    Customer Experience Programme

    Putting the customer at the heart of a business that had become complacent at No.1.

    Customers acknowledged the positive shift in relationship management and service levels.

    Secured order

    They secured the largest outsourcing deal in their industry's history.

    Customer experience

    CX sat at the heart of all business decisions, owned personally by every employee.

    The company

    A leading international provider of offshore contract drilling services, operating 71 mobile offshore drilling units including the world's largest fleet of high-specification rigs.

    The problem

    The company had grown fast through acquisition and was now the largest in its field. With that came arrogance and an attitude of 'working to the letter of the contract'. Customer relationships were suffering, along with the results.

    The requirement

    What the client needed.

    The SVP of marketing identified that culture had to change across the organisation to put customers at the heart of the business — a shift in attitude from a workforce that had become complacent in its market position.

    01

    Change of mindset

    Make the organisation consciously aware of how it treated customers, and choose to change it.

    02

    Customer centricity

    Put the customer at the heart of the business and genuinely listen.

    03

    Eliminate complacency

    Include customers in the process to show they are not taken for granted.

    The challenge

    With many global acquisitions and a multitude of cultures, the attitude of 'we are No.1, you have no choice' had to flip to 'we are No.1 because we deliver a fantastic customer experience'.

    The solution

    What we actually did.

    We invited key customers to participate in the event, giving live feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of the services, attitudes and behaviours of the people working on their account.
    The Customer Focus Programme built a new culture where customer experience was paramount and high levels of engagement, personal responsibility and ownership became the norm.

    "I am excited that I now not only have a better understanding of what it is I have to do to get great results from my team, but my team is also starting to understand what is expected of them, the support available to them, and the fact that they will learn how they can directly affect the team's overall performance."
