3. What is customer-centricity?

4. Customer - the end user of a good or service
Centric - having something at the centre, a focus
So customer-centricity in sport means focusing on the needs of the end user and delivering experiences that meet/exceed their needs

5. A government priority…
“Sport England’s new investment strategy seeks to put the customer first”
Tracey Crouch MP, Minister for Sport Tourism & Heritage

6. Jeff Bezos, founder & CEO of Amazon
A business necessity…
“If there’s one reason we have done better than of our peers… it is because we have focused like a laser on customer experience”
Jeff Bezos, founder & CEO of Amazon

7. Sport can’t risk becoming irrelevant…
“You either innovate or you become irrelevant.” Muhtar Kent, CEO Coca Cola

Within this group, inactive people are a higher priority than people already playing sport
