Definitions Concept-to-market (C2M): from trigger event to service launch (or withdrawal) This process starts when one of several trigger events takes place, e.g., –We need to innovate a new service based on customer demand –We need to remake a product to meet customer requirements –We have a need to rationalise and create new self service products C2M process spans the time from this trigger event, through product development, marketing, launch, and ready for sale/support. In addition, during the concept, specify and plan phases, C2M will determine how the product flows into in-life support and billing. Lead-to-cash: From initial contact to the sale to the collection of the payment This refers to the experience a customer has buying an existing our product or service. It begins with a sales dialogue between the customer and BT which establishes that one of our products or services meets their needs. It ends when this need is fulfilled, the service is available to use and BT has been paid. Trouble-to-resolve: From problem identification to resolution This begins when a customer has told us they are not happy with either our product or service, or when BT has proactively spotted a problem. It ends when that problem has been resolved and the customer is satisfied. Our aim is for more of our time spent on Lead-to-cash (making money) and significantly less time needed on Trouble-to-resolve (fixing things).
