Frequently Asked Questions

Why this masterclass?

Changing times call for us to up-level our approach to CX, EX, and PX. The success factors that brought us to this point are certainly insufficient for our future! For example:

  • How is it that “quantifying CX ROI” is consistently the number one challenge in Pointillist’s study for the past 3 years, while NPS® is touted as the be-all end-all for CX metrics?
  • Why is EX in such a quagmire with the Great Reshuffle?
  • Why have major brands disbanded their entire CXM team, only to start again later on?
  • Why is no industry is performing in the Good and Excellent ratings of Forrester’s CX Index. In fact, 2022 scores are at 2020 levels. Performance over the past 5 years is almost static. Many other studies show similar findings.

Clearly, 2010s methods are grossly insufficient for the 2020s!

THIS MASTERCLASS GIVES YOU PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS TO THESE CONUNDRUMS, PLUS MUCH MORE!

This Experience Leadership MasterClass goes much deeper and broader than what you’ve seen elsewhere. Parallels among employee experience, partner experience, and customer experience are featured in every topic.
