The days of data tables, 100-slide presentations and 300-page reports are done. Today, storytelling is the key to communicating research findings in ways that create impact. Storytelling is the best way to engage your audience and ensure that your message is received, understood, passed on and acted upon. One challenge researchers have to address is using storytelling in the context of evidence-based decision making.

Retailers know the clock is ticking–legacy SAP Commerce support ends in 2026. Legacy platforms are becoming a liability burdened by complexity, rigidity, and mounting operational costs.

The idea that employee engagement has a measurable impact on customer satisfaction and retention is intuitive. We understand a disengaged employee is less likely to provide a positive service experience (and even less likely to provide an exceptional one). When Sue is unhappy at work, she isn’t motivated to go above-and-beyond for a customer. She’s.

As I help business leaders deliver branded customer experiences, I often start with the premise that brands are nothing more than what people say about us when we’re not around. From there, I work with leaders to determine what they want to be known for and what they want to hear their customers say about them. For years companies have been trolling social media to see what customers post about brand experiences.

You can read the article here. If you do not want to read it, the conclusion to the article was that there is most definitely a need for everyone in an organisation to have a clear understanding of who their customers are – the customer persona is a tool to make that understanding a reality.

I was visiting a client last week and we started talking about the recent trend in customer experience which suggests that customers should come first over everything else. Over profits and stakeholders, over processes and policies and over employees. Although this sort of thinking has the right intentions, I think it’s a little misguided and could do more harm than good in the long run.

Products can be instantly reviewed on Amazon, restaurants critiqued on Yelp, hostels on TripAdvisor. If customers feel unheard, they can turn to Twitter and other social media platforms to share their opinions. So, it’s important to collect useful feedback from your customers to ensure they feel valued and also action their comments.
