The need for a common language

For example, the more mundane the language, such as [Cleanliness] and [Tidiness] in store operations, the more managers need to give precise instructions and staff need to understand them accurately.

In other words, it is necessary to [redefine] the word [Customer] as the common language of the organization. If this kind of [advance preparation and design] is insufficient, no matter how good the system is, it will fall into a spiral of inoperability > non-use > wasted cost.

Definition of "Customer"

Depending on the organization, there are various stages of [Customers]. (Reference: Lifecycle Stage)

• People or Organizations who have a contract or financial transaction.

• There are no money transactions, but you exchange information frequently and there is a possibility that money transactions will occur in the future.

• People or Organizations in a business meeting

• People or Organizations that you're attempting to make contact for business negotiations.

• People or Organizations who have made an inquiry. ...etc

In some cases, it is interpreted more broadly to include the following;

• Employees and their families

• Shareholders and executives

• Business partners (those to whom we pay money).... etc.

Regardless of the range of [Customers] you define, they are your organization's [Key Assets], and you must think about the handling of [Personal Data] in common.
