CXMM®

Customer survey analysis and outsourcing services for customer-oriented business operations and CX strategies

The CXMM (Customer Experience Management Methodology) ® service is an outsourced customer survey analysis service to achieve customer-oriented business operations and CX strategies. This service covers all operations relating to customer survey analysis.


Overview

NRI has been researching customer loyalty indicators for many years and has come to the conclusion that there are issues and insufficiencies in the use of NPS® (Note 1) as a customer loyalty indicator by Japanese financial institutions (Note 2). Therefore, NRI and Professor Ichijo of Hitotsubashi University jointly developed CXMM® as a customer loyalty indicator for Japanese financial institutions.
The CXMM® Service provides overall customer survey analysis services using CXMM® to support financial institutions in their customer-oriented business operations and CX strategies.

CXMM® has been implemented by more than 20 financial institutions. In 2021, CXMM® was chosen by Rating and Investment Information, Inc. for their survey to evaluate how customer-oriented each mutual fund company is (Note 3).

Noise mitigation

  • By combining three indicators that mutually mitigate and offset the noise* that undermines the reliability of customer loyalty measurement results, we have developed and adopted a “CX indicator” that consistently produces stable results.

    *Noise refers to the “human mindset” that prevents the measurement of customer loyalty for reasons not directly related to customer loyalty. 

Strong correlation with business performance

  • This “CX indicator” has been proven to have a strong correlation with the earnings of domestic financial institutions, as demonstrated by the financial institutions that have adopted the CXMM®.

Identification of areas for improvement

  • We use the expectation disconfirmation model to understand the difference between evaluations and expectations for the various values that a company provides to its customers, and conduct correlation analysis with the CX indicator to quantitatively analyze issues that should be prioritized.

(Note 1) NPS® (Net Promoter Score: Net recommended persons ratio) is an index developed by Bain  & Company to measure customer loyalty. Respondents are asked to respond to the question, “How likely would you be to recommend X to a close friend or colleague?”, on an 11-point scale from 10 (very likely) to 0 (very unlikely), respondents who answer 10 or 9 are called “promoters,” those who answer 8 or 7 are called “neutrals,” and those who answer 6 or less are called “critics.” The value obtained by subtracting the ratio of critics from the ratio of promoters is called the NPS® (Net Promoter Score: the ratio of net promoters).
(Note 2) NPS® issues
1. High percentage of noise (approx. 80% of respondents)
Since approximately 80% of all respondents believe that “financial institutions are not something I would recommend to others,” the NPS® , which asks respondents to rate their likelihood of recommending a financial institution to others on an 11-point scale, would result in 80% noise.
2. Tendency not to correlate strongly with business performance
Due in part to the way the NPS® questions are asked and due to noise, they tend not to correlate strongly with performance indicators such as deposit balances, fee income, and gross profit.
3. Difficulty to identify areas for improvement
Since 80% of the responses are noise, there is little information for identifying areas for improvement.
