Customer Management involves five different but related steps. These steps involve
the establishment and maintenance of high quality customer information, the
actioning of the customer information to create knowledge for the organisation
and acting upon this knowledge to create value for both the organisation and
its customers.
To fully realise the value, it is important for employees and senior executives
to have an understanding of how value is created. Employees need to understand
why it is important to ensure that that Customer Information is of high standard.
They also need to understand how Customer Information is turned into Customer
Knowledge, to have an understanding of what Customer Knowledge is and how this
is actioned to create value for the organisation.
If employees and executives do not have a full understanding of the importance
of high quality Customer Information and its use in creating Customer Knowledge
to drive value, they are less likely to take ownership of the CM strategy, and
so, the customer asset will not be utilised to its full potential.
