Over the last decade or so, countless companies have fired up their own experience initiatives. These companies set out to create happier customers and employees, as well as a stronger bottom line\u2014all through the power of experience programs! However, even after a brand\u2019s CX practitioner(s) has gained program sponsorship, launched listening posts, and gathered data, it\u2019s not uncommon for them to hit a wall when it comes to taking action on customer feedback <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gathering metrics is all well and good, but executing an action plan is what makes the difference between measuring and transforming<\/a> your experience. Today\u2019s conversation covers how to take action on your experience program feedback in four steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every CX practitioner knows that taking action isn\u2019t as simple as A-to-B. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to hammer out the concrete steps you need to take toward experience improvement and brand transformation. It’s important to first consider where you are and remind yourself of the program\u2019s end goal. Then, collaborate closely with your team to figure out which actions you need to take. This process empowers your team to prioritize what to execute on first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your team has mapped out action plan stages, it\u2019s time to decide who else in the organization may be needed. This isn\u2019t necessarily the same as returning to the execs or other stakeholders and sponsors\u2014you may need to reach out to other teams who own processes that impact the experience, such as IT or user experience. Including individuals before <\/em>you take action will make the transformation process smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ve drawn a line from feedback to improvement and have the collaborators you need at the table. Now it\u2019s time to work together to define specific actions. This step is why it\u2019s so important to reach out to collaborators whose teams or departments you see improvement opportunities for. You\u2019re going to need their help to figure out the best way to solve a problem in their respective parts of the organization. You can share your experience data, they can share their perspectives, and meaningful action will soon follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A timeline helps ensure that the actions become reality. It\u2019s also a great way to hold your team accountable as they begin putting those actions into motion. Creating a timeline helps ground program expectations in reality and gives your team a firm timestamp at which to start monitoring implemented changes. Indeed, all of this makes creating a timeline perhaps the most important part of an action plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following these four steps will allow your organization to leverage what you\u2019ve learned from your experience program. You can put those learnings to great effect creating a more emotional experience for customers, greater meaning for your employees\u2019 work, and, consequently, a more robust market position<\/a> for your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click here<\/a> to read my full article on the importance of taking action to transform your business.
