Everything is connected, every surface area is primed for data-capturing IoT, and life is mostly conducted from our phones. Even reality itself is becoming trickier to pin down, whether augmented, virtual or actual.
With 2018 nigh, we should expect more of the same. Like a good and/or bad sequel, the stakes will be higher, the budgets bigger and the gadgets flashier. For some, it will be a bumpy ride. For others, unprecedented tech-enabled success awaits. For all of us, it will be anything but boring. Strap yourselves in, things are about to get interesting (again).

If you’re not already well on your way to GDPR compliance, it’s unlikely you’ll be fully compliant by May 25. But, according to the statistics reported in our first article, you’ll be far from the only one.
While it’s impossible to know how such wide-scale noncompliance will be addressed, there will likely be a grace period in which organizations that can demonstrate they’re making a good-faith effort will get by with a warning and perhaps some guidance on how to accelerate their efforts.

There’s just a few weeks to go before the General Data Protection Regulation comes into effect, with every organisation that handles customer data considering the impact and preparing for change.
So, what do you need to know about the impact GDPR will have on Customer Experience?
It’s been well documented that GDPR will completely change the way we interact with our customers, but it may come as a surprise that this is an opportunity that some savvy organisations are already embracing.
It’s an opportunity to completely transform customer experience – with focus on improving the customer journey.

This article guides you through the basics of GDPR (e.g. what it is and who will be affected), the most critical changes to be aware of in terms of digital feedback collection, why it’s important to comply with these regulations, the consequences if you choose not to and what we’re doing here at Mopinion to get ourselves and our clients ready for the new legislation.

Mopinion’s platform has undergone several changes in order to meet the requirements of GDPR. Among these changes is the modification of our visual feedback feature. Visual feedback allows Mopinion users to take an even closer look at how visitors experience their websites and mobile apps. The nature of this feedback, however, also presents some privacy risks (such as feedback screenshots that contain personal data) which must be mitigated completely. Mopinion has carefully and delicately reviewed all aspects of its visual feedback feature and added several powerful data masking options for protecting privacy-sensitive data.

As companies define their target maturity state and compliance road map, there is a tremendous opportunity for putting forth their brand as one that customers can trust. Come 25 May, the real beneficiaries will be companies that put customer experience at the forefront of their delivery plan and revisit data processing activities that are likely to cause most detriment to customers.
GDPR offers many avenues for companies to enhance customer experience and the core of customer centricity can be summarised into three facets, as below.

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. Indeed, it has the scope to change the face of marketing completely.

There is an uncomfortable and usually unspoken tension in the age of digital marketing: when we talk about “delivering a superior customer experience,” it's defined by the marketer, relative to business outcomes, not by the consumer, relative to their preferences.
Put another way, improvements to customer experience (CX) are measured by business metrics, not by consumer happiness. Yes, there’s a relationship between them, but at the end of the day, if conversions drop on the website, for example, that web experience will be revised.

Brexit is getting closer and with negotiations still in progress, all of us digital marketers are out there watching and waiting with bated breath…
