Research has shown that consumers increasingly want organisations to demonstrate a purpose beyond profit. And so after decades during which the dominant dogma focused on maximising shareholder value and short-termism, many CEO’s are now trying to achieve more. This article explores the business case for purpose and discusses a methodology for CEO’s to activate purpose within their organisation and profit in the process.

Client centricity is a stated core value of all enterprises. However, few organizations scientifically build processes to measure it, use it to direct incentives and rewards, and most importantly, leverage it to shape company culture. I call those that do so “maniacally client focused organizations.” The impact of such an approach is sustainable growth driven by stronger client penetration, a state in which client recommendations expand the frontline’s reach and effectiveness, and a more engaged and stable workforce.

The Experience Audit is one of my favorite tools because it is a completely new perspective in which to look at your customer strategy. In doing the work, you will be better prepared to have more meaningful conversations with your internal teams. The Experience Audit ask you to look at existing customer behaviors and outcomes because behavior is the end all, be all, of profitable business. Behavior is the proof that your product is meeting needs, that you are delivering meaningful value. Behavior doesn’t lie. It doesn’t say things are worse than they are and it doesn’t sugar coat because they really like the person, but hate the product. You can have significant financial impact if you focus your efforts on shifting more of your customers toward the attributes and behaviors of your most profitable and naturally satisfied customers. You can create sustainable, measurable results while at the same time reducing the sometimes overwhelming effort involved.
