Customer Experience through a looking glass
Ten points for who said ‘a 20-year business cycle in which the most successful enterprises will reinvent themselves to systematically understand and serve increasingly powerful customers.’ (answers on a postcard please)
It has to be a Research company who may just want to add to the current customer experience hype with a review of what worked in the past. However we are living in a new age of customer liberation. Nothing like this has been witnessed before (well perhaps the Gutenberg press has a parallel impact – see here) and so drawing comparisons with a couple of decades ago really misses the point? Or am I completely wrong and we should just focus on Lean, Six Sigma and industrialization to help us understand customers better?
My take from a recent Process Excellence conference (PEX) on how we all need to shift our perspective Outside-In.
When you say End to End what do YOU mean?
Nearly four years ago this question roused us all from our slumbers and continues to trouble many. Over on Linked In you can browse the various (and sometimes quite alarming) perspectives from noted to thinkers and leaders. Feel free to chip in and we will shortly summarise the key points for all to share 🙂

Business Process Management (BPM) meets Customer Experience Management (CEM)
Access the latest version of this groundbreaking approach.
It is Needs not wants, stupid.
The critical step in improving customer understanding is to stop asking questions. Instead listen to the customer’s opinions, perceptions and expectations.
Enter a Disney theme park and you will be greeted by courteous cast members (road sweeps, characters, security personnel) who politely listen, understand and act on the questions customers ask.
Using a structured approach cast members guide a dialogue to elicit customers needs, identify actions and develop a plan in less than 30 seconds. In fact, they can articulate customers needs even when customers themselves don’t know them.
So let’s get scientific about the customer experience and scrap those dumb surveys that are subjective, self-selecting and geared to understanding wants.

Start trusting people (it works)
Rather than trying to prevent all errors, we should assume, as is almost always the case, that our people’s intentions are good and that they want to solve problems.From Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull

What you measure is what you get. Stop measuring dumb stuff!
What you measure is what you get. If you’ve got call centres you will measure and reward on calls. If on the other hand you have Customer Experience centres, yes you will now be measuring and rewarding based on the customer experience.
Which do you think is the most effective? Which approach will deliver better results for the customer?

Who should you read? Who should you follow?
Let’s be honest. There are only so many hours in the day and in between eating, loving, sleeping, and pooping there aint much left over. However we all know the stresses and strains of keeping current, being of the moment. Keeping up to-date. It’s a full time task. So when asked at the PEX conference in Sydney in August “how do you do it?”I decided to start a list of the folks I follow.
Usually when grabbing a moment to myself I delve into the minds of others for inspiration.
Here is my list of the dirty dozen (for sharing) from the last 4 weeks:
