Values play a pivotal role in driving execution in CX by turning intent into action and informing decision-making at all levels of the organization.
Frontline employees are best equipped by involving them in co-designing tools and journeys, promoting ownership, simplicity, and empowerment.
For a new CEO inheriting a company with poor customer ratings, the advice is to focus on data collection, small wins, and clarifying vision to drive cultural change.
