The document summarizes the key findings of a May 2010 customer experience survey conducted by Temkin Group. Over 400 respondents from various industries and company sizes participated in the survey. The results show that while companies are ambitious about improving customer experience, they recognize they have a long way to go. Many are taking steps like establishing customer experience roles and programs, but challenges remain around priorities and strategies. Common activities include voice of the customer programs, net promoter score measurement, and centralizing customer experience efforts.

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.
