Gobeyond Partners: Customer Experience is a Strategic and Human Issue

by Gobeyond Partners

Our new research reveals that customer experience is largely perceived as a strategic issue and one that should be driven at board level (81%).

We surveyed over 450 managers and above across retail and wholesale, financial services and banking, private healthcare, and insurance, found that 86% of UK businesses are currently measuring customer experience and that 81% of respondents believe customer experience to be a strategic issue which requires more senior level accountability.

The results highlight a clear need for senior executives to be knowledgeable about customer experience, and importantly, measure it across the entire customer journey. The results revealed that 36% of organisations surveyed only measure customer experience at specific touchpoints, and not across the entire customer journey, whilst 12% of UK businesses are still not measuring customer experience at all. Rather it was those companies who do indeed measure customer experience across the entire customer journey (50%) who were found to be 1.4 times more likely to report revenue increases over the last 12 months, than those that don’t.
