Good CX Principle #1: Get it Right

In my time as a CX professional, I’ve developed what I call the Five Principles of CX.  I’ll go through them over the course of five articles starting here with the first one:  Get It Right (GIR).  (I posted an introduction to the series here.)  Although not universally the case, and it’s not a good [...]

An introduction to the Principles of Good CX

I wouldn’t be a self-serving, self-promoting consultant if I didn’t have a few frameworks to show you, so at the risk of shaming myself and losing my membership card, here’s another one.  Over the course of five articles, I’ll get into each of them, but here I’ll lay out what I term the Principles 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 [...]
