AGCS receives top award for True Customer Centricity@AGCS program

Customer experience management is a growing field globally and uses a variety of tools to gather customer feedback, understand their expectations, and improve the overall client and intermediary experience through different touch points. AGCS built a program that integrates customer feedback with business data, linking the Qualtrics Customer Experience Management Platform with its existing customer relationship management system. As a result customer feedback is now available in real-time, enabling AGCS employees across all countries and functions to understand their customers’ insights and respond even more quickly  to their needs.

“We had almost 400 submissions this year, but what set the 2017 winners apart was their ability to confront and solve very different problems and create amazing experiences that differentiate them in the marketplace,” said Ryan Smith, CEO of Qualtrics. “Our Grand Prize winner AGCS has a compelling story. By implementing a scalable, democratized customer insights program, AGCS became a true disruptor in the commercial insurance space. They brought together a cross-functional global community to build a customer experience program that is driving meaningful actions at both local and global levels.”

“It is an honor to be recognized by this prestigious customer experience management award amongst an impressive set of competitors,” says Andreas Berger, AGCS Chief Regions and Markets Officer at AGCS and responsible for the Global Broker business of Allianz Group. “We will continue to evolve this program to gain even greater traction with our clients, brokers and employees.”

The Qualtrics Insights to Action Awards seek to inspire people to think about insights as the key ingredients for driving experiences that lead to innovation and growth, customer experience excellence, and employee engagement. The award recognizes and celebrates those who make a meaningful impact in these areas. Last year’s winner was Procter & Gamble.
