CEX refers to customer experience, which encompasses all interactions a customer has with a company from initial awareness to ongoing use of products and services. Providing excellent customer experiences is important for business outcomes like increased loyalty, reduced costs, and greater profits. The first steps to improving customer experience are understanding customers' needs, mapping their journey and touchpoints with the company, identifying pain points ("bugs"), and making improvements from the customer's perspective. Regular measurement and refinement is also important to sustain better experiences over time.
This document discusses the importance of customer experience and provides an overview of key concepts. It defines customer experience as how customers perceive their interactions with a company. Success requires following a four-phased path from repairing issues to differentiating through experiences. Six disciplines are identified to consistently deliver the right customer experience: customer understanding, strategy, culture, governance, design, and measurement. The business case is that better customer experience can drive higher revenues and lower expenses.

The document discusses the myth of customer centricity and how organizations can improve their customer experience. It notes that while 75% of organizations claim to have customer centricity in their mission or strategy, complaints still exist. It defines customer experience as the sum of all customer experiences and interactions with an organization. And it outlines five key elements to improving customer experience: 1) gaining customer insights, 2) developing a customer strategy, 3) innovating customer propositions, 4) mapping customer journeys, and 5) innovating digital touch points across channels.
The document discusses key concepts related to customer experience including customer experience, customer experience management, customer experience optimization, and customer experience enablement. It defines customer experience as all interactions people have with a solution, customer experience management as treating customer relationships as assets to engage customers as advocates, customer experience optimization as aligning a company around buyer priorities for revenue/profit growth, and customer experience enablement as the bridge between customer feedback and engagement to build trust, loyalty and profits.
The document discusses customer experience (CX) and describes it as a journey that begins with discovery, then invention, and ends with the user. It notes that the CX journey does not have a clear end or start. The journey involves design experience (DX), customer experience (CX), and user experience (UX). It emphasizes that the total customer experience involves all three of these elements working together from the point of initial prospect contact through enrollment, engagement, and ultimately becoming a customer.
This document provides an introduction to customer experience. It begins with definitions of customer experience, focusing on the interactions customers have with a company and how those interactions make them feel. Examples are given of companies that deliver great customer experiences. The presentation notes that factors like customer service, CRM systems, and UX specialists are not enough on their own and that the goal is to meet or exceed customer expectations. It introduces the key concepts of customer experience personas, touchpoints, and moments of truth. Overall statistics about the importance of customer experience are also presented.
Great CX requires a customer-centric mindset... and a lot of careful work. This guide is your introduction to the basics: why CX is important, how to improve it through customer feedback and surveys, plus tips from 100+ CX experts and a report with plenty of CX trends and stats—so you have everything you need to start delivering an exceptional experience for your customers.

Customers have an improved shopping experience through advanced technology that optimizes the information available to them. This includes content management that ensures customers receive optimized information. Stores also operate more efficiently through device utilization that enhances the shopping experience.
This document provides an overview of customer experience as a framework for marketing. It discusses the many definitions and concepts related to customer experience. While quality used to be enough for success, businesses now must understand customers emotionally to build loyalty. The author argues that research on customer experience needs to move beyond standard surveys and metrics to better capture emotions. Looking to fields like neuroscience, businesses can gain deeper insights into customer behavior. The future of research is actively listening to customers and co-creating customized solutions rather than following standard recipes.
The death of brick-and-mortar stores has been greatly exaggerated and has changed the business among legacy players. Leading retailers maximize digital touchpoints and revamp store experiences, while those without a clear strategy fall exponentially further behind. Retailers must cater to an omnichannel world by internalizing the customer-first mindset and blending digital and physical commerce via tools like live in-store inventory, localized search results, drive-to-store, display ads and more.
The document discusses retailers adapting to omnichannel environments. It presents an information and fulfillment matrix with four quadrants based on whether customers access information and fulfillment online or offline. Effective strategies include hybrid approaches like buy online pickup in store (BOPS) and inventory-only showrooms. The conclusion emphasizes that customers are omnichannel in their behavior so retailers need to offer integrated online and offline experiences to meet customer demands across different information access and fulfillment options.

