Knowing your customer is vital for any business endeavor. Successful businesses, however, understand what their customers want and are making them part of the innovation process.
American economist and MIT professor Eric Von Hippel is best known for his work in developing the concept of user innovation – that customers, rather than the producers, are responsible for a large amount of innovation. He conducted a study on the relationship between superstar customers and company innovation. “By studying more than 1,193 successful innovations, Hippel discovered that 60 percent of these innovations came from customers.”

How We Measure Customer Satisfaction
NAVEX Global uses two customer satisfaction surveys. The first is a Net Promoter Score (NPS) to gauge overall customer satisfaction . The second is a customer satisfaction survey conducted after each major support engagement/project (such as initial implementation, upgrade or expansion) and after each Customer Support case or inquiry. We use the results from each survey to identify satisfaction trends and develop strategies for continuous improvement.
Proud of Our Scores
Our Quarterly NPS Score is +42
Our Overall CSAT Score is 95
These satisfaction measures are further supported by a formal Customer Success Management (CSM) program. Customers in this program are assigned a customer success manager whose focus is to maximize the value and satisfaction of our products and services by partnering with our customers to achieve their desired outcomes.
