WUDRome 2016 - Activating Customer Experience Inside Organizations - Dave King

NOIS3 about Design

ABSTRACT

Hundreds of hours and thousands of euros have been spent designing a new, world class customer experience – and now it is ready for launch. But like many external-facing initiatives the new CX will fail shortly after launch. Why? Because in the rush to launch the inside of the organization will be overlooked, and the ugly truth is this: the inside of organizations is where great CX designs go to die. A new CX brings with it organizational change, and organizations are made up of people who nearly always resist change. This means activating a new CX on the outside of the organization requires helping those people on the inside understand the What, Why, and How of it – beyond the customer touch points. In this talk Dave King will share the program frameworks, tools and techniques that XPLANE uses to align the inside of organizations to new strategies, and in particular to a new CX.
