Why Your Customer & Design Chiefs (CCO-CDO) Need to Collaborate to Make a Success of Your CX
Eglobalis
April 18, 2023
Peel back the layers of many successful customer experience strategies and you’ll find that accountability sits with the Chief Customer Officer (when they have one). It also sits with the Chief Design Officer (or equivalent). Collaboration between the two leads can have a significant impact on the quality of your CX. The partnership is critical to creating a seamless and consistent customer and employee experience across all touchpoints.

Customer experience culture is a set of values, beliefs, and behaviours that a company adopts in order to create a customer-centric culture. This ‘’culture’’ ensures that every employee in the organisation is committed to delivering the best possible experience for the customer. Based on the company ‘’mindset’’ and approach.

How to improve your supply chain experience management to benefit customer experiences
MyCostumer
April 30, 2021
A supply chain is the backbone of a company’s daily existence. And it has a major impact on customer experience, even though it often goes unnoticed by the end consumer.

Customers of different industries place a different value on the elements that generate their overall experience. A pharmacy customer may prioritise product availability, safety and compliance, whereas high-end retail shoppers prioritise quality and choice. Others may prioritise convenience, design, simplicity and usability. We all have different needs and perceive similar details in different ways.

In the Digital and Customer Experience World, there are two lives: Before and After COVID-19. Is your company ready?
Eglobalis
April 11, 2021
Is your company customer- and employee-centered, or is this simply a buzzword used by your leadership? If the latter is the case, the efforts may originate with those at the top, but make no mistake, the real work happens throughout all the verticals and teams within your organization. This includes those that design the experiences for your services, products, and engagement. Your company operates using four words: ‘’Adoption, Retention, Renewals, Insights’’ – repeat!

This article will help you as a leader realign your organization to reignite its ability to deliver a much better experience for your customers, partners, and employees. It will also define what it means to be a truly customer-centric company.

Change These 6 Fundamentals to Improve Your Digital Transformation and Supply Chain Experience
Eglobalis
April 05, 2021
Customers of different industries place a different value on the elements that generate their overall experience. A pharmacy customer may prioritize product availability, safety and compliance, whereas high-end retail shoppers prioritize quality and choice. (Data source Gartner) Others may prioritize convenience, design, simplicity, and usability. We all have different needs and perceive similar details in different ways. But we all depend on order management, logistics, and supply chains to get products and services to us. Even your virtual world also needs some kind of supply chain to be accessible to you and your organization. The truth is, depending on the sector, you maybe have a very diverse portfolio of customers. Supply chain maturity models can often illustrate that organizations are already trying to improve customer experience in the supply chain through continuous adaptation. The path forward is fraught with so many uncertainties that, to ensure business continuity, we are all doing a better job of planning and executing transformation to a digital space.

The European Customer Experience Organization is now live! The Time to Evolve Together arrived!
Eglobalis
March 02, 2021
In 2018, I realized that Europe needed its own association for customer experience. However, the domain ECXA was already taken, so I decided to call it the European Customer Experience Organization (ECXO). Early on I understood that Europe requires deep, culture oriented, progressive solutions, not static status quo pillars, since customer experience is an evolving subject. Then I invited two potential co-founders: one accepted (Adrian Swinscoe), while the other said no due to her time (Silvana Buljan) , but she said that it was a great idea and that she would be deeply involved. Therefore, we created this organization to address huge customer experience gaps developing an European customer experience model instead of utilizing ‘’other continents’’, which do not address or solve the major challenges of all countries and cultures.

A pragmatist's guide to digital customer experience experimentation
MyCostumer
February 23, 2021
Experimentation is essential to test whether new digital CX innovations will be worth the effort. But how can you make sure that the experiment itself is valuable and not too costly or time-consuming?

Customer experience can be challenging unless you have the right resonation with customers, users and employees. Experience design and business transformation initiatives can require time, effort and finances. Those initiatives also require the right change management and a communication campaign to obtain acceptance, adoption and the right tuning with stakeholders. When this is achieved, your customer engagement, retention, adoption and renewals will grow – along with your bottom line.

Five fundamentals to re design AI transformative experience as competitive advantage
Eglobalis
February 21, 2021
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, we already had a great deal of technology available to us. Algorithms are progressing by leaps and bounds in front of our eyes, driven by the transformative needs of employee and customer experience, as well as data analytics, and other factors. Recent research by IDC found that during the pandemic, companies that were “early AI adopters had an improvement of almost 25 percent in customer experience ‘quality,’ accelerated rates of innovation, higher competitiveness, higher margins, and better employee experience with the roll out of AI solutions.” Good news, right?

Customer Experience and Adoption: The Impact of Technology Change Requests

January 27, 2021
Recently, I interviewed the Chief Customer Officer and Head of Customer Experience and Global Sales Excellence at Ericsson for my vlogcast, which will be available in the coming weeks. During our conversation, we talked about over-complicated enterprise software and, in general, about complex system designs vs. simplification and intuitive design for humans. These often help or harm the generation of adoption or usage. During our discussion, we reflected on companies that are utilizing or acquiring enterprise software and how many companies don’t take user needs into consideration when acquiring certain systems.

