For a CX leader, don’t hire from within your industry

There’s a meme going around LinkedIn these days about a job posting that requires of the ideal candidate experience that’s physically impossible:  a history of use of a platform or programming language that’s longer than the language’s existence in the first place.  There’s even been a mocking job posting put up with a cascade of [...]

Dynamism over products or services

There are articles all over the place and books overloading shelves in the business section of the stores having to do with strategies and branding.  One of the theories that I find appealing is that, when it comes to strategies and visions and missions, it’s important to leave your products or services out of these [...]

“Treat your employees right” is more than just ‘feel-good’ rhetoric

The world of CX is covered in platitudes and clichés. I don’t say that to denigrate it as a field of study and practice (quite the opposite), but rather just to acknowledge it so as to better combat empty words in favor of making actual impacts. Sometimes clichés are clichés because they’re right. One of those [...]

Don’t excuse it…solve it!

Customers don’t care about why you can’t get it done; they just want you to get it done.  Before you say that that sounds unfair, I’m not suggesting they want you to defy the laws of physics and make the impossible possible (well…usually they don’t).  Let me give you a small—yes, trivial—example: The other day [...]
