INTRODUCTION

In today's business landscape, customers are faced with an overwhelming array of choices. The advent of the internet, price-comparison websites, peer-review platforms, and social media has transformed the global business environment. Traditional differentiators have been eroded by the ease of online comparison and information access. Even once-dominant brands have been reduced to commodity status by comparison site algorithms. Simultaneously, social media and peer reviews have elevated the customer experience as the primary determinant of strategic differentiation. To succeed under these new rules, organisations must become genuinely customer-focused.

A customer-centric organisation is built on the belief that long-term success hinges on an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction throughout the entire organisation. The Customer Experience (Cx) has now become the primary, if not the sole, source of sustainable competitive advantage. This Al-Majd Pathways Centre training course delves into what it takes to cultivate the culture, processes, and relationships that lead to long-term growth and financial sustainability.
