  Without defining and implementing an efficient customer experience pro-
  gramme, companies will continue to struggle to create a “wow” experience
  and to satisfy, retain and co-create value for their customers

  While 83% of the companies recognise the importance of delivering an outstanding customer expe-
  rience, 100% rate their performance as not satisfactory or neutral (see figure 1 and 2).

  Moreover, the results of the study reveal that the respondent companies are struggling to implement
  an efficient customer experience management programme. 46% of companies consider the imple-
  mentation of a customer experience management programme in their company as not satisfactory
  while only 12% of companies consider it as successful (9 or 10 on a scale of 1 to 10) (see figure 3).

Companies must define and disseminate across the company a well-ar-
ticulated customer experience vision, with buy-in from all stakeholders

Only 29% of companies have developed a concrete customer experience vision, only 13% consider
that their vision is adequately shared across the company and merely 21% of companies claim to
have it satisfactorily translated into strategic objectives (see figure 4).

While senior executives recognise the importance of customer experience, they fail to translate it into
concrete operational actions and behaviours.

Though customer experience is high on the agenda of the top management for 42% of the companies
(9 or 10 on a scale of 1 to 10), many senior executives are struggling to lead concrete customer ex-
perience actions, give guidelines and communicate about customer experience within their company.

Results show that senior executives are struggling in particular to communicate a shared image of
the ideal customer experience they want to deliver. Hence, executives manage to consistently com-
municate this shared image in only 17% of companies while they do not convincingly communicate
it in close to 1 out of 2 of companies (see figure 5).

Companies especially fail to effectively integrate the customer segments
and the customer lifecycle dimensions into their customer experience
strategy

Only 21% of companies have a clearly defined customer experience management strategy, and, at
the same time, 3 out of 4 companies fail to manage and integrate customer experience dimensions
such as products, segments, channels, customer lifecycle, moments of truth and customer touch-
points (see weave Customer Experience Management Framework).

Indeed, only 8% of companies say they are consistently integrating products into the prioritisation
and definition of the customer experience actions. Only 13% of companies consider that they are ad-
equately integrating customer segments, channels and customer lifecycle. Barely 1 out of 4 compa-
nies rate as excellent the integration of moments of truth and customer touchpoints (see figure 7).

A shift is required in the organisation’s DNA to better examine the experi-
ence from the customer’s point of view, and to use that perspective to
make improvements and manage the experience

Though 1 out of 2 companies have very satisfactorily implemented a VOC programme, our study re-
veals that only 8% of companies efficiently use the collected customer insights to define and enhance
customer experience management.

Moreover, several improvement opportunities remain for the respondent companies in terms of po-
tential sources/means to collect the Voice of the Customer. The results reveal that, with the exception
of the customer complaints that are used by 83% of companies, all the other potential sources of
VOC, such as social media, voice of the employees, CRM, user groups/ advisory boards or all influ-
encers in the buying decision process could be more efficiently exploited by at least 79% of compa-
nies (see figure 10).

Companies need to engage the whole organisation and specifically the
employees to create a great experience

The results show that some useful levers to improve customer experience are unexploited by com-
panies. Indeed, only 4% of companies rate as excellent or close to excellent the development and
implementation of new technologies to improve the customer experience. Only 8% of companies
consider they successfully offer a new/improved value proposition linked to the customer experience
vision.

A somewhat higher but still very limited proportion of companies consistently enhance their organi-
sation (25%), optimise operations and processes (25%) or engage employees (21%) to become more
customer-centric and deliver an improved customer experience.

Understanding the customer experience economics allows companies to
build the business case for change; customer experience directly impacts
your bottom line

Our study reveals that only 1 company out of 5 manages to appropriately understand and measure
the customer experience business case.

Indeed, on the one hand, 83% of companies say that they measure the performance of their customer
experience management programme, although only 17% of companies consider that they success-
fully measure this performance (9 or 10 on a scale of 1 to 10).

On the other hand, while 38% of companies have adequately developed metrics to measure customer
experience management performance, only 17% of companies successfully measure the impacts of
the customer experience management programme on customer satisfaction and only 13% of com-
panies successfully track the effectiveness of customer experience management actions on business
performance.

