The essence of the distribution challenge is to deliver the right<br />

customer experience for targeted customer groups across all channels<br />

Recenter distribution to the Internet<br />

■ New added value, not self-service<br />

■ Integrated customer experience<br />

■ Reset functionality in other channels<br />

Benefits<br />

■ Complementarity of cross-channel<br />

customer experience<br />

■ Well-designed processes<br />

■ Complementary functionality in all<br />

channels<br />

■ Few master the requirements for distinctive customer experience<br />

■ Process design and vigorous <strong>management</strong> are first steps<br />

■ Reducing variation* across sales experiences builds customer<br />

confidence, improves efficiency, reduces the cost of poor quality and<br />

improves sales effectiveness<br />
