Expectations for executives leading their companies’ customer experience (CX) efforts seem to grow every day. From driving sustainable growth, to aligning your teams and integrating your technology, to empowering employees to do their best work—there’s more on your plate than ever. Meanwhile, customer expectations can feel like a moving target that only goes up: buyers today are digital first, becoming more informed, more comfortable switching between channels, more likely to ignore anything that doesn’t feel authentic—and they expect businesses to follow their lead.
To stay relevant to your customers, many leaders are rethinking their approach to CX at every touchpoint. Relying on CRM to drive sales simply won’t cut it anymore. You need to connect customer insights and data across your organization—sales, marketing, and service—to meet the moment.
Microsoft recently hosted Customer Experience Reimagined, a digital event on the latest trends shaping CX today—and tomorrow. Judson Althoff, Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer at Microsoft, shared his perspective about what CX leaders are facing, how they can energize employees through intuitive technology, and what it means to be a digitally connected enterprise with unified, enriched data.
