If we use a broader definition of service and ask the question “How does this benefit the customer?” we can move towards a customer-centric approach across channels: such as •  Product Development •  Marketing •  Mobile •  Digital (chat, emerging social)

20 Source: Forrester: January 2014 “Mobile Moments Transform Customer Experience”

“Customers have regained control because of the proliferation of information at their fingertips, and they benchmark their experience across their lifestyle. It’s no longer enough to be good within your industry; you need to be great across industries. Compounding that is the influence of social media.”
