How Chief Customer Experience Officers Gain Active Executive Support

by Megan Burns

with Harley Manning, Angela Beckers, Shelby Catino


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

To be successful, chief customer experience officers (CC/EOs) need a coalition of top executives who take an active role in transforming the organization. While most executives support the idea of customer-centricity, many fail to act because they don't understand the business value or don't know how to help. To move executives from passive bystanders to active supporters, CC/EOs should identify top influencers, rate their current level of support, and craft a customized plan to bring each executive along. Through it all, CC/EOs should use their passion for customer experience to set the tone for the rest of the leadership team.
