The final discipline of growth banking is all about listening and acting on feedback from your customers. This discipline requires an understanding of measure and metrics. It requires a commitment to closed-loop feedback. And it starts with the decision to either build or buy a Voice of the Customer solution for your own organization.
But it's important to note: having customer data and following up with individual customer and employee feedback is not enough to move your overall Net Promoter or Customer Loyalty scores.
Yes, you will be improving the experience for customers who share their insights and experiences with you.
But moving the overall scores will take a keen eye and a lot of analysis of customer insights. You'll need to pinpoint the one thing to do next to improve your business. Whether it's adapting a solution, adding a feature, or emphasizing a capability, it takes systemic changes to impact the experience of customer segments (or for all of your customers).

Over the past few months I’ve chatted with people from a lot of companies who say their 2019 goal is to become more customer-centric.
In each of those conversations, I emphasize that the most impactful change is creating an environment where all employees, regardless of title, see the customer as their North Star. To catalyze this transformation, customer experience (CX) champions should analyze feedback with empathy, operationalize insights throughout their organizations and foster constant communication about their most important stakeholder: the customer.

There is only one different with what we know from innovation in the past, it should be faster, bringing value quicker to the customer. But innovation is nowadays a buzzword, very used is corporate strategy presentations and session. It seems, that this will be the “new trend” to jump into.
There are some good reasons for that, as we live is such dynamic environment (taking into account customers, competitors, new players, technologies, politics) that challenge the status quo is the only way to survive, and then success. Although there are several points to review to fully understand what does this mean, what are the benefits and how to move forward. Historically, innovation is a concept tied to technology or R&D (Research and development), but not really in other fields like marketing, finance or general management.

If you work in a modern workplace, chances are you’ve used—or at least heard of—Slack. It’s the modern approach to email that changes how people communicate. Instead of messages getting buried in inboxes full of irrelevant emails, Slack simplifies the process for improved business communication. Started in 2013, today it is worth over $5 billion. It makes sense this product is so valuable considering it was built with obsessive attention paid to customer feedback. Feedback was considered through every product iteration. This is what it takes to become a competitive player in today’s market. Customers love Slack, and with good reason.

First and foremost, your CX Champions need to be trained on the basics: your CX vision and strategy. What is it? What are you doing? Why are you doing it? How are you doing it? What’s in it for me? What is the intended customer experience? How do you deliver it? And more.
Give the team details specific to what’s happening within the organization, how it’s going to happen, what the desired outcomes are, and how success will be defined. And don’t forget to talk about the culture and the employee experience. If you don’t make improvements there first, the CX work will all be for naught.
