Spending on customer experience has steadily increased in recent years. Yet, overall customer satisfaction rates are dropping. Customer complaints are rising. Organisations are taking longer to resolve issues, and more problems remain unresolved.
Why are we seeing this decline following a period of innovation and investment? What factors are missing from customer experience strategies? Are there hidden blockers preventing customer service from excelling in the digital era?
We interviewed 12 senior leaders to unpick the discrepancies emerging between investment and results in customer experience. Their in-depth insights offer fresh perspectives and explore how to bridge the gap between ambitions and outcomes in customer engagement.
Join us for the launch of our findings, where you’ll receive a copy of the report and hear recommendations that cover customer retention, complaint management, effectiveness and cost reduction. You’ll also have the opportunity to hear from the senior leaders we interviewed about their strategies, challenges and successes.
