18 Zone 2 Hygienics : there are characteristics that are important to the customer but which, once a certain threshold has been achieved, have little relatively effect on satisfaction. As in the previous case, the organization can consider reducing investment in these characteristics. However, the performance of these characteristics should not fall below acceptable level, as that may have a negative impact on overall satisfaction. Zone 3 Motivators : these are characteristics that are important to customers, and which have a significant effect on overall satisfaction. These are obvious areas of focus. The level of performance in these areas should be maintained, or further improved if this is found to be cost-effective. Zone 1 Infrastructure : these are characteristics for which the customer expresses a low level of importance and which, if they were improved, would have little impact on overall satisfaction. Therefore, the organization can consider eliminating or reducing investment in them, to reduce costs or provide greater value to the customer. Zone 4 Hidden opportunities : these are characteristics that are currently not recognized or deemed important by the customer, but which if improved will significantly increase overall satisfaction. Such characteristics offer the highest potential for improvement of satisfaction.
