Cosa diavolo è la customer experience?

NOTA AICEX: Quanto è coinvolto il cliente nel DNA della vostra azienda?

I recently came across an article/speech by the late David Foster Wallace; it starts with the following story.

There are these two young fish swimming along, and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?”

NPS… maneggiare con cautela

AICEX: L’NPS è un gran bel KPI, ma solo se si è consapevoli delle sue caratteristiche e dei suoi limiti.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Net Promoter Score (NPS). I love its simplicity and accessibility. I love the way that CEOs and front line teams can understand how it works without the need for a degree in statistical mathematics or data analytics. However, there is a big problem with NPS and it normally comes after any successful programme implementation. The ‘curse of the number’ is a good way of summing up the problem.

Too many companies are spending too much time focusing on the numbers (results) and not enough time on actually making improvements. We all know what it’s like when NPS results are about to be released. The business become tense whilst segment heads and product leads start to manage communications around the possible ‘number’.

In Peter Drucker’s The Daily Drucker, which contains 366 daily insights (excerpts from his books; see original text I’ll refer to from The Practice of Management in the image to the left), each one ending with an action item to put that day’s concept to use, he writes:

If we want to know what a business is, we have to start with its purpose. And the purpose must lie outside the business itself. In fact, it must lie in society, since a business enterprise is an organ of society. There is only one valid definition of business purpose: to create a customer.

The customer is a foundation of a business and keeps it in existence. The customer alone gives employment. And it is to supply the customer that society entrusts wealth-producing resources to the business enterprise. Continua a leggere “Peter Drucker: Quale è lo scopo del tuo Business ?”

Le attività per il ROI o un ROI per le attività ?

AICEX: oramai i tempi sono maturi per dire che l’attuale concetto di ROI è talvolta poco adeguato a rappresentare la bontà o meno di azioni CX. ROC e ROR sono due KPI alternativi che cominciano a farsi strada. Pubblichiamo un interessante Post di Mike Wittenstein, peraltro un “supporter” di AICEX.
