Context, Approach & Methodology
In 2020, Aldar launched a group-wide customer strategy initiative focused on customer centricity & customer experience.
In addition to retail and academies, Aldar's breadth expands outside development to encompass Hospitality & Leisure. Aldar hospitality and leisure properties extend across hotels, golf courses, beach clubs, marinas and f&b.

We conducted property-specific analysis in order to understand the experience of customers at individual Aldar properties. This analysis combined several elements, including mystery shopping, hybrid touchpoint analysis (analogue and digital), reviewing customer feedback and conducting more than x business interviews with both management and frontline staff.
The intent of these investigations was to first enable us to provide a series of easy to implement solutions with immediate impact. Following this, we utilised these insights and engaged with each property to envisage the future experience of their guests.

customer strategy which will be cascaded, aligned and customized for each portfolio.
