Are You and Your Firm 'Customer Centric'?


Professor Ranjay Gulati
Jaime and Josefina Chua Tiampo Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School

 

'Customer centric': Do we really know what that much-employed term means? Most companies claim they are constantly thinking about customers yet consistently fail to deliver solutions to their customers’ most pressing needs. Professor Ranjay Gulati will reveal how “resilient” companies—those that prosper in good times and bad—are driving growth and increasing profitability by immersing themselves in the lives of their customers. By reorienting their organizations to be proactive, flexible, and truly customer-centric, these pioneering companies have spiked growth even in the face of some of the most daunting economic conditions in modern history.


Professor Ranjay Gulati
is the Jaime and Josefina Chua Tiampo Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School and an expert on strategic and organizational issues in firms. The Economist Intelligence Unit and The Financial Times recently listed him among the top business school scholars whose work is most relevant to management practice. He was ranked as one of the top ten most cited scholars in Economics and Business over a decade by ISI-Incite. His book Reorganize for Resilience: Putting Customers at the Center of Your Organization (January, 2010; Harvard Business Press) has been called "money in the bank for businesses big and small” by Jeff Immelt, the CEO of General Electric.

Professor Gulati’s book, Reorganize for Resilience: Putting Customers at the Center of Your Organization, will be on sale at the event.
