What Makes a Successful Customer Experience Leader?

Experience Investigators by 360Connext

I’ve been so fortunate to work with some really great people. Many of these were clients who were charged with leading customer experience change within large companies. There are so many challenges in these positions. In most cases, it’s new philosophy, limited staff and authority, and typically a culture straining against the wave of change that is required with a successful customer experience strategy.

Lack of Common Sense: Continuing to Destroy Customer Experiences Around the World!

ijgolding

In April 2014, I wrote an article entitled, ‘Common Sense – The Not So Magic Customer Experience Ingredient’ – If you did not, or do not want to read it, I told two quite ridiculous tales of the lack of application of common sense. In truth, I could have written a 500,000 word white paper listing hundreds of similar examples that I have personally experienced in the past and continue to experience on a regular basis.

Will omnichannel someday die out because of Big Data?

Customer Bliss

After a few days and posts covering the United Airlines incident, I want to briefly turn attention to omnichannel. You probably know what omnichannel means, but a quick definition is always helpful. It refers to the various touch points by which a business/organization can reach a customer. The idea — and the ideal — is to get the offer in front of them at the time they’re most likely to be interested.

Yes, there are several other ways in which companies can listen to customers and learn how well they’re delivering on the experience, but surveys aren’t going anywhere.
