About	
 ?the	
 ?Temkin	
 ?Group	
 ?

     Temkin Group is a customer experience consulting firm. We have one simple
     goal for our clients: increase customer loyalty by becoming more customer-
     centric.

     Any company can improve portions of its customer experience. But it takes
     more than a few superficial changes to create lasting differentiation.

     The Temkin Group combines customer experience thought leadership with a
     deep understanding of the dynamics of large organizations to help senior
     executives accelerate their customer experience efforts. We work with our
     clients to build four critical competencies: Purposeful Leadership, Engaged
     Employees, Compelling Brand Values, and Customer-connectedness.

     Temkin Group was founded based on four core beliefs:

     1.? Customer experience drives loyalty. Our research and work with
          clients has shown that interactions with customers influences how much
          business they¡¯ll do with you in the future and how often they recommend
          you to friends and colleagues.
     2.? Improvement requires systemic change. Companies can improve
          customer interactions in isolated areas, but they can¡¯t develop
          competitive advantage until customer experience is embedded in their
          operating fabric.
     3.? It¡¯s a journey, not a project. Building the capabilities to consistently
          delight customers doesn¡¯t happen overnight. Companies need to plan
          for a multi-year corporate change initiative.
     4.? We can help you make a difference. Transformation efforts aren¡¯t easy,
          but leading your company to be more customer-centric is worth the
          effort. Temkin Group can help organizations accelerate their results and
          avoid many of the bumps along the way.

  • 18. About ?the ?Temkin ?Group ? Temkin Group is a customer experience consulting firm. We have one simple goal for our clients: increase customer loyalty by becoming more customer- centric. Any company can improve portions of its customer experience. But it takes more than a few superficial changes to create lasting differentiation. The Temkin Group combines customer experience thought leadership with a deep understanding of the dynamics of large organizations to help senior executives accelerate their customer experience efforts. We work with our clients to build four critical competencies: Purposeful Leadership, Engaged Employees, Compelling Brand Values, and Customer-connectedness. Temkin Group was founded based on four core beliefs: 1.? Customer experience drives loyalty. Our research and work with clients has shown that interactions with customers influences how much business they¡¯ll do with you in the future and how often they recommend you to friends and colleagues. 2.? Improvement requires systemic change. Companies can improve customer interactions in isolated areas, but they can¡¯t develop competitive advantage until customer experience is embedded in their operating fabric. 3.? It¡¯s a journey, not a project. Building the capabilities to consistently delight customers doesn¡¯t happen overnight. Companies need to plan for a multi-year corporate change initiative. 4.? We can help you make a difference. Transformation efforts aren¡¯t easy, but leading your company to be more customer-centric is worth the effort. Temkin Group can help organizations accelerate their results and avoid many of the bumps along the way. Source: ?Temkin ?Group ?May ?2010 ?Customer ?Experience ?Survey ? Page ? 18 ?
