    "Using customer shadowing to improve and innovate customer service design." with Andrew Gallan

    Steve Jobs once said, "Design is not just what it looks and feels like. Design is how it works." While organizations do focus on the look and feel, unfortunately, the 'how it works' part is ignored. And from the customer's perspective, this is a pain point that needs to be worked upon. The concept of customer shadowing can help overcome these pain points and design robust customer service. Customer shadowing is like being the fly on the wall while a customer goes through his/her journey. To discuss customer shadowing and how to use it to improve and innovate customer service design, I have with me Andrew Gallan, Assistant Professor of Marketing and the Director of The Centre for Services Marketing and Management at FAU School of Business, Florida. Among other things, Andrew and I discuss: What exactly is customer shadowing? How is it different from mystery shopping? What insights can one expect to derive of a customer shadowing exercise? How can customer shadowing impact customer experience? Honestly, I didn't know much about Customer Shadowing before this podcast. Thanks to Andrew, I learnt a great deal and I can assure you that you would learn something really interesting in this podcast.

    "How to bridge the gap between business and CX strategy?" with Adrian Swinscoe

    There is no denying that the end goal of any business is growth. And the one definitive way of achieving more growth is focusing on customer experience. Hence, for any organisation, its business strategy must go hand in hand with its CX strategy: the CX strategy must actualise the business strategy. However, many times, this does not happen and there is a significant gap between the CX and the business strategy. To discuss how organisations can bridge this gap, I am joined today by one of the best and the brightest in the CX world - Adrian Swinscoe. Adrian is a veteran customer experience consultant and advisor. He is also a best-selling author, Forbes contributor, blogger & podcaster, frequent conference speaker, panel participant and chair in various reputed CX conferences around the world. Among other things, Adrian and I discuss: Why do misalignments between business and CX strategies occur? How can organisations bridge the gap between business and CX strategies? What challenges do organisations encounter when aligning the two strategies and how they can overcome them?

    "Creating a healthcare brand with customer centricity and CX at the heart" with Rohit MA

    Today's customers are demanding. The retail, banking, and hospitality sectors have realized that CX is the only differentiator today and have upped their game considerably to provide the best possible experience to their customers. Naturally, customers expect the same from all brands across all sectors, including healthcare. And why shouldn't they!? Healthcare is perhaps the only sectors where customers need the most love, empathy, and compassion. Right? Strangely, not many healthcare brands understand this fact. I wouldn't be wrong in assuming that most of us have been through one or more not-so-pleasant experiences at hospitals. Healthcare brands today must do all that they can to improve and enhance patient experience. But how do they do that? In this podcast, I talk with Rohit MA, Co-founder and Managing Director at Cloudnine Group of Hospitals - India’s leading chain of maternity, childcare and fertility care group of Hospitals, to help understand what healthcare brands can do to enhance the patient experience. Among other things, we discuss: How to design an amazing patient experience process? How to align employees to your CX vision? How to hire employees effectively? How to collect and use patient feedback to better the patient experience? While I am certain that this podcast will add value to all business leaders, it is a must-listen for all of you in the healthcare sector.

    "How to create 'simple' and 'simplified' experiences?" with Ricardo Saltz Gulko

    People often conflate 'simple' with 'plain', and 'plain' has, well, a plain connotation. Nothing special about it. But, simple, as Da Vinci reminds us: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." When it comes to organisations, complexities are discouraged and simplicity is favoured and the reason for that is: simplicity is hospitable to adaptability and the efficacy of an organisation. Think of it this way: complexities within an organisation are inadvisable for they contribute to poor customer experience. Still not satisfied? Thankfully, I have one of the top professionals in this field to walk, you and I, through it all. In this podcast, I talk with Ricardo Saltz Gulko about how to deliver simple and simplified experiences to your customers and employees! Ricardo is the Managing Director and Co-founder of Eglobalis, a boutique consulting agency dedicated to enabling global tech companies to become more agile and adaptable to change. An MBA from Kellogg School of Management and a CCXP, Ricardo **is also a Thought Leader Member and Contributor at the CX University. Ricardo and I take a deep dive into: what is organisational complexity? how to break the organisational complexity barrier to drive growth? how Ricardo helps companies to design and lead a culture of 'simplicity'? how this organisational 'simplicity' improves customer experience? ... and much more. Tune in if you think your place of work is too 'complex' and want to help facilitate change towards a 'simple' organisation.

    "How to help government organisations deliver good CX?" with Stephanie Thum

    The thought of visiting a government office, for most of us, is often followed by an exasperated sigh. Generally, that reaction is rooted in the poor experience that government offices are infamous for. CX improvement in government is often stymied due to its agencies' culture, shortage of staff, and / or dearth of technological implementation and adoption. These factors, among others, lead to an unsatisfactory experience. Fortunately, there are individuals and organizations out there, helping the governments improve their customer experience around the world. My guest on this podcast is among the leading Government CX Professional. I talk with Stephanie Thum, Founding Principal at Practical CX, about how to improve CX in government. Before starting Practical CX, she was Chief Advisor and Subject Matter Expert for Federal Customer Experience at Qualtrics. She has also served as an advisor for President Obama’s cross-agency task force on customer service. Stephanie and I discuss: Who is a customer for the government? What are the factors influencing the customer experience in government? Why must government offices focus on delivering better customer experience? What can governments do to improve customer experience? This conversation really made me realize that government offices too have a business to run and they need to focus on delivering delightful CX to make a lasting difference in people's life. If you're a CX professional or work in any other role in a government agency, this is for you.
