Cutting-edge companies are turning to artificial intelligence and machine learning to transform how they interact with customers, strengthening those relationships, distinguishing themselves from competitors, and increasing revenues.
At the center of this transformation are technologies such as chatbots, recommendation engines, personalized communications, intelligent ad targeting, and image recognition. Gartner analyst John-David Lovelock predicts that AI-derived business value will more than triple to $3.9 trillion by 2022 — with improvements to the customer experience key to this growth.

In the world of business, and more specifically customer experience, the focus on single number metrics, whether that be NPS, CES or CSAT, has for many reached mythical proportions. But very much like baseball, they rarely tell the whole story, or even the right story, when it comes to measuring true business success through a customer’s eyes, and their resulting emotions.

Customer experience is critical to the success of any organization. As the 2018 KPMG Customer Experience Excellence report states, organizations that fail to meet customer experience (CX) expectations “rarely get a second chance.”
Yet KPMG and other consulting firms report that customer expectations for CX are rising faster than companies’ efforts to meet those expectations, so it is important for companies to be able to gauge the success of their CX efforts.

A customer’s experience is very much a qualitative and emotion based experience. So why are companies so obsessed with turning this into a quantitative measure? Whether it is Net Promoter Score, Customer Satisfaction or Customer Effort Score, companies want to track a number. Tracking a score like NPS can be used to highlight the need to improve but the number alone won’t provide the insight you need to actually make those improvements.
