What’s Involved

The Mini MBA in Customer Centricity will provide you with a framework to create truly customer first business and to reap the commercial benefits of doing so. You’ll learn how to create a culture centred around employee empowerment and how to increase customer lifetime value. From great customer service, to personalised customer experience and the internal operating models and policies required, you’ll learn how to drive customer-led change within a business.

Module 1: Employee Engagement

To be customer centric, you must cultivate employee satisfaction. Learn how to create an organisational culture that helps to deliver customer centricity.

Module 2: Social Responsibility

Social Responsibility is more than a tick box exercise. Learn how to develop social responsibility policies that prove to customers and employees you’re taking it seriously.

Module 3: Diversity and Inclusion (inside and outside the organisation)

The more diverse and inclusive your business is the more successful you’ll be.

Assess gaps in diversity and inclusion within an organisation and plan for the future.

Module 4: Customer Experience

Learn how to create a customer experience across all your channels and touchpoints that meets the needs of your most important customer segments.

Module 5: Technology as an Enabler

We tend to overestimate the impact of technology in the short-term and underestimate its impact in the longer-term. Learn how to prioritise and evaluate the technology solutions required to deliver the experience your customers expect.

Module 6: Channel Strategy

To be successful, you need more than an omni-channel strategy. You need to develop a customer-centric channel strategy based on the needs of your most important customer cohorts.

Module 7: Customer Centric Marketing

Understand the opportunity to drive up profitability by moving from push to pull communications and how personalisation can help turn customers into fans.

Module 8: Organisation Structure and Skills

To ensure customers receive consistent experiences through all channels and touchpoints, you need to define an operating model to deliver customer centricity within the organisation.

Module 9: Measuring what Really Matters

Cut through the noise about big data to get to actionable insight. Learn how to successfully measure and evaluate customer centricity in an organisation.

Module 9: Activation Plan

The key to the successful implementation of customer centricity across your organisation is to have a prioritised plan of action. Our activation plan will provide you with the framework and steps for achieving true customer centricity.

Individually, the Mini MBA is about ensuring the future success of your business and becoming a leader in your field. Collectively, it is about changing the culture, outlook and mindset of your business to put the customer at the heart of all that you do.

Last year I decided to take the Level 3 certification in Digital Marketing with OXCOM and I am so happy with my choice. They provided so much guidance, even if I was a distant learner the support I received was priceless. I landed on my first ever Marketing job and now I am looking forward to completing the next step. They teach you from scratch and after taking the course you have the confidence to apply the knowledge. Outstanding service provided!

I'm currently studying the CIM Certificate in Professional Digital Marketing at the Oxford College of Marketing. I have been very impressed with everything regarding my virtual learning: Jane Adrain has been the tutor on my modules so far and she teaches the topic in every engaging and knowledgeable way - having breakouts so topics can be discussed with other students in the class, giving the online learning a social element; tutors are also very helpful and available for questions during assignments; college staff are very responsive and friendly; lots of learning resources are provided and reading materials suggested. Very positive about my learning so far and I highly recommend the Oxford College of Marketing.

I picked Oxford College of Marketing from the list of CIM study centres I originally contacted because they were able to answer all my questions and provide guidance from first point of contact. All their communications were prompt and genuinely helpful instead of a sales pitch.In my studies with them, I have found the same level of support, especially during the Covid pandemic. The tutors and the support team truly go above and beyond. No question is left unanswered and there are a number of extra resources you are given access to, as well as curated reading lists and online articles which are relevant to the module you are studying.I recommend the college and most importantly the staff.
