Customer Experience Rooms: cosa sono? Le aziende devono averle?

NOTA AICEX: Le Customer Experience Rooms sono dei luoghi che consentono ai dipendenti di comprendere l’esperienza che vivono i propri Clienti. Sappiamo tutti che, nell’era del cliente, le aziende devono trasformarsi da prodotto-centriche a cliente-centriche. Facile a dirsi ma meno a farsi. L‘attuale stato della customer experience rispetto a quello che l’azienda vuole davvero realizzare. La customer “centricity” richiede innanzitutto il coinvolgimento di tutta la l’organizzazione e di tutti i dipendenti ed inoltre la comprensione del ruolo di ognuno nell’esperienza che ogni cliente vive. 

In the age of the customer, companies must transform their cultures from product-centric to customer-centric. But that is easier said than done. Customer centricity requires all employees to understand who their customers are, how customers perceive their interactions with the company, and the roles employees play in delivering the overall experience.  Customer experience (CX) rooms — immersive, interactive spaces that help employees better understand customers — have emerged as a powerful new tool for bring customers and their journeys to life for workforces. Done well, CX rooms inspire empathy and understanding among employees and help build customer-centric cultures.

In my recent report, Executive Q&A: Customer Experience Rooms, I answered some of the common questions related to creating a CX room to help companies decide whether they should build their own CX room.

Why do companies create CX rooms?

Firms create CX rooms to help employees understand the current customer experience their company delivers and to better understand the intended experience the company wants to deliver. The CX room that Ingrid Lindberg, chief customer experience officer at Prime Therapeutics, created at a previous employer demonstrated how complicated it was for customers to know which of the company’s many phone numbers they should call or which of the firm’s many websites they should visit.

Perché Steve Jobs non ascoltava i suoi clienti ?

It’s really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them.

—Steve Jobs

This quote became legendary as one of the most famous opinions from a highly opinionated man. Regardless of your personal view on this statement, it is remembered by so many because of the bold implications that Jobs makes about customer feedback.

Forbes called the quote ”a dangerous lesson.“ Even as someone who has presented ample research that customers can and do inspire innovation across multiple industries, I’m here to tell you that you should mostly agree with Steve Jobs’ sentiments.

Today we are going to look at a few split opinions on the quote, comparing the merits of focusing on internal innovation versus the insights to be gained from customer feedback. Continua a leggere “Perché Steve Jobs non ascoltava i suoi clienti ?”

McKinsey: Digitalizzare il consumer decision journey

NOTA AICEX: ricostruire l’esperienza cross-channel del cliente non è certo una impresa facile. Utilizzare gli strumenti digitali per fornire ai clienti informazioni just-in-time e ben targetizzate, potrebbe aiutare. Molte aziende sono però ancora convinte di fare già tutto alla perfezione in questo ambito: sarà vero? Tali aziende si rendono conto di quanto complesso sia gestire le interazioni con i clienti digitalizzati?
La soluzione gira sempre intorno ad uno degli elementi cardine di una buona customer experience e cioè la visione del cliente a 360 gradi, raccogliendo in un unico repository (hub) tutte le interazioni con l’azienda: social, voce del cliente, crm, campaign management, dati finanziari, predictive analytics e chi più ne ha più ne metta. Le soluzioni tecnologiche sul mercato sono molteplici, alcune delle quali disponibili anche in Europa.

In a world where physical and virtual environments are rapidly converging, companies need to meet customer needs anytime, anywhere. Here’s how.

 Many of the executives we speak with in banking, retail, and other sectors are still struggling to devise the perfect cross-channel experiences for their customers—experiences that take advantage of digitization to provide customers with targeted, just-in-time product or service information in an effective and seamless way.
