Summary

Forrester’s research estimates more than 60% of B2B companies have a customer experience function, but the specific responsibilities for those functions are highly variable. In order to prioritize improvement efforts, maturity models are useful for assessing where an organization or function falls on a spectrum of growth, sophistication and contribution, and can also be used to assess areas of dysfunction or misalignment.
