Peter Wagstaff is a Senior Lecturer and Marketing Academic at Monash University. We speak to Peter about customer experience in higher education. We ask the question: Who actually is a university’s customer? We debate the reasons why bureaucratic organisations struggle to provide great experiences. And Peter shares a controversial opinion of why it’s sometimes actually good to make a student’s life difficult.   Resources mentioned: The CX field-of-study is being driven by industry bodies like Gartner, Forrester, McKinsey, PwC and Harvard Business Review.
