A customer-obsessed mindset is no longer the preserve of B2C companies

 

The concept of customer experience (CX) has shifted from customer-centricity to customer obsession, making it much more comprehensive and immersive than ever before. Where customer-centricity sets its sights on understanding and meeting customer needs, customer obsession goes a step beyond by integrating every aspect of a business—leveraging technology, design, and human insights to deliver superior, holistic user experience. This transformation is on fertile ground within the B2B sector, where businesses are recognising the need to provide the same high-quality experiences that B2C customers usually expect, says Avinash Maharaj, Head of Digital Product Strategy at fintech specialist e4.

In the face of mounting global environmental challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, and increasing focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) awareness, sustainable trade practices and supply chains have the potential to radically transform Africa’s economic future.
