Punk XL

December 06, 2021
Punk CX was published in 2019 and explored what a punk rock version of customer experience (CX) could look and feel like.
However, a lot has happened since then.
It's no longer sufficient to talk about customer experience in isolation. To succeed, we need to think about experience holistically, especially if we are to deliver the outcomes and reach the heights we aspire to.
Punk XL, where XL stands for eXperience Leadership, seeks to explore what it means and takes to deliver a great experience at different levels (individual, team, organisation, customer and beyond).
Like its predecessor Punk CX, it will be composed of a series of short and punchy "tracks" organised loosely around a series of concentric rings or dimensions that will explore what eXperience Leadership means at that particular level.
To add richness, perspective and depth, it features contributions from a number of different experience "artists" from around the world.
PUNK XL features contributions from: Ari Weinzweig, Serena Riley, Lara Khouri, Richard Hammond, Amy Scott, Sandra Thompson, Paul Greenberg, Joyce Kim, Karen Jaw-Madson, Martin Lucas, Sandra De Zoysa and Clare Muscutt.

Punk CX

May 16, 2019
Emerging in the 1970s, prog rock was often accused of being overly technical, too elaborate, not focused on its audience and often in danger of disappearing up it’s own a***.
One could argue that the service and experience space is starting to exhibit some of the same characteristics namely it’s in danger of becoming overly technical, benchmarked, frameworked, measured, codified, certified, specialized and functionalized etc etc.
Punk exploded out of the back of prog rock with it’s democratic, DIY, back to basics approach that inspired both a cultural and musical movement and change in mindset. It dared to be different and was OK with the fact that not everyone liked that.
So, is it time to consider what a punk rock version of CX would look and feel like, particularly given that many reports suggest that around 70% of customer experience projects fail to deliver on their promises? If so, what would that look and feel like?
Adrian Swinscoe in his new book ‘Punk CX', tackles some of these questions and shares some key insights and practical takeaways that will allow you harness your inner punk and transform your own customer experience.
