The pandemic has rapidly accelerated the “consumerization” of health care—patients behaving more like consumers in their healthcare interactions. In a white paper on key industry insights, Deloitte says the consumer has arrived in the healthcare industry sooner than expected. It’s having major impacts throughout the industry, including on the contact centers that interact with those consumers on behalf of healthcare organizations and providers.

Customer experience is not a fad or a trend or a buzzy phrase. And yet organizations often treat it like it is. They hang a banner, then ignore it. They announce it as an annual theme, then forget it by February. Or they simply talk about it without actually putting any rigor or discipline or even real goals to it. That’s why the foundational work of defining CX at your organization, through a CX Mission Statement and CX Success Statement , are so critically important to accomplishing real

Email. People hate it. Yet people prefer it because it’s what they know. After a quick Google search of email as an internal communications tool, I found lots of articles about how it should be ditched as a way to engage employees. But upon further reading those same articles, I found the biggest reason they give to get rid of them was because they sucked.

3G sunsetting is a significant step in the evolution of wireless communication. Old 3G technology is set to become obsolete as manufacturers and MNOs shift towards 4G LTE and 5G. As this 3G upgrade to 4G shift occurs, service providers will shut off the cellular infrastructure required to operate communication devices on the 3G networks. With an estimated 64 million IoT devices in the U.S running on 2G or 3G networks (over 50% of the total devices), much is at stake.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

Reputation marketing is a way of thinking about your reputation in the same way you think about your marketing – the more positive your brand’s reputation, the more growth you can deliver. Companies like Apple get a huge value from their reputation as a user-friendly company that provides great customer experience. Of course, the idea of reputation marketing is nothing new.

Customer experience, also commonly referred to as CX, simply refers to the experience that a customer has with a business. It’s basically the impression that a customer has about your company based on their interaction history with you, and reflects how the customer perceives your company. But let’s be clear: there is a difference between customer experience and customer service.

One of my favorite Process Engineering tools is the Five Whys. The basic principle is to consider a problem or imperfection, ask why it’s the way it is, and then ask why that explanation is so. We keep digging (as the title suggests, five times, but your mileage may vary) until we’ve uncovered the true root cause of an issue. The idea here is to work toward better understanding what’s behind a problem rather than simply fixing the facial, obvious symptoms.
