The Ecosystem Of Shared Value
In the world of B2B, leaders frequently talk about value, especially when it comes to delivering and creating customer value. But, a new conversation is emerging ━ how can we work with our customers to define, create and measure value together?
The economic lifeblood of shared value realization is shared accountability. Put simply, there’s no escaping shared responsibility for value, because the vendor-customer relationship is a shared and interdependent engagement. In order for your company to successfully align on the expectations of value creation and delivery for customers, you need a clear strategy and enterprise-grade technology that can operationalize shared accountability and collaboration.
While value, collaboration and shared accountability aren’t new concepts, the way we’re talking about them now, and their place at the centre of the relationship between a vendor and customer, is revolutionary. Customer Success is at an inflection point and the subscription economy is going to give way to a performance economy where the nature of how companies collaborate on value will change in a really profound way.
