Unlocking Customer Experience Success: The Power of a One-Page CX Strategic Plan
Customer experience is an essential factor in the success of any business, and companies should focus on creating a coordinated approach to enhancing this experience. Often, organizations tend to have different independent objectives in their customer experience projects, resulting in a disconnected and disjointed customer experience.
To improve coordination, application leaders supporting customer experience must create a one-page customer experience strategic plan using the tool provided. This one-page strategic plan can bring greater focus, insight, and management to customer experience. While organizations usually have an overall strategic plan, they need a separate one-page customer experience (CX) strategic plan to achieve their objective.
To create a CX strategic plan, application leaders should use the tool provided, which addresses the three key questions of CX strategy: "Where will we play?", "How will we win?" and "What will we need to win?". The template allows users to summarize these sections into an overall one-sentence aspiration that highlights the objective of the CX strategic plan and the pathway to reach it. The provided one-page customer experience strategic plan template is available for download.
To complete the plan, application leaders should replace the text in brackets [ ] with responses for their organizations, as outlined in each slide's components. Each component contains a blank template and a hypothetical example, such as "ABC Coffee Shop." Companies should use this template to collaborate across departments like IT, CX, customer service, marketing, sales, and even customers themselves if permissible.
Ensuring that the CX strategic plan aligns with the organization's overall strategic plan is vital. High-level overviews for those in need and detailed components for a more in-depth understanding are all provided in the one-page template. Additionally, companies must develop additional materials in support of the CX strategic plan and revisit it every six months or sooner if faced with a significant change. By adopting such an approach, application leaders can effectively create a coordinated customer experience that positively impacts the company's revenue and growth.
In conclusion, customer experience is a critical factor for the success of any business, and having a one-page CX strategic plan can help organizations bring greater focus, insight, and management to ensure that customers have an enjoyable experience.
