The document appears to be a presentation from Jennie Vickers of Zeopard Think at the ALGIM Conference in November 2013. The presentation covers several topics related to customer experience, technology trends, and how different business functions like IT, HR, and legal/compliance can shift their focus to better serve internal customers and act as strategic advisors. Specific points discussed include the challenges of service delivery teams, the importance of thought leadership, focusing on customer experience and the experience economy, and helping internal customers with vision and strategic advice rather than just administration.

Better Public Services Advisory
Group Report November 2011
“Capitalising on new technology and
ways of engaging such as social media

17. THIS IS WHAT CIO’S ARE THINKING ABOUT
!
!
Pressure on CIOs!
Chris Murphy of Information Week says:!
!
“Make IT measurably more relevant
to your customers”
!
“We're living through a historic shift that
makes technology more important -- in fact,
indispensable -- to building close customer
ties. IT leaders can seize the moment by
ruthlessly focusing 2013's goals on the
customer who buys their products.”

18. FOCUS ON THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
•
•
Thought leaders are individuals or
organisations that are recognised by
peers, customers and industry
experts as someone who deeply
understand the business they are in,
the needs of their customers, and the
broader marketplace in which they
operate !
•
Zeopard.com
The term was first coined in 1994, by
Joel Kurtzman, editor-in-chief of the
magazine, Strategy+Business !
Thought leaders have a distinctively
original idea, a unique point of view
or an insight
@jennievickers
19. “Thought leadership centres on
earning trust and credibility.
Thought leaders get noticed by
offering something different—
information, insights, and ideas,
for instance.
! Thought leadership positions you
and your company as an industry
authority and resource and trusted
advisor by establishing your
reputation as a generous
contributor to your industry.”

perceive their interactions
with your company”

@jennievickers
55. CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE DEFINITION
From the Beyond Philosophy Group adapted for internal customers
“An internal customer experience is an
interaction between a department and an
internal customer as perceived through
that internal customer’s conscious and
subconscious mind. It is a blend of the
department’s rational performance, the
senses stimulated and the emotions
evoked and intuitively measured against
internal customer expectations across all
moments of contact.”

60. THE EXPERIENCE ECONOMY - THIS IS NOT A NEW FAD
“Economists have typically lumped
experiences in with services, but
experiences are a distinct economic
offering, as different from services as
services are from goods. Today we can
identify and describe this fourth economic
offering because consumers
unquestionably desire experiences, and
more and more businesses are
responding by explicitly designing and
promoting them.”!

61. FALLING SHORT ON DELIVERING THE
EXPERIENCES CUSTOMERS WANT
!
• Slow adoption rate of customer expected
capabilities !
• Significant opportunities for improving
experiences!
• Across research, buying, and post purchase
processes!
• Inflexible technology, siloed organisations and
systems, insufficient investment, and inability to
measure performance hinder success!

62. THE EXPERIENCE ECONOMY
“As services, like goods before them,
increasingly become commoditized—think of
long-distance telephone services sold solely
on price—experiences have emerged as the
next step in what we call the progression of
economic value. From now on, leadingedge companies—whether they sell to
consumers or businesses—will find that the
next competitive battleground lies in staging
experiences.”
