Organizational Customer Experience Journey
Natural Stage
No need for Chief Customer Officer and control over departments
Enlightened Stage
• Chief Customer Officer • Inputs into Operational Budgets
• Authority over other departments • Sets the customer measures and is

• Ops • Sets the cultural framework

• Equal authority to any of the • CE people introduced earlier on in the process
functional groups - two gate entries e.g. in the design phase and
• Decisions have to be signed by later on in the final testing phase
the CE member • Meet the board twice a month
• Veto rights • Appointments to talk to the CEO
Low End Transactional Stage
• Responsible for: • However:
• customer measures • Dispose of limited budget
• Prioritise initiatives • No authority to:

- 16. Our recommendations for each stage of organizational
development… (based on the research and observations)
• Naïve stage
• Need the support of an exec
• Best if the CE is within customer focused part of the
organization
• Start with a few pilot projects to achieve quick wins and
prove the concept
• Start sending around materials from other companies who
have successfully changed
• Transactional stage
• Best to position the CE as a cross-functional unit
• Highlight cross-functional issues
• CE head need to have authority, not just responsibility
• Enlightened stage
• More focus on cultural aspects

- 19. Our recommendations … (based on the research and observations)
• Work cross-function – Form a CE Council
• Understand stakeholders’ drivers/objectives
• Agree cross-functional initiatives to go into the budget
planning process
• Gain central budget resource to implement cross-
functional programs
• When senior people not in support - start with mini
pilot projects e.g.:
• decrease of calls; - explain to new customers
where to go etc.
• link NPS to growth
• 9 out of 10 will spend more money
• some things don't cost much money - e.g.
making employees happy

- 29. Our recommendations … (based on the research and observations)
• Organizational education required to sell the concept of
customer emotions as a business differentiator
• Case studies of other organizations
• Evidence and exposure to senior executives of emotional
experiences (based on research)
• Focus on evoking deliberate positive emotions e.g.:
• Senior people felt embarrassed by young reps treating them as stupid
– operator made reps to say “well I don’t know that myself, let’s find out
together”
• B2B customers on the other side needed reassurance; just someone to
check at the end on the call that they got what they need
