Back in April, I talked to Anthony Abbatiello, principal at Deloitte Consulting LLP, about Deloitte’s 2018 Global Human Capital Trends Report, some of the workplace trends that have emerged from their research and what they mean for leaders and entrepreneurs looking to build a business intent on delivering a great customer and employee experience.

We now live in an outcome-based economy. Customers want solutions, and if you don’t provide a solution and provide it well and fast enough with flexibility in price and offering, they can easily opt for one of your many competitors. To this flexible mindset add tons of data and an endless array of influences, and you’ve got a customer journey that is much more volatile than in years past.

i have not only done many things early, that’s what comes with being an analyst for 20 years – the wonderful challenge of working with early adopters guiding them to achieve the visions we concoct, but i have also taken the time to write down summaries of what it means to do what we just did. i find the value of my job to be to broaden the market, to make a bigger pie. bigger pies feed more people, and to make bigger pies you need a good recipe.

At a recent tech conference in Silicon Valley, an overheard remark from a participant captured the uncertainty around the concept of customer success: “Not sure I know many companies trying to achieve ‘customer failure’!”
It should come as no surprise that there is confusion over what is meant by “customer success” and how exactly to apply this new approach to your day-to-day business. Like other paradigm shifts, it will take time for customer success to become mainstream. Let’s take a brief look at these paradigm shifts.

In the much-cited book Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman he talks about how the brain works to create two selves, the experiencing self and the remembering self. The experience self is one that lives in the present whilst the remembering self is “the one that keeps score, that maintains the story of our life”. Based on our memory of an experience and our life it is a different entity to the experiencing self.
