Intensifying pressure on all executive management and especially the c suite to prove their gumption as catalysts for change or suffer the obvious results of complacency.
“How can you step up? Fight complacency and broaden the scope of your remit to match the demands of empowered customers,” asks Forrester.
By the end of next year, Forrester expects nearly half of CMOs globally – and an even higher percentage in Australia – to go further in leading their firms’ customer experience efforts.
This means CMOs need to rethink the way brand and CX teams collaborate.
“CMOs all executive management need to start to further break down the silos between brand and CX teams to ensure customer experiences align with brand promises,”
