the organizational culture (product-centric to
customer-centric). After that, the execution of CRM
programs is brought about, in which the focus on carrying out
differentiated strategies for each customer segments by
specific program. Finally, the measurement of CRM program
effectiveness is carried out through the development of a set
metrics that are supposed to measure the attainment of
customer objectives, to measure the contribution of each
individual program to the overall CRM initiative, to measure
the contribution of each program in the enhancement of an
organization’s data capability, and to measure the potential
for improving the future programs.
This model illustrates a simple representation of the
requirements for CRM processes toward achieving the
objectives of CRM initiatives. However, it can be improved
and enhanced in order to provide a better illustration and
representation of the requirements of CRM processes.
The first thing that can be suggested here is the adding of
one requirement at the beginning in the model, which is
creating a customer-oriented culture in the organization. This
customer-oriented culture will aim to initiate the need and
create the awareness of CRM and the importance of the main
principles and values of CRM. Another thing that could
enhance the model is reflecting the feedback after measuring
the program effectiveness step to the development of
customer strategy. Based on this feedback it could be a need
to change the target market, the customer segmentation, or
the differentiation strategies.
