CX Journey™ Musings: Culture - The Soul of the Organization

CX Journey

Image courtesy of Pixabay In business, your culture is the soul of the organization. The soul is the essence or the moral force of a person, their emotional or intellectual energy.

For years, the cable industry has unfortunately been one of those industries that finds itself in the bottom echelon of customer service rankings. While I believe the industry is making an effort to do better, and some companies are definitely becoming more customer-focused, it’s this kind of story that makes me wonder if they are going about it the right way.