What is Omnichannel Retail? Past. Present. Future.Mihai Dragan
Omnichannel retail allows traditional retailers to connect their existing channels such as brick and mortar or call centers to digital channels - online store, mobile app, social shopping channels and others.
This presentation focuses on how this came to be, what are the bottlenecks in implementing omnichannel retail and why should retailers switch to this new approach.
Probably the most compelling reasons to adapt to omnichannel retailing are today's customer demands. The customer wants 24/7 service and the same experience on all sales channels, whether it is the offline store, the mobile app or the brick and mortar outlet.

The document discusses predictions for the technology industry in Spain for 2013. It predicts that 90% of growth in the ICT industry will come from technologies of the "third platform," currently representing only 25% of ICT spending. It also predicts that utilities will embrace the third platform through increased experimentation with usage-based pricing, development of services based on smart grid intelligence, and greater use of analytics to better understand customers. Mobile solutions, decentralized microgrids, demand management and data-driven operations management are areas utilities will focus on.

Designing for Holistic Cross Channel ExperiencesSamantha Starmer
UX Israel Studio 2013 workshop. Much of the structure and content is similar to other workshop presentations I've posted, but there are some new examples and exercises.
It has never been easy to recommend something to other people, including your friends and not to
mention people you have never met or talked to. Just like users in your online shop! If you run an ecommerce
business, you should know how important it is to recommend the right products to the
right people in order to encourage them to buy more and come back to you for more in the future.
Having said earlier how difficult it is to recommend, so, what should you do to avoid mistakes when
displaying your product recommendations to complete strangers? What’s more, your
recommendations have to hit the right target, but how? It is not easy at all, but doable.
Stephanie Sansoucie, "Future of Omnichannel Immersion"WebVisions
Meaningful experience innovation can be found at the point where emerging technology, customer needs and business strategy converge. Big box retailers are in a precarious state today, evolve or die, resulting in substantial innovation across the domain. This evolution moves well beyond the retail domain, however, and will likely impact any organization that plays across physical and digital touchpoints.
In the future, emerging technology will infuse data into the fabric of our world resulting in immersive, contextually relevant experiences. To generate these immersive experiences, we will need to uncover customer needs beyond those high-level key moments of truth across the journey. We need to expose the micro-moments that matter. Just as organizations invest in experience evolution, so too must they evolve their business model based on learnings.
The future omnichannel organization is a nimble, learning organization driven by the changing needs of their customer. User experience professionals stand at the forefront of effective evolution. We are moving beyond the traditional interface. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of our work, we have the skills to bridge the gap between emerging technology and strategy to create new patterns of interaction. We must evolve our discipline to be ready for the future of omnichannel immersion.
It is widely acknowledged that omnichannel is the future
of retail. Customers want to shop anywhere at any time and expect a
seamless experience across all channels while doing it. However, it is also
widely acknowledged that most retailers are a long way from achieving
this complex state of readiness due to the fact that delivering against
those customer expectations touches virtually every department in the
retail enterprise.
Beacons can help support omnichannel experiences by connecting online and offline data. They allow retailers to provide a unified brand presence across channels like websites, mobile apps, and physical stores. Beacons transmit signals that can be detected by smartphones to track customers' locations within stores and enable experiences like navigation, analytics, and personalized communications. While beacons face challenges like app integration and privacy concerns, their low cost and support across mobile platforms make them a promising technology for improving customer journeys across online and offline retail channels.
Retailers are increasingly focusing on omnichannel strategies to meet customer demands across online and physical sales channels. While most retailers recognize omnichannel as the future, many acknowledge their strategies are only basic or intermediate currently. Retailers predict online sales, including through mobile commerce, will surpass physical store sales in the next 5-10 years. However, implementing fully developed omnichannel strategies remains a challenge for most retailers.
- Mobility has changed dramatically over the past few decades, with mobile subscriptions growing from 700 million in 2000 to nearly 6 billion in 2010, driven largely by adoption in developing countries.
- Emerging technologies like 5G networks, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and wearable devices are pushing the boundaries of what mobility can enable.
- The mobile app ecosystem has grown exponentially, with over 250,000 apps created by 85,000 developers generating over a trillion events in 2012 alone.
Omnichannel customers who can shop seamlessly across different channels like online, in-store, and mobile have a 30% higher lifetime value than customers who only use one channel. Most shoppers expect a unified experience where they can view inventory online, buy online and pickup in store, and make returns through different channels. Providing personalized experiences across channels can increase sales as 40% of consumers buy more from retailers that do so.

