How can the CEO of a major organization change the company culture in just five minutes a day? A few years ago, I found that I was asking myself the same question. I decided that, although I might not be able to change everything that was wrong with my company in five minutes, I could make things better for one person. I committed myself to personally responding to one customer each day.

The CEO of Busey Bank, Van Dukeman, has an interesting concept he calls the of Business. I heard his presentation on the subject of how quickly a business moves when I had the privilege of working with the bank, and I realized the importance of how velocity applies to the customer service experience. What comes to mind when you hear the word velocity ?

As someone who spent 17 years working in a corporate environment, I have experienced enough metaphors and analogies to last me a lifetime. Often, the use of both come across as either patronising, irritating, or indeed both!! That being said, in reality, I am actually as guilty as using them to get a point across as anyone else! If you are not fond of an analogy, then I suggest you spend the next five minutes of your time doing something else!!

This journey map for the Exploratorium , a science museum in San Francisco, is one of my favorites. That’s because the folks at the former design agency Adaptive Path (which was acquired by Capital One back in 2014) did a great job of highlighting two key things: 1) The entirety of the customer experience. It would be easy for Exploratorium management to focus exclusively on the museum experience—everything that happens within their physical walls, represented by the square box in the middle of

Many companies that claim to offer good customer service in reality are grounded in an operations’ mentality with rules and policies that allow for little flexibility, preventing them from rising above anything more than average or satisfactory. The companies that really understand customer service have a different focus. Their hiring and training is focused on customer service, and they truly deliver it.

As a young boy growing up in London, and with a football loving father, I had the pick of a number of world famous clubs to become a fan of. Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Fulham and Queens Park Rangers are among 14 professional teams based in London, still competing in the top four divisions of English Football. Sadly, I chose to follow my fathers footsteps and become a fan of his team – Leyton Orient.

Customers love a company because they perceive value in their interactions with its people, products, and services.

A customer journey map is a simple idea that has become overly complicated. At its core, a customer journey map tells the story of a customer’s experience. It begins at initial contact, develops with engagement and forms a long-term relationship between a brand and its customers. It identifies key interactions and defines the various feelings, motivations and expectations that a customer might have at each touchpoint.

I am proud to say that Horst Shultze, the founder of the modern-day Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, has been a mentor. One day, I was asking Horst about a client of mine that was struggling to engage customers. As I presented the challenge to Horst, I explained the efforts the company’s leaders had exerted to, “improve the quality of their customer experience so that most customers had less pain during interactions”.

If you’re in Customer Service, you’ve heard of “omnichannel”. In fact, you’re probably sick of the term. This concept is easy to understand and the technology isn’t the real challenge. The challenge is the human interface, both the consumer wanting (or not wanting) omnichannel integration , and the agent actually incorporating all channels in the right way.

As customer experience has become increasingly recognised as a thing of tangibility, so has the need to adopt and embed the skills and competencies that make managing it (customer experience that is) a reality. Any ‘concept’ that becomes something requiring methodologies, approaches, tools and techniques, also requires the need for people to understand how to use, deploy and embed them.
