Introduction: From Reactive CX to Journey Orchestration Over the past decade, customer experience (CX) strategy has largely revolved around mapping observable behaviours. Journey mapping platforms track page clicks, chat interactions, product views—but these reflect actions, not intent. This leaves even the best- designed experiences reactive , disconnected, and slow to adapt.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the evolving roles of customer experience (CX) leadership , including (and especially) how critical integrating employee experience (EX) is to the five key shifts shaping the future of CX leadership. This is an important topic to address and build on because customer experience has often been viewed as a soft functional discipline, centered around surveys, journey maps, and service touchpoints.

AI orchestration is supposed to be the brain of your service stack—connecting bots, workflows, agents, and data streams into one intelligent system. But many enterprises are discovering that their orchestration platforms are operating with a critical blind spot: they don’t know what’s actually happening on the ground. Text entries, CRM tags, and keyword-based workflows offer structure—but not context.

One could say that I’ve been a bit schizophrenic about the idea of a Return On Investment for Customer Experience. I may be a bit more charitable to myself and say that I continue to evolve on “the ROI question.” One of the first things I ever did as a CX “thought leader” was a video for the CXPA imploring CX leaders to tie their endeavors and CX-based metrics directly to those of the overall enterprise.

Everyone wants to deploy AI. But here’s the dirty secret: most AI systems aren’t failing because the algorithms are weak. They’re failing because the data is. According to Gartner, up to 85% of AI projects fail due to poor data quality, not model design. AI can only be as smart as the information it’s fed. And in enterprise customer service, that data is often incomplete, mislabeled, or missing critical context.

In 2025, headlines are swirling about “$12,000 stimulus payments” — and while it’s not technically a fourth federal stimulus check, the rumors are based on real money you might be able to claim. Thanks to a combination of tax credits at the federal and state level, many low- to moderate-income families could receive up to $12,000 in refunds. But this isn’t some overnight deposit; it’s a series of stacked benefits—some automatic, some you must file to receive.
