The new competitive advantage in today's economy is customer performance. When work transitions from employee to customer, several benefits emerge—if customers can perform. Companies can reduce their costs of providing services and supporting goods. Customers can complete transactions faster with greater control, and experience greater value. The net result is a value chain that increases usage, satisfaction, trust, loyalty, and ultimately lifetime customer value.
In the past, customers expected companies to do a lot of the work for them. Now, companies are expecting customers to do more of the work themselves—and when the experience is designed effectively customers respond enthusiastically.
To ensure customers perform, companies must design experiences with that goal in mind. The principles of vision, access, incentive, and expertise form the foundation for what we call coproduction experiences.

enormously valuable! – Ken Blanchard, co-author Raving Fans |
