What is a customer centric organization?

A post by a fellow blogger triggered this thought process in me - What is a customer centric organization?

I would believe that the following are some key identifiers of a customer centric organization -

• customer centricity is a strategic imperative rather than a group or department or annual or marketing initiative
• the decision making process in the organization places the impact of the decision on the customer as its focal point
• customer success is a key consideration across the rank & breadth of the organization
• a strong belief that customer success & customer service is what will eventually lead to organizational profits
• customer focus is a key element of the organization's culture
• customer loyalty is constantly & actively sought