The document provides examples of both good and bad cross-channel experiences. It concludes by outlining five methods for designing cross-channel experiences, such as thinking in terms of services rather than individual channels, sharing resources between teams, starting with small experiments, embracing challenges, and focusing on why changes are being made rather than just what is being changed.
How to Design for the Future - Cross Channel Experience DesignSamantha Starmer
This document discusses cross-channel experience design. It begins by asking who the audience members are and what they hope to learn. It then discusses some of the key challenges of designing experiences across multiple channels like websites, mobile apps, physical stores, etc. The document presents five principles for cross-channel design: providing a consistent experience, making the experience convenient across channels, ensuring transitions between channels are connected, tailoring the experience to the user's current context, and designing experiences that span time across different touchpoints. It concludes by offering five methods for approaching cross-channel design, such as thinking in terms of services rather than individual channels, collaborating across organizational boundaries, testing designs by observing user behaviors, being comfortable with ambiguity and iteration
The document describes the need for designing cross-channel experiences that are consistent, convenient, connected, contextual, and span different touchpoints and times. It discusses examples of both good and bad cross-channel experiences, and outlines five principles for designing holistic experiences. Tools mentioned for mapping cross-channel experiences include stakeholder interviews, field research, touchpoint matrices, service inventories, and experience maps. The overall message is that users interact with brands through many different channels, so the design must consider the entire experience across all touchpoints.
Usability: whats the use? Presented by We are Sigma and PRWDNexer Digital
For websites, good usability is a matter of survival. If a website is difficult to use, people leave. If the homepage fails to clearly state what a company offers and what users can do on the site, people leave. If users get lost on a website, they leave. For intranets and applications the question is one of productivity. In many organisations employees waste inordinate amounts of time searching for and assimilating the information they need to do their jobs. This lost time has a real, tangible value so ROI for designing internal systems with User Experience in mind, and spending some time testing and improving the usability of the system, is pretty compelling.
As people with a strong User Experience focus we don’t need to be convinced of the value of good usability, but for many companies who are thinking of revamping their site, intranet or portal it isn’t quite so clear cut.
Presented by Chris Bush, www.wearesigma.com and
Paul Rouke, www.prwd.co.uk
The document discusses strategies for building a great user experience and "WOW" product. It emphasizes keeping products and experiences simple, focusing on solving core user problems, being agile and iterative in development, and closely measuring key metrics to understand user behavior. Specific examples are provided of companies like Myntra that initially forced users to their mobile app but then had to backtrack and add a mobile website due to user resistance to being restricted to one channel. Overall, the presentation argues that prioritizing an excellent user experience driven by user research and feedback is key to long term product and business success.

We carry a screen with us at all times, yet technology is already evolving beyond the screen. We must design beyond screens to ensure we can be leaders wherever, whenever and however interactions are going.
This workshop provides examples of where expertise should be leveraged beyond where many designers are currently involved and how to begin.
Artificial Intelligence seems to be all around us, and many organizations are feeling the pressure to implement AI solutions. But like with any technology, especially the emergent ones that get a lot of buzz, it’s critical to let your business and consumer needs lead the technology, not the other way around.
I believe that it is the IA practitioners in an organization who can and should be the ones leading when AI and machine learning makes sense, which interactions it can best support, and how to architect and design those interactions so that they best support humans – whether those humans are employees, end consumers or citizens.
In this talk I will ensure we all understand why we should be forefront in creating AI experiences, why they are exciting and yet challenging (and even risky) and how we can immediately get involved.

Building and Evangelizing Holistic Experience Design - DMI Seattle 2011Samantha Starmer
The document provides guidance on designing holistic experiences by outlining strategies across four areas: expanding your mind, creating a vision, building a path, and just doing it. It suggests expanding one's mind by breaking out of silos, making new friends outside one's usual circles, getting outside of one's comfort zone, and finding comfort in discomfort. It recommends creating a vision by understanding the big picture, following a clear goal, storytelling to excite others, and leading change. It advises building a path by listening holistically, understanding executives' goals, managing stakeholders, and removing obstacles. Finally, it suggests just doing it by not waiting for permission, trying new things, using metrics, and starting small.

