How to really do strategic management in CX

Customer Bliss

I wanted to talk for a quick second about strategic management in customer experience. If you’ve been listening to my podcast — and the next episode is No. 20, which is crazy — you’ve probably heard many CCOs and other senior customer experience leaders talk about strategic management.

ijgolding

Although I have spent a long time working with clients in the customer experience sector, I think it’s vital that we continually challenge the way we listen to and understand our customers.
