It’s 2020 and the world has completely turned on its head. Businesses have found themselves scrambling to adapt to the new regulations, searching for creative ways to maintain the same levels of efficiency with a remote workforce. This movement is so large scale, in fact, that Time magazine is calling it, ‘the world’s largest work from home project’. And what’s more, this way of working is likely here to stay for some time, even after the crisis is over.

We hear companies throwing around common phrases like, ‘Customer centricity is at the heart of our organisation’ and ‘We’re very much in tune with the needs of our customers’. Not surprisingly, seeing as how according to a study carried out by Bain and company, 80% of organisations they surveyed believed that they were providing a superior customer experience to their customers. Meanwhile, just 8% of their customers shared this opinion. Only eight percent! This is a huge disconnect and gap in perception, one that is commonly referred to as the customer experience gap.

But for customers, real experiences – whether physical or digital – are still just as emotive and memorable as ever.
So why aren’t CX strategists, whether they’re marketers, technologists, service or support executives, adapting to this idea? The problem is quantification--or more accurately, uninspired quantification.

In an increasingly omnichannel and mobile retail world, the potential for customer engagement has expanded to channels outside the four walls of your brick-and-mortar store.

Worse yet, clients and developers alike continuously contribute to the current outbreak of design delinquency in equal measure.