Adopting AI Responsibly to Prevent Risks to Your Brand and Customer Experience
Eglobalis
December 25, 2020
Organizations and leaders are currently able to pick and choose from hundreds of Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms and enterprise solutions on the market, each solving a different gap in customer experience, services, and efficiency. All these solutions have their own approaches, pros and cons, and algorithms, aiming to enhance and simplify Customer Experience (CX) and generate better performance in the customer’s eyes. The pandemic triggered all types of organizations to turn to AI, which has already been solving issues and improving experiences pre-pandemic. With such a variety of options for solving the “customer gap,” we need to step back for a second and analyse how each solution will answer our customer needs – as well as what kinds of risks it will present for our brand and its reputation if we do not use it responsibly and carefully.

IoT Is Transforming Operations, Customer and Employee Experiences, and Generating Growth
Eglobalis
December 21, 2020
Partly in reaction to this pandemic, global manufacturers and tech developers such as Qualcomm, Samsung, VW, and others are transforming. Whether it relates to their customers or their factories, production lines, logistics, shop floors, or stores, these transformations were, in many ways, envisioned several years ago by Fjord (now part of Accenture). Around 2014/2015, Fjord Chief Client Officer Mark Curtis and his team developed what they called the era of living services, or the digitalization of everything. I spoke about that few years ago here while discussing IoT and the very profitable British model of servitization. Today, I am connecting it with Customer, Employee, and Operations Experience as services, based on changes that occurred during these last several months.

Don’t Talk about Great CX Culture if You Don’t Know MED
Eglobalis
November 22, 2020
Recently, my insulin pump – which injects insulin in 24/7 mode – had a problem, after approximately 10 years of working perfectly. I believe the problem was related to the COVID-19 prevention procedures we adopted in our house and the constant cleaning of my pump with alcohol and disinfectant. The coil that injects the insulin pressed against the wall of the pump and opened it, as you can see in this photo. It could become a nightmare for any diabetic to have an issue like that with a pump, since your life depends on insulin.

How six principles of organisational adaptiveness can provide CX resilience
My Customer
November 13, 2020
When the pandemic started, many companies struggled. Almost overnight their employees and customer interactions were rendered obsolete, and everyone scrambled to adapt.

In subsequent months, we've seen some companies change quickly and effectively, while others have taken more time to develop new, streamlined experiences for their workflows and customer interactions. In supermarkets and grocery stores especially, we see a wide discrepancy between businesses - some have designed experiences that are safe, simplified, efficient and even convenient to consumers in unexpected ways, while others appear more reluctant or slow to respond to the urgent needs of their employees and customers.

Experience Perception – The Journey Design to Resonate with Customer and Employees… or Not

Customer journey mapping is one of the tools and ‘’pillars’’ any organization utilizes to truly understand customer and employee journeys.

Professional Services (PS), consulting, customer sucess and any ‘’business to business’’ interaction – in the enterprise technology industry and other sectors – should be strictly aligned with your experience management approach as part of your company culture. You’ve probably already heard 1000 times that we in customer experience (CX) call these moments of truth “touch points” with our customers. During those interactions, you have the opportunity to demonstrate not just the best of your organization’s professionalism, but also your own. At the end of the day, experiences are created between individuals independently of being digital or physical.

While NPS remains popular as "the one number you need to grow", customer and employee criticism are your real leverage tool for growth.

The 6 CX Fundamentals of Organizational and Human Adaptiveness
Eglobalis
July 30, 2020
When the pandemic started, many companies struggled, from procurement, retails to high technology among several sectors. Almost overnight their employees and customer interactions were made obsolete, and everyone scrambled to adapt — both tech and non-tech sectors.

In the months since then, we have seen some companies change very quickly and effectively, while others are taking more time to develop new, streamlined experiences for their workflows and customer interactions. In supermarkets and grocery stores especially, we see a wide discrepancy between businesses, some of which have designed experiences that are safe, simplified, efficient, and even convenient to consumers in some unexpected ways. Others appear more reluctant or slow to respond to the urgent needs of their employees and customers.

What is it that enables some businesses to respond more effectively than others? They are more prepared, with leadership and employees accustomed to continuous change.

Like humans after a certain age, at some point organizations need to work to maintain fast-paced adaptiveness. That is not always easy, especially in our hyper-fast, always-evolving society. The key is to build a human-centered culture that focuses on relationships with customers and employees. In return, those relationships increase in effectiveness and value, and they grow.

Here are a few principles that help innovative companies train continuously, so when the world turns upside down, they still land on their feet. Hoping we have no next time after this pandemic.

