Digital transformation consists of multiple interdependent and intersecting changes driven by technological disruption. An organization’s ability to not only survive digital transformation but thrive, is dependent on its ability to manage complex change with a cohesive strategy. Research data from multiple sources indicates that slightly more than half of major change initiatives are viewed as successful. That means that nearly half fail to achieve their goal, a clear indication that organizations will need to sharpen their change management skills to transform to the digital state. Does your organization have a plan in place for managing digital transformation?

Businesses desire to make use of this insight, so “We’ve moved down a path to determine how to operationalize emotion, putting core insights on emotion into practices as we design, build and operate elements of the customer experience… This is not a prediction of how the customer will feel in the future; instead, it is an explanation of what they are likely to do as a result of feeling that way.”

Gathering feedback from your users is a crucial part of any design process. The way in which you can gather this feedback varies depending on what kind of questions you are trying to answer, the resources you have available for user research and at what stage of the product life cycle you are currently in.

The customer experience is one of the most important factors in determining whether a first-time purchase becomes repeated, long-term business. That’s particularly true for B2B companies in the tech and energy spaces, where new, satisfied customers can go on to represent loyal and lucrative relationships.
As competition increases because of quicker shipping, more affordable or accessible material and the increasing role the internet plays in most business interactions, companies need to understand how to collect, quantify and act upon customer feedback if they want to be successful.

If you’re a business owner and it isn’t clear to you that the customer’s voice is the most important voice to hear, you’ve been living under a rock.
Now, more than ever, customers expect their needs to be met, and they expect their feedback to be addressed right here, right now. Now that social media has made it easier than ever to spread “word of mouth” commentary about a business’s performance, business leaders need to be acutely aware of what their customers are saying about their brands, while also being able to act upon that feedback in a timely, efficient and satisfactory manner.

Many B2B companies use Net Promoter Scores (NPS) to evaluate customer outcomes and make important customer-related decisions.
The use of NPS scores attempts to distill diverse customers' complicated feedback about a company into a single score. It asks the question, "How likely is it that you would recommend our company/product/service to a friend or colleague?"
While helpful as a general indicator of customer sentiment, NPS scores alone provide an incomplete picture of customer relationships and often can lead to an imperfect understanding of the current health of a company's customers.
