An IMD masterclass unveiling data-driven strategies in customer-centric leadership

Join our insightful masterclass to understand the dual paths towards true customer centricity: solving customer problems using their data, versus empowering them with their own data. Often, organizations misuse this valuable resource for self-serving purposes rather than genuinely addressing customer needs. This session aims to unravel these contrasting approaches, providing practical strategies for using customer data ethically and effectively to enhance customer experiences and build trust.

The masterclass, led by Professor Goutam Challagalla, Professor of Strategy and Marketing, will guide you through the nuances of customer-centric approaches in our evolving digital landscape. Professor Challagalla is also Program Director of Advanced Management Program, Integrating Sustainability into Strategy and Strategy Governance for Boards.

Here’s a snapshot of the insights this masterclass will unpack:

  • Defining customer centricity: Grasp a clear and straightforward definition of customer centricity in the modern business context.
  • Data-driven pathways: Learn about the two data-centric approaches to customer centricity and how they can transform your business.
  • Building trust with data: Understand how putting data in customers’ hands can foster trust and enhance customer relationships.
