CXOs no longer consider technology to be the top factor that will impact their businesses in the coming two to three years, according to the IBM Global C-suite Study, released Monday.

Journey analytics captures customer feedback from everywhere, doing the hard work in bringing together the ways in which customers engage, what they are trying to accomplish and where there are areas of friction that need ironing out. Their journey can be seen clearly, and shared across the company so that changes can be made and ideas implemented with confidence.
Using analytics to enhance the customer journey is a process that can be taken in stages. Here is an introduction in five steps:

Small businesses are losing ground to larger corporations – not in employment, but in revenues. When the Census was taken in 2001, businesses with fewer than 500 employees contributed more than half of GDP (50.5%). However, only nine years later, that contribution had reduced to 44.5%, giving large corporations a 55.6% share.

As with any profession, it is defined by a number of competencies, tools, techniques and methodologies that are recognised and practised by thousands of specialists around the world. It is a challenging profession for a variety of reasons – largely because it is not ‘black and white’. There is no one way of doing anything when it comes to Customer Experience. The art and skill of the Customer Experience Professional is knowing how to adapt and flex the tools, techniques and disciplines for any and every situation that faces them.
