In the past 35 years leading customer experience transformation, it has become increasingly apparent that a crucial role of customer leadership executives (The Chief Customer Officer, The Chief Marketing Officer, The Customer Experience Officer) is to unite the company to achieve customer-driven growth.
- This leader unites the entire C-Suite team toward a examining and understanding the customer journey in its entirety – to drive accountability to moments that matter most in customers’ lives. The customer experience moments that drives value and growth.
- This leader engages across the organization to focus on the highest priorities, preventing the silos from cherry-picking individual projects or priorities.
- This leader works to enable the organization to embed the ability to work together – cross-functionally – in a new manner to improve customers’ lives.
Why Human Duct Tape?
In short, the CCO, CMO and CXO all act as the ‘human duct tape’ of their organization.
And while this is not an easy role, for those of us who have held it and love it…we can’t resist the rigor of guiding a company toward working more earnestly on behalf of its’ customers. We love watching the ownership of these skills take hold inside of the operation of the business. And we learn to stand back, and check our ego at the door so that operational leaders take accountability and the credit for improving customer experiences and business outcomes.
In my new podcast series, my goal is to illuminate the practices of these great Customer Experience leaders for you.
So that you can learn from their work, from their honesty, and from the kinship that those of us committed to this work has with each other.
