Another year has passed and Digital Customer Experience (CX) finds itself – once again – at the top of many business agendas. Not surprisingly however, considering many experts are calling CX ‘the new battlefield’. Dramatic, I know – but there is some truth in the expression. In fact, 2018 is the year Gartner predicted that more than 50% of organisations will redirect their investments towards customer experience innovations. So why is there such a high demand to provide a good digital customer experience? And as a result, what kinds of innovations and trends can we expect to see this year?

t’s clear that customers are driving brands to transform, and many organisations are turning to technology to make necessary CX improvements. The answer to cultivating brand loyalty doesn’t lie solely in technology and, in the race to stay competitive, business leaders are losing touch with the very customers they are trying to serve.
The customer experience is at a breaking point and, in a sea of new technology, companies must find ways to maintain the human touch.

Companies are putting more and more effort into identifying and addressing the trials and tribulations customers encounter when interacting with them to create the best possible buying and use experience. Referred to as customer experience (and often abbreviated to CX), it’s inclusive of the customer’s journey from initial brand awareness to purchase, the customer’s interactions with the brand’s many touchpoints prior to and during use, and the environments the customer encounters during use of and interaction with the product or service. Brands find the greatest success and differentiate themselves from competitors by focusing on delivering an effortless experience that ensures each of those touchpoints and experiences are consistent and contribute positively to the customer’s overall journey.

There’s been some debate in the customer experience community about how to keep CX vibrant and as beneficial as possible. As part of that discussion, there was some disagreement around how to build momentum for a CX program. Should you try to tackle giant, very meaningful initiatives first to completely embed CX as an imperative for your business or should you start slowly, build momentum and grow your program steps at a time? After trying it both ways with multiple companies and with different teams, I’ve come to believe in the “crawl, walk, run” approach. Here’s why:
Attempting to tackle giant initiatives requires people, resources, money, time and most of all … patience. Some leaders can create a vision, dedicate resources to it and be comfortable waiting for successful outcomes.
