Customer Experience strategies have become increasingly important over the past few years as the CE landscape is dramatically changing. Companies are facing more complex customer issues as a result of customers' increasingly higher expectations.
The gap is widening between those who adapt, and those who do not. The time is now for companies to take action in conceiving and executing transformative Customer Experience strategies.
"It seems, despite the growing interest in customer-centric strategies, the vast majority of companies are demonstrating little sense of urgency," says Lior Arussy, President of Strativity Group, Inc. "Resources, budget and sponsorship commitments do not match corporate declarations – triggering a severe economic impact."
The Customer Experience in Action Study explores organizations' commitment to Customer Experience and Strategy Execution - and the impact it delivers. The 2014 study includes Strativity's new Maturity Assessment Model, developed as a guide for organizations to evaluate their progress on the CE journey across 5 core CE components: Customers, Employees, Strategy, Measurement and Organization.
