• Customer Experience (CX) encompasses all customer touchpoints, forming collective memories that drive future decisions, extending far beyond typical customer service or contact centre metrics.
• Inconsistency in customer interactions significantly erodes trust and loyalty, impacting a brand's reputation and future business relationships.
• Boards fundamentally prioritise risk and reward, focusing on increasing revenue, reducing costs, and ensuring regulatory compliance when evaluating initiatives.
