Eight Building Blocks of Customer Service

Gartner has identified 8 crucial buildings blocks that work together as a framework for customer service improvements.

On the business alignment side, Gartner says that vision, strategy, and metrics are critical to get right.

Regarding customer alignment, Gartner pointed to customer experience (CX), organizational collaboration, and processes as key.

And finally for IT alignment, information and insight as well as technology were highlighted as especially important areas of focus.

Gartner found that siloed, departmental approaches to managing customer relationships have led to fragmented investments in customer service technology, contributing to the customer management industrial complex.

The CX Imperative

Gartner mentions customer experience as a higher priority area for focus, stating that:

Assess existing service process capabilities, and consider the requirements needed to shift to more empathetic and coordinated methods of engagement
Develop customer journey maps that include customer relationship stages. Then, update internal CX-related process design to meet customers at each stage of the relationship.
Measure service initiatives using CX metrics that are tied to enterprise-level goals, commonly focused on value, loyalty and retention.
Audit your service technology, data, analytics and AI capabilities. Do your existing capabilities support legacy or future objectives? Can you sense where a customer is in relation to you? Do employees or systems have what they need to take effective action?
Collaborate cross-functionally with teams throughout the enterprise on CX and analytics initiatives. Gather, share and discuss insights to improve your collective understanding of the customer journey.
