C3Centricity

JUNE 8, 2020

After all, the hospitality industry should be highly customer centric, as it relies on satisfying its guests. However, it can learn a lot from consumer packaged goods (FMCG/CPG), as I shared with industry experts at a Faculty Day of one of the leading hospitality schools in Switzerland. Having spent most of my career in consumer goods, I was invited to share what the hospitality industry could learn from the industry. The title of this week’s post might surprise you.

This hospitality outlet certainly has a lot to learn about customer centricity! Whether you are in hospitality or not, putting the customer first makes good business sense. The hospitality industry is both simple and complex for customer centricity improvements. This is certainly true for the hospitality industry, but less so for many other businesses in my opinion. Hospitality needs to be hospitable, but so does any customer facing business.
