Delivering great CX is a lot like putting on a concert: You can gather world‑class musicians, give each of them brilliant individual parts, and still end up with… noise. What turns noise into music is a shared score — a bold vision of what the performance should sound like — and a plan that helps every section play in sync.

CX is no different. Organizations don’t succeed because every team follows its own plan. They succeed when everyone rallies around one unifying vision and one clear strategy that guides decisions, actions, and priorities across the business.

The good news: You don’t have to compose that score or conduct the rehearsal on your own. Forrester has created a set of practical reports, templates, and assessments to help you craft (or refresh) a CX vision and strategy that will get your organization in sync. Whether you’re establishing a new CX function, re‑energizing your team, or trying to align a few strong personalities, these assets will help you turn scattered effort into coordinated impact.

      • CX Strategy Essentials: A quick, no‑nonsense guide to what actually belongs in a CX strategy — and what doesn’t. It’s perfect for sharpening your thinking and aligning teams on the fundamentals.
      • The Forrester CX Strategy Assessment Tool: A fast, structured way to see where your CX strategy stands today. It’s ideal for spotting gaps, surfacing strengths, and getting leaders on the same page about what needs to be on the page.
      • The Forrester CX Strategy Development Template: A step‑by‑step framework — built as a set of worksheets packed with sharp, practical questions and resources — which helps you to engage stakeholders and capture the core components of your CX strategy. It turns conversations into clarity and gets everyone aligned on what really matters.
      • Your CX Vision: How To Create A Customer Experience Vision To Guide Transformation: Guidance for crafting a CX vision that inspires and rallies people to act — not one that simply decorates a slide. It includes real examples that show what good looks like in practice.
      • The Forrester CX Vision Development Template: A practical tool to bring your CX vision to life. It helps you to paint a vivid picture of your future CX program and align leaders around what that actually means for your organization.
