Rise of the Customer Experience Executive Rise of the Customer Experience Executive WRITTEN BY ANNETTE FRANZ, CCXP About Quadient PROBLEM STATEMENT: As more and more products become commoditized, the key brand differentiator is the customer experience. Given that, there’s a real need for companies to put forth an organized and aligned effort to focus, nay obsess, over customers and their experience. That focus does not happen on its own and requires a critical leadership role to drive and champion it throughout the organization. What is Customer Experience? We can’t even begin to explain this leadership role Many people confuse customer experience with custom- without having a clear understanding of how custom- er service, but they are not one and the same.

The customer-focused leadership role mentioned previously comes with a variety of different titles. In some organizations, the Chief Marketing Offi- cer (CMO) or the Chief Information Officer (CIO) takes on the role. In a perfect world, the role is a C-level position with “customer” in the name that reports to the CEO; some organizations appoint a Vice President of Customer Experience instead of a C-level person. For the purpose of this paper, let’s assume it’s a C-level role (though that absolutely doesn’t discount the VP title, role, or authority). More specifically, the Chief Customer Officer The CXO must understand the customer, her needs You’ve probably heard or seen various titles even for Council defines the CCO as: and her tasks to be done, and then align performance the C-level position, including Chief Customer Officer toward those desired customer outcomes with business (CCO), Chief Customer Experience Officer (CCXO), “An executive who provides the comprehensive and outcomes.

CCO IS: “AN EXECUTIVE WHO PROVIDES THE COMPREHENSIVE AND AUTHORITATIVE VIEW OF THE CUSTOMER AND CREATES CORPORATE AND CUSTOMER STRATEGY AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE COMPANY TO MAXIMIZE CUSTOMER ACQUISITION, RETENTION, AND PROFITABILITY.” Does Every Company Need a CXO? For the purpose of this paper, we’ll refer to the C-level role as CXO, which encompasses any one of the title options mentioned in the previous section. Why is this position necessary? Does every organization need a CXO? How do you know if your company needs a CXO? Quite simply, it’s time to create memorable customer That’s a tough question that we hate to answer with, experiences!

When you think of the CXO role, think “change agent.” The CXO has a long roster of to-dos, but ultimately, she’s driving change within the organization, i.e., culture change, customer experience change, and more.

CCO IS: “AN EXECUTIVE WHO PROVIDES THE COMPREHENSIVE AND AUTHORITATIVE VIEW OF THE CUSTOMER AND CREATES CORPORATE AND CUSTOMER STRATEGY AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE COMPANY TO MAXIMIZE CUSTOMER ACQUISITION, RETENTION, AND PROFITABILITY.” What are the Biggest Challenges to Success? Thinking about what it takes to transform the organization’s way of thinking and way of doing business, there are two key challenges to a CXO’s success in her role. Given the six critical success factors noted above, clearly, there are more than two challenges, but these two are critical: Missing a customer-centric culture. Lacking alignment with peers.

  • Congratulations on Your Win As Speaker of the House. As You
    Speaker Pelosi and the 116th Congress: Congratulations on your win as Speaker of the House. As you prepare to establish your priorities for the new Congress and Democratic House majority, we would like to thank you for your leadership on the fight to address climate change and ask for your continued support in the first 100 days of the 116th Congress. Businesses, communities, and American families who have been leading the way are looking forward to having a partner in the federal government as we address the shared U.S. and global challenge of climate change. Reports released last year, including the Trump administration's own 4th National Climate Assessment (NCA) and the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, show that climate change is already having a drastic impact on our health and our economy. These reports only further underscore the need to take action now. Since President Trump announced his intention to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement nearly two years ago, we, the undersigned governors, mayors, county executives, tribal leaders, businesses, faith groups, investors, hospitals and healthcare systems, and nonprofit organizations have joined forces to tell the world that we are still committed to meeting America's pledge on climate. In the absence of federal leadership, 3,600 leaders from states, cities, businesses, faith communities, and healthcare, representing more than half of the U.S. economy and population, are working locally to adopt and meet targets for reducing the pollution driving climate change - cutting 500 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year by 2025 if targets are fully implemented.
