Shouldn’t we know better?

Let’s start today with a couple of anecdotal experiences: Anecdote 1:  It seems every time I pay in cash (who does that?), this happens:  The cashier, when returning my change lays the bills down in my palm, and then pours the coins over top of them.  This means that, to put the change away, I [...]

CX for SaaS

I’ve done some work with some folks in the software as a service (SaaS) space and have lots of colleagues and friends who are also working there.  Whenever I talk with them about Customer Experience, I always chuckle when the conversation turns to the Voice of the Customer. […]

For CX, Where is not as important as What and Why

Where a CX function is located within a company is a frequent discussion topic among CXers.  I’ve been thinking about this recently and, while obviously each company is unique and every situation different, it occurs to me that where a CX function resides isn’t nearly as important as is what it’s chartered to do.

Quantitative versus Qualitative

I just got off the phone with a colleague and we were having a conversation about data.  He brought up some good questions and points and so I figured I’d jot a few of them down here before they went right out of my head again. The gist of the discussion was the difference between [...]

It’s the little things

I’ve noticed that, when I write about CX or speak with other CX professionals, I often tend to append my anecdotes about my own experiences with something like, “Well, now, this wasn’t a huge deal, but…” or, “Of course, it’s not the end of the world, but…”  I see many other CX leaders do the [...]

Half-measures and full-measures

I used to work out at a gym that had a bothersome, but almost comedic tendency:  Whenever a piece of equipment broke down, someone would diligently and swiftly mark it with an “Out of Order” sign.  The particular machine would usually sit like that (broken, that is) for weeks on end.  Now, part of this [...]

Don’t confuse your system with reality

Improving our processes is hard work.  There’s a lot of research and thinking that goes into the exercise of getting better at what we do.  Add to that the complexities and politics of change management—especially if your organization is large and/or well-established—and it can be daunting for sure.  People spend careers refining their approach to [...]
