It explores the motivations behind customer experience management (CEM) and its linkages to corporate goals, strategy, culture, processes, and business results.

What's new in 2013:

  • 10 challenges unique to B2B CEM, referring to the complexities of multiple influencers on buying decisions, multiple functional areas interacting between buyer and seller organizations, and extensive high-touch post-purchase interactions.
  • Performance on 6 CEM success factors identified as universal to both B2B and B2C organizations, as prerequisites to sustainable, strong business results.
  • Tools and technologies for facilitating and embedding CEM.
  • Clusters of CEM efforts, to show context and linkages among those activities.
  • CX efforts with profit-growing potential because they can minimize mis-alignment of the company with what’s important to customers.
  • CX efforts with revenue-growing potential that are often practiced with minimal profit-growing CX efforts underway.
  • Extensive recommendations are provided throughout the report. (11 pages of expert advice)