The results show as well that, for 50% of companies, customer experience management is not sat-
isfactorily integrated into the general performance management of the organisation.

Since customer experience is not satisfactorily integrated into the performance management of com-
panies and only few of them successfully track the impacts of customer experience management on
customer satisfaction and business performance, it is not surprising to see that executives use the
customer experience measures to make investment decisions in only 4% of companies.

Customer Experience

and industry comparison
  Based on its framework, weave has developed a Customer Experience Management Index (CEMI).
  This index is based on the evaluations shared by the respondents about their company’s performance
  and maturity on each dimension of the weave Customer Experience Management Framework. The
  CEMI gives an overall score reflecting the general level of customer experience management maturity
  and performance. Indexes are reported on a 0 to 100 scale.

Companies must define and disseminate across the company a well-ar- ticulated customer experience vision, with buy-in from all stakeholders Only 29% of companies have developed a concrete customer experience vision, only 13% consider that their vision is adequately shared across the company and merely 21% of companies claim to have it satisfactorily translated into strategic objectives (see figure 4).

Though customer experience is high on the agenda of the top management for 42% of the companies (9 or 10 on a scale of 1 to 10), many senior executives are struggling to lead concrete customer ex- perience actions, give guidelines and communicate about customer experience within their company. Results show that senior executives are struggling in particular to communicate a shared image of the ideal customer experience they want to deliver. Hence, executives manage to consistently com- municate this shared image in only 17% of companies while they do not convincingly communicate it in close to 1 out of 2 of companies (see figure 5).

Companies especially fail to effectively integrate the customer segments and the customer lifecycle dimensions into their customer experience strategy Only 21% of companies have a clearly defined customer experience management strategy, and, at the same time, 3 out of 4 companies fail to manage and integrate customer experience dimensions such as products, segments, channels, customer lifecycle, moments of truth and customer touch- points (see weave Customer Experience Management Framework). Indeed, only 8% of companies say they are consistently integrating products into the prioritisation and definition of the customer experience actions. Only 13% of companies consider that they are ad- equately integrating customer segments, channels and customer lifecycle. Barely 1 out of 4 compa- nies rate as excellent the integration of moments of truth and customer touchpoints (see figure 7).

Companies need to engage the whole organisation and specifically the employees to create a great experience The results show that some useful levers to improve customer experience are unexploited by com- panies. Indeed, only 4% of companies rate as excellent or close to excellent the development and implementation of new technologies to improve the customer experience. Only 8% of companies consider they successfully offer a new/improved value proposition linked to the customer experience vision. A somewhat higher but still very limited proportion of companies consistently enhance their organi- sation (25%), optimise operations and processes (25%) or engage employees (21%) to become more customer-centric and deliver an improved customer experience.

Understanding the customer experience economics allows companies to build the business case for change; customer experience directly impacts your bottom line Our study reveals that only 1 company out of 5 manages to appropriately understand and measure the customer experience business case. Indeed, on the one hand, 83% of companies say that they measure the performance of their customer experience management programme, although only 17% of companies consider that they success- fully measure this performance (9 or 10 on a scale of 1 to 10). On the other hand, while 38% of companies have adequately developed metrics to measure customer experience management performance, only 17% of companies successfully measure the impacts of the customer experience management programme on customer satisfaction and only 13% of com- panies successfully track the effectiveness of customer experience management actions on business performance. The results show as well that, for 50% of companies, customer experience management is not sat- isfactorily integrated into the general performance management of the organisation. Since customer experience is not satisfactorily integrated into the performance management of com- panies and only few of them successfully track the impacts of customer experience management on customer satisfaction and business performance, it is not surprising to see that executives use the customer experience measures to make investment decisions in only 4% of companies.

This index is based on the evaluations shared by the respondents about their company’s performance and maturity on each dimension of the weave Customer Experience Management Framework. The CEMI gives an overall score reflecting the general level of customer experience management maturity and performance. Indexes are reported on a 0 to 100 scale.
