Introduction:

Becoming customer-centric is one of the most important aims of any organization. Customer centricity refers to a company's orientation to its customers' needs and behaviors rather than internal drivers, such as the quest for short-term profit. Customers have high expectations and demand quality customer service from companies they choose to do business with. Providing excellent customer service gives an organization a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

The customer-centricity workshop is the critical factor that keeps customers coming back. Successful organizations understand the importance of developing a customer-centric mindset and deliberately restructure their customer service model to increase customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.

Today, customers have an increasing range of choices: choice of supplier, choice of channel, choice of products and services. Their loyalty is determined by the quality of the experience they receive.