The Future of Design is Not Just the Web - Web Visions Workshop 2011Samantha Starmer
The document discusses designing cross-channel experiences. It begins by explaining that customers experience brands across multiple touchpoints and channels, both digital and physical. The key is to design experiences that are convenient, connected, consistent, contextual, and span across time.
The document then provides five principles and five methods for cross-channel design. The principles are to make experiences convenient, connected, consistent, contextual, and spanning across time. The methods are to think in terms of services, share design work across teams, start by observing customer behaviors, be comfortable with ambiguity, and focus on customer needs rather than specific solutions.
Finally, the document discusses various discovery and solution activities for cross-channel design, such as stakeholder interviews
Get a Seat at the Strategy Table - WebVisions 2011Samantha Starmer
To get a seat at the strategy table, one must understand the organization's strategic goals and objectives, know how decisions are made, and think about long term changes. It is important to build relationships with allies, know potential opponents, and have important conversations before proposing new ideas. One should pick their battles wisely, help others' goals, and offer solutions, preferably with proposed solutions or already implemented solutions. It is also important to learn how executives communicate, listen more than speaking, and become comfortable discussing strategy with executives.
Create Successful Cross Channel Experiences - IA Summit 2011Samantha Starmer
The document discusses the importance of designing cross-channel experiences that are convenient, consistent, connected, contextual, and span time. It provides 5 principles and 5 methods for holistic experience design across digital and physical touchpoints. The principles are to think of services, share resources openly, gain diverse perspectives, address discomfort, and focus on user needs over solutions. Methods include documenting journeys, mapping experiences, understanding backend systems, storytelling, and cross-training teams. Tools involve using experience maps, getting different perspectives, telling stories, and cross-training teams in other disciplines. The talk encourages designing for the holistic experience rather than any single channel.
The gap between physical and digital has blurred: we use Wiis to get in shape, computers to order a pizza, or our smartphone’s GPS to find hot dates. People want to interact with products and services when they want to and how they want to – and that’s not always on the web.
The future of design is everywhere the customer touches our product or service - digital or physical. User experience practitioners must move beyond the screen to designing a holistic customer experience that is seamless across channels and devices.
Samantha Starmer discusses designing for a holistic customer experience across channels. She recommends starting by using metrics to understand customer journeys, mapping experiences, and listening holistically across channels like call centers, social media, and stores. Designing for a holistic experience means coordinating brand and information consistency and optimizing each channel's capabilities. It requires leaving one's comfort zone, collaborating cross-functionally, and letting go of control so the entire organization can focus on improving the customer experience.
Quantitative Information Architecture - Oz IA 2010Samantha Starmer
This document discusses how quantitative analytics can help drive information architecture (IA) decisions. It provides examples of the types of metrics that can be measured, such as traffic to different sections of a website, and how these metrics can be used to understand user behavior and improve the user experience. Quantitative data is presented as complementing, not replacing, qualitative research methods. The document advocates starting analytics efforts by clearly defining business questions and goals in order to focus measurement efforts and ensure the collected data will provide actionable insights.
1) Holistic information architecture is about designing integrated experiences across channels, platforms, and the digital and physical worlds.
2) Information, not technology, should be the foundation to connect experiences as users transition between different touchpoints.
3) An effective information architecture provides consistent and predictable pathways of information to tie together a user's experience holistically as they engage with a brand through various channels over time.
Don't Be a Digital Dinosaur: Design for the Space Between - Infocamp 2010 Ple...Samantha Starmer
The document discusses the need for experience designers to design holistic experiences that span both digital and physical channels, as well as multiple platforms. It notes that traditional boundaries are blurring as technology becomes ubiquitous and information can be accessed anywhere. The author advocates designing for the "space between" interactions by focusing on consistency of information and user journeys across channels to create a seamless overall experience. Experience design must look beyond individual websites or apps to consider all points of customer contact.
The document discusses how to incorporate user experience (UX) design principles into agile development processes. It recommends conducting quick user interviews to understand user needs, creating low-fidelity prototypes to test early with users, and iterating the prototypes based on user feedback to refine the design. Conducting rapid and frequent user testing is important to iteratively improve the design and ensure it meets user needs. Adopting an agile mindset of frequent collaboration, iteration and user feedback is key for meaningful UX work.

According to the heraldist, he has worked with many heraldic artists over
the years. However, he developed the ideas for all the coats of arms himself, except for his own. The case of the Kasyanenko (from the Shovkoplias clan) family coat of arms — featuring an audacious Cossack riding a rhinoceros — deserves special attention. "After all, one could talk about one's own crest, just like one's ancestors, for an eternity," he says.
