Recent research by my firm shows that more than two thirds of digital managers (68 percent) believe their organization’s internal structures are having a negative influence on the business’s ability to deliver effective customer journeys.
In another study, 42 percent of executives agreed that silos are the biggest internal barrier to digital transformation.
But while organizations seem aware of the negative influence internal structures can have on digital products and services, many are struggling to establish a legacy of the right structures and processes they need to transform customer experiences.

The hospitality industry has always been built on delivering a superior customer experience, and this has, for the most part, been centered around highly trained front desk staff, bespoke concierge services, and all the little "extras" that the best hotels are known for. Success in the hospitality industry today though, requires more than a friendly concierge who knows where to get the best tickets for the latest Broadway show. Customer experience in the hotel industry requires attention to the digital channel as well, especially as guests become more accustomed to and expect the option of digital, rather than face-to-face interaction.

The customer experience can drive business success more than many presume. Over half of companies now consider customer service a differentiator, and the new competitive advantage. It isn’t easily replicated, helps differentiate a company, along with other benefits, including word of mouth and referrals.

The “customer experience’ bandwagon marches on with a new Toolkit 2018 survey from researcher WARC saying that 53 per cent of brands and 58 per cent of agency respondents reckon it’s the key to “digital transformation.” All of which helps the big consultancies more than agencies as they compete for client budgets in a period of low sales growth, fragmented communications and commoditised products.

With only months remaining before the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect, it is dominating the news agenda and is a top priority for businesses. From retailers to charities and the manufacturing industry to financial services, the impact of GDPR will affect every organisation that handles customer data and will be far reaching.

The true value of IoT lies in its ability to revolutionize user experiences, whether that is in your home, in the office, within your car or even as you walk down a sidewalk. Embedded sensors are generating the data that is powering a new revolution for business and their consumers — the power of customer experiences, or CX. As various industries face commoditization on a grander scale than ever before, CX has become the prime differentiator in driving differentiation and consumer purchases. Modern businesses must reprioritize around CX to optimize on costs and provide better user experiences, ultimately driving customer and brand loyalty.
