Customer Process Management (CPM) allows companies to increase competitiveness by optimizing marketing processes, reducing waste, and building competitive advantages through a customer-centric approach. CPM projects define roles, responsibilities, and processes to align the organization and improve the customer experience. By addressing internal challenges like unclear responsibilities and long time-to-market, as well as external pressures from competition and changing markets, CPM helps firms stay competitive through optimized commercial processes focused on marketing and surrounding functions.
