In an Agile world, that demands delivering the new in the now — can businesses be agile to the speed of thought?

Customer Satisfaction [NPS] demands a new definition, with transparency, empathy & agility central to shared trust, safety & satisfaction.

Buyer satisfaction over a journey (of value exchange), can be observed as a continuous stream of signals observed over time, which at any given point in time — represents a fusion of multiple aspects of leadership culminating into “Agility” in the moment.

NPS as a continuous stream of “agility” indicators

Demand — Supply relationship among two interdependent beings (symbiotic individuals/teams/organizations) at any given point, can be broadly assessed by observing the level of shared trust, safety, transparency, value exchange, empathy & agility.

A business devises a survival strategy (of continuous value creation) & disruption strategy (of continuous reinvention) that is often revealed in how it sustains a relationship / journey of value exchange, demanding agility in the moment.

Here are 5 (timeless) buyer satisfaction signals, that may help a business sense unspoken needs & maximize value, at every moment of opportunity:

1. FOCUSED EFFORT

Did the (supply) team demonstrate commitment to consistently deliver value as predicted / planned? Did individuals demonstrate high situational awareness & attention to detail, to embrace the new & serve the need in the now? #Dependability

2. RESPONSIVENESS

Did the (supply) team demonstrate immediacy to respond to open questions / unresolved dependencies? Did individuals demonstrate high proactiveness & capability, to gain greater clarity of the new & simplicity in the now? #Competence

3. ADAPTIVENESS

Did the (supply) team demonstrate agility to change thought process when faced with new information? Did individuals demonstrate high willingness & flexibility, in (unlearning and) learning a new method to solve the problem in the now? #Ownership

4. TRANSPARENCY

Did the (supply) team demonstrate openness to share information on work progress, new opportunities / risks? Did individuals demonstrate high authenticity & comfort, in handling moments of truth, acknowledging unknown unknowns and reassuring safety in the now?
#Teamplay

5. EMPATHY

Did the (supply) team demonstrate equal consideration and listened to everyone’s fears / aspirations alike? Did individuals demonstrate high openness to diverse perspectives, see an opportunity to find the most optimal answer, in the now?
#Impact

Is this only applicable for the supply — side?

All of the above 5 aspects of an agile mind, are universal and applicable to both demand and supply teams, serving each other through continuous value exchange. The collective agility of both the buyer & supplier impacts the overall disruption quotient of the co-created outcome.
