Losing Customers Trust is the Worst Penalty VW Will Face

Beyond Philosophy

I find it beyond belief how large organizations can cheat and lie to their Customers. Maybe it’s because I’m becoming old or maybe it’s just because it is happening more. Skechers lied to us that if we wore their (weird-looking) Shape-up shoes that we could get in shape without setting foot in a gym. BP lied about their compliance with safety regulations for their off shore Oil operations; a lie that resulted in 70 million gallons of oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico.

Getting CX Buy In

InMoment XI

Unfortunately, this memo reflects the situation for a lot of us in the Customer Experience space. Company leaders know CX is important conceptually, but they don’t always allocate the resources to make our programs a true success.

Big Data’s Big Problem

Beyond Philosophy

Big data is the gigantic data sets whose analysis could reveal predictions of human behavior. Big data is big news. If we can predict what people will do in a given situation, we can create situations that get them to do what we want. But Big data is only showing us a part of the big picture. The biggest part, WHY people do what they do is, as of yet, missing from Big Data.

Is Leadership REALLY On Board with Your CX Agenda?

Beyond Philosophy

In my experience everyone loves the idea of improving the Customer Experience (CX) until you ask him or her to change their business as usual. It is especially true when you are talking about your senior team. Unfortunately, you must have the engagement of the senior leadership to be successful. While the good news is 20% of executive teams fully support the CX agenda, that also means 80% don’t.
