THE CHALLENGE
Tokio Marine recognised the need to enhance customer-centricity to thrive in a rapidly changing world. The company sought to shift its mindset from an inside-out to an outside-in approach, ensuring every decision delivers clear customer value.
To achieve this, The Strategy Group delivered a Design Thinking training program to foster a culture of customer obsession.
THE APPROACH
Context Analysis: Establishing the Need for Customer-Centricity.
The engagement began with a thorough context analysis highlighting the need for increased customer focus within Tokio Marine. This included outlining the stakes for adapting to an unpredictable world and identifying the gaps in current practices that hinder a customer-first approach.

The session:
- Introduced the principles of customer-centricity and outside-in thinking through Design Thinking methodologies.
- Engaged participants through real-world examples, collaborative exercises, and role-playing activities.
- Concluded with a debrief to reflect on learning outcomes and discuss how to apply Design Thinking in their roles.
These materials were reviewed and tailored to ensure relevance and resonance with the participants.
