May I offer a modest suggestion about CX? Here it is: The purpose of Customer Experience as an endeavor (a department, a practice, a field of study, etc.) is to improve the alignment between what your company says it’s all about (call it mission/vision, corporate values/principles, or simply Brand Promise) and the experience your Customers [...]
I’ve written previously about how silly things like Net Promotor Score’s ‘Likelihood to Recommend’ question can seem. I think, generally, that comes more from a place of complacency than downright lunacy.

If you’re looking for a reason not to use NPS as your top-line CX metric, I’ve got one for you: Depending on your business and/or your business model, it’s just plain dumb. […]
Okay, so this is going to be controversial. Scandalous, even. But I’m going to come right out and say it: Please stop with the KPIs. Just quit it already. Whether you’re using NPS, C-SAT, CES…whatever it is, you’re only hurting your own CX efforts. And I’ll tell you why: Because you’re not getting anything out [...]
