19. Maintain oversight when no one is directly responsible
In many organizations, there are no
individuals with “CX” in their title.
• Invite fellow CX champions to join a
committee that meets on an ongoing
basis to prioritize projects and
communicate to the company
• This team will share accountability,
reporting to each other and the
whole company on a consistent basis

20. Get buy-in from executives when budgets are limited
Once you’ve achieved an easy CX win from your roadmap,
share the results with your executive team.
Executives rarely watch and listen to everyday customers doing everyday activities, so
you can make a big impact by including quotes or video clips in your presentation.
