Before You Begin

Answer based on what is currently and consistently demonstrated.

This assessment is designed to help you evaluate the extent to which customer centricity is reflected in your organization’s leadership, culture, strategy, systems, people practices, and decision-making.

Rate each statement based on what is currently and consistently demonstrated in your organization, rather than what the organization intends to do or what occurs only in isolated situations. Where possible, base your response on observable practices, evidence, and organizational results.

  • 14 dimensions, 3 statements each, 42 statements in total.
  • Rate every statement from 0 to 4, or select N/A.
  • N/A responses are excluded from the calculation rather than scored as zero.
