Customer Experience (CX) isn’t about customer satisfaction or cool user interfaces; it is the means to redefine your place in the market. Orion’s strategic approach delivers the level of transformation needed to turn CX into your engine for sustainable growth.
Look to Orion to help you:
Develop a CX vision and value proposition that are both ambitious and actionable/realistic
Rethink the processes, technology and culture needed to turn customers into zealous advocates
Mobilize people across your organization to focus on customer value instead of departmental goals
Build CX management skills and lessen your dependence on external consultants
Envisioning and deploying a breakthrough customer experience is one of the most impactful and exciting projects you and your team can execute. Orion’s training curriculum can help you on that journey. However, if your organization needs to move immediately on a mission-critical initiative, Orion offers targeted consulting services to assure your success. Options include:
Strategic CX Assessment & Planning
How does your customer experience stack up against the competition? What improvements are needed to improve your organization’s strategic position? Our team can help you make sure CX improvement efforts have maximum benefit for your organization, as well as your customers.
CX Vision Session
Innovation is a team sport and actionable ideas do not come easily. Orion can help your leadership team develop your new CX concept and its supporting value proposition.
Customer Journey Mapping
Journey maps provide the critical outside-in view of your organization that should inform improvement efforts for every value-creating business process. Let our experts facilitate the sessions and jumpstart your journey toward a customer-centric organization.
Operational CX Assessment
Customer experiences are delivered by business processes. Linking the customer journey with internal operations will reveal opportunities throughout your organization for process changes that will have positive impact on your customers.
CX Solution Development
Getting your breakthrough CX vision off the drawing board and into reality is a multi-disciplined effort. Orion can help you map To-Be processes, document new business requirements and procure the technologies needed to enable amazing customer experiences.
Nurturing a Customer-Centric Culture
Customer experience is often confused with customer service. Likewise, some leaders assume that creating an environment that is friendly to customers is the end game. There is so much more to establishing a sustainable customer-centric culture. Orion can help you rethink the operational, measurement and employee lifecycle practices that create the foundation for long-term customer relationships.
Building Your Customer-Centric Competency
Orion’s Customer Experience Seminars are designed to help your business leaders envision innovations that not only delight the customer but have a dramatic impact on your value proposition, strategic goals and revenue. We are proud to partner with premier universities in offering seminars designed specifically for professionals interested expanding their knowledge of Customer Experience.
