuring the level of relationship an organization has with its clients or customers.

"Imaginez qu’une partie de votre salaire dépende de la satisfaction de vos clients. Si vos clients utilisent massivement votre site Web pour acheter vos produits et services, votre préoccupation sera alors de détecter les dysfonctionnements qu’ils rencontrent, et de les corriger le plus vite possible. Au-delà de cette amélioration continue de l’expérience client, vous souhaiterez aussi dialoguer avec vos clients et innover avec eux pour mieux répondre à leurs attentes. C’est la mission confiée à la LoveTeam de Voyages-SNCF.com que j’ai eu l’occasion de rencontrer."

"Relationships drive business. Within the chaotic crush of interaction data coming off the Internet, smart mobile devices, Social Media, and Communities, is pure customer relationship gold. Three CRI (Customer Relationship Intelligence) metrics distill the gold—Relationship Value, the “effect” in relationship cause-and-effect; Interactions, the “cause;” and Variable Interaction Cost."

"New McKinsey research shows that a payday could be arriving faster than expected. A new class of company is emerging—one that uses collaborative Web 2.0 technologies intensively to connect the internal efforts of employees and to extend the organization’s reach to customers, partners, and suppliers. We call this new kind of company the networked enterprise. Results from our analysis of proprietary survey data show that the Web 2.0 use of these companies is significantly improving their reported performance. In fact, our data show that fully networked enterprises are not only more likely to be market leaders or to be gaining market share but also use management practices that lead to margins higher than those of companies using the Web in more limited ways"

"
Les études abondent sur les réseaux sociaux, leur utilisation pour favoriser le "buzz", la marque, l'esprit d'équipe, y compris dans le voyage d'affaires. Mais les entreprises, en fait, restent sceptiques si l'on en croit l'étude publiée par Regus. Même si, à l’échelle mondiale, deux entreprises sur cinq affirment gagner de nouveaux clients grâce aux réseaux sociaux. "

  • Seulement 32% des personnes françaises interrogées (par rapport à la moyenne mondiale de 44%) déclarent avoir été impressionnées par les contenus audio/vidéo présents sur le profil d’une entreprise. En outre, la France abrite la plus grande proportion de sceptiques vis-à-vis des réseaux sociaux (47% contre 34% au niveau mondial). Les français sont également moins nombreux que la moyenne internationale (61% contre 66%) à utiliser les réseaux sociaux à des fins personnelles.
  • Bien qu’un noyau dur de sceptiques, notamment en France, continue de penser que ce canal n’est pas destiné à devenir un outil majeur de développement de la clientèle des entreprises, de nombreuses sociétés dans le monde y consacrent de véritables budgets pour partir à la conquête de prospects et entretenir les relations avec leurs clients.

"Yet never before have companies had such powerful technologies for interacting directly with customers, collecting and mining information about them, and tailoring their offerings accordingly. And never before have customers expected to interact so deeply with companies, and each other, to shape the products and services they use. To be sure, most companies use customer relationship management and other technologies to get a handle on customers, but no amount of technology can really improve the situation as long as companies are set up to market products rather than cultivate customers. To compete in this aggressively interactive environment, companies must shift their focus from driving transactions to maximizing customer lifetime value. "

"The essay's review of financial results in a range of industries demonstrated how many companies depend for much of their profits on customers shooting themselves in the foot. That is, they make their best money when people fail to make choices that will serve them well. When a company games the system in this way, McGovern and Moon warned, it constitutes an open invitation for blank-sheet-of-paper newcomers to right wrongs and change the game. "Businesses that prey on customers are perpetually vulnerable to their pent-up hostility," they wrote. "Sometimes all it takes to drive mass defection is the appearance of a customer-friendly competitor.""

  • "So we asked, 'What would this industry be like if we did things the right way?'" he continues. "What would a club look like if members designed it? What would the membership offer look like if the customer wrote it? What would the hours of operation be if customers set them? What if we let customers dictate how we did things? That's why we did away with contracts. A contract makes you fat and lazy. We have to win over every one of our customers every month. It forces us to keep getting better."

"The fact remains however, that there was a CRM bubble and it burst. For many years CRM was a dirty word. I worked with a number of customers 5-8 years ago who refused to use the term "CRM" and instead referred to it as "Loyalty", "Customer Management" etc. It has only been in the last couple of years that the term seems to have bounced back and removed it's negative connotations. CRM is now seen as a positive initiative, crucial to supporting customer retention and growth strategies and Social CRM is a natural extension to the topic, embracing the customer's new control of the conversation."

  • Nothing like enough attention was given to the people / change aspects of customer-centric transformation. I have personally seen call centre agents with a shiny new CRM system, hang up on customer's as they answer the call in order to try and get their AHT down! Incentives drive behaviour more than any technology.
  • I've seen lots of product demonstrations where vendors pitch an offering to listen to customer feedback, connect to the twitter fire hose etc. Few articulate the reality of how that insight can be used to improve products, processes and the customer experience as that involves far more than just technology.

Over the next few weeks I'll be posting a series of articles that deeply explore a strategy for using the power of Web 2.0 ideas to move businesses into the 21st century. These strategies will drive forward any organization to not only survive present economic circumstances but drive growth and innovation while transforming safely to what increasingly appears to be a generational change in the business landscape. In other words, what you've been doing in the past will often no longer apply in the future. The assumptions that we've learned in a previous generation of IT and business education and occupations are frequently mattering less and less to how we accomplish our work and live our lives.
