Customer Centricity Fundamentals

The importance of understanding your customer as a means of increasing revenue

This course provides TM Forum’s perspective on how to achieve Customer Centricity by leveraging the best practices developed by TM Forum members and the Framework suite of standards.

This course introduces a range of tools and approaches available to organizations who wish to adopt a more customer centric focus. It shows how to gain a clearer knowledge of your customers’ behavior and intentions using data analytics; how to respond to customers through the channels that they choose (omnichannel), and how to use metrics to measure what matters to the customer as a yardstick of operational performance.

The course presents practical advice on how to plan and execute programs that will help acquire and retain customers and increase profitability through improved customer satisfaction.
