Of all the things employees despise, end of year performance appraisals (PA’s) are at the top of the list. The Washington Post has research to support that “basically every single person hates performance reviews.” Regardless of how we arrived here, leaders are no longer bound to the mistakes of the past.

Over the many years that I’ve spent doing customer experience work, every leader I’ve worked with has asked for explicit actions that they can take to show their commitment to CX transformation. I’ve spent plenty of time developing these actions through tried and tested methods, and decided to turn them into “recipe cards.” Recipe cards came to mind because I grew up in an Italian household with grandmothers who always cared for my siblings and I, and kept us fed.

My strong-willed daughter just turned 5 and I have noticed a recent change in her vocabulary as her favorite word is shifting from “no” to “why”. She still uses “no” a bit more than I would prefer but “why” is becoming increasingly prevalent. While this subtle shift from defiant to inquisitive is encouraging, “why” comes with its own inherent challenges.

Michael Lowenstein, Ph.D., CMC Thought Leadership Principal, Beyond Philosophy. One of my favorite movies about business in general, and employee behavior in particular, is Office Space. The film is full of bad management-staff relationship and motivation examples, and management’s myopic need for process execution for its own sake, not the enrichment or benefit of employees, and irrespective of the impact that they will, or won’t, have on customers.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