Retail Digital Experience Can Still Satisfy Europeans during COVID-19
Eglobalis
July 14, 2020
Of all industries, Consumer-Packaged Goods (CPG) stands at an opportune turning point in mid-2020. Some retailers are hurting; others have never seen anything close to this level of growth. In the following article, we will analyze the business environment using recent surveys of European consumers and deliver practical advice to help retailers respond to current issues to gain trust, satisfy emerging demands, and grow.

As my usual readers know, Customer Experience (CX) runs deeper than service. But in this case, there is a hidden but critical element to the perception of a retail brand: the products that are delivered to your home, or organization. Procurement and supply chain (engine) are a major barometer for overall brand health and experience perception. Would you feel more protected if you knew how suppliers have adapted to the pandemic? Your customers would too.

6 Ways to Boost Customer Experience Design Adoption & Growth
Eglobalis
June 28, 2020
Today, customers and employees are searching beyond the buzz word of “Customer Experience”, and “Employee Experience”; they are checking your governance complexities, procurement policies, purpose experience, what your company and you as a leader stand for. They watch your culture and leadership, your ability to change, adapt and evolve — from the largest structural change down to the smallest detail.

But given the massive number of factors here, what is the largest weight on the scale? Personal interactions with your organization. Your value is measured by engagement, the ability to develop meaningful relationships that helps you grow in value for all user groups — from customers and employees to partners and shareholders. If you can do that “small” thing then Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), growth and new customers will come as a positive reward for a job well done.

LinkedIn
November 28, 2017
So be prepared! It happens to all brands -- some more than others, yes. But all brands have the capacity to encounter a crisis of quality or experience at some point.. even yours.

The real test is how to be prepared with your talent to deal properly with those situations in customer interaction positions. This applies digitally and physically, and it applies in B2B and B2C.

This also speaks to the idea that focusing in customer experience, design, product, services and people quality are the key imperatives for organizations that want to be successful and consistent from the moment they start. Why?

A Potential New “Q” Metric for Your Customer Experience and Design
LinkedIn
November 20, 2017
If we had a metric like that, and decision-makers were judged on it, it would strengthen the culture you need for quality services, products and the overall CX. Less people would cut corners on cost and other factors. Because their incentives would be connected to product quality, they would prioritize quality and design over cost measures. Quality is one of the main pillars of customer experience, loyalty, satisfaction, retention and revenue generation

2021 Predictions for Customer Experience

Date : September 29, 2020

in 2021, digital transformation will be already adopted by millions of organizations of all sizes and sectors. Some will be leveraging on AI, IoT, or both experiences to create easy to embrace experiences. Those lagging will play the game of catching up with a considerable disadvantage. Companies that will thrive during and after pandemic will be those that are simplifying their human experiences and taking the responsibility right now over customers and employees' safety ‘’ digitally and physically speaking’’, as I write. Well-designed products and services, well simplified and thoughtful customer and employee experience will continue to generate adoption, retention, and revenue growth. For those that opt not to simplify will fade behind the curve. Bear in mind that digital experiences are already leading the wave to make our lives easier and simpler. All your organizations run on adoption and great experiences.

6 Ways to Boost Customer Experience Design Adoption & Growth
Thinkers360
August 15, 2020
6 Ways to Design Simplify CX, Technology, Boost Adoption, and Generate Growth! Today, customers and employees are searching beyond the buzz word of “Customer Experience”, and “Employee Experience”; they are checking your governance complexities, procurement policies, purpose experience, what your company and you as a leader stand for. They watch your culture and leadership, your ability to change, adapt and evolve — from the largest structural change down to the smallest detail. But given the massive number of factors here, what is the largest weight on the scale? Personal interactions with your organization. Your value is measured by engagement, the ability to develop meaningful relationships that helps you grow in value for all user groups — from customers and employees to partners and shareholders. If you can do that “small” thing then Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), growth and new customers will come as a positive reward for a job well done. It is unfortunately not easy. Products and services are becoming increasingly similar, increasingly difficult to distinguish based on overall value, technology, onboarding programs, trainings. Even innovative design has a shorter shelf-life as more companies gain adaptive capabilities — some with their own business model (personality) but others that are copycats, decidedly turned into followers rather than leaders. As we move forward into an increasingly competitive technology market, how can we continue to differentiate? The Big Idea: Remove complexities to develop meaningful relationships with customers In a recent article, McKinsey wrote about what I have evangelized for many years, simplification and simplicity of customer, employee and partner’s experience as a competitive differentiator. (Read my article on simplification and simplicity here.) Their rightful opinion is based on a very clear trend over the last ten or twenty years, as companies like Amazon, Google, Spotify, Ikea, Microsoft, Aldi and Lidl have outperformed competitors — by an average of 679% across major indexes such as S&P (+207%), Dow What makes companies and individuals want to acquire and adopt these solutions over competitors’? Simple and simplified experiences! Simplified experiences create engagement while clarifying value. This is true internally as much as externally.
