Forrester (Nasdaq: FORR) today announces its Customer Obsession Awards for Customer-Obsessed Enterprise. This award will recognise organisations who put customers at the centre of everything they do to accelerate business growth, retain customers, and enable greater employee engagement.

The qualifications for Forrester’s Customer Obsession Awards are as follows:

Customer-Obsessed Enterprise. This award will celebrate an organisation that demonstrates sharp and sustained customer focus in leaders’ decisions and behaviours, in its strategy at the corporate and functional levels, and in its day-to-day operations throughout the enterprise. The winning organisation also encourages deep collaboration across the business to ensure that customer obsession aligns to the organisation’s brand promise. As a result, quantifiably better outcomes are achieved for customers, employees, and the business. Nominations for the Customer-Obsessed Enterprise Award are open to all B2C organisations headquartered in North America, Asia Pacific, and EMEA that have at least 1,000 employees.
