In today’s digital economy, Customer Experience (CX) has become a strategic priority, especially for IT leaders tasked with delivering seamless and engaging interactions. This has brought renewed focus to the term "Customer 360"—a comprehensive view of the customer profile aimed at providing personalized experiences at every stage of their purchasing journey, setting a brand apart.
According to a Gartner survey conducted between July and August 2024, 85% of customer service leaders will explore or test a generative conversational AI (GenAI) solution for customer-facing applications by 2025 —reflecting Gartner’s earlier projection that up to 80% of routine service interactions could soon be handled by AI. Among the leaders surveyed, 44% are exploring a GenAI-driven voicebot, 11% are testing this technology, and 5% already have it in place. The survey also found that customer service leaders have primary responsibility for identifying new AI opportunities, road mapping the evolution of AI activities and driving adoption. Yet, challenges such as skill gaps, disconnected tools, and siloed data continue to hinder progress.
These findings underscore a broad industry shift toward AI-powered customer engagement, as companies recognize the potential for conversational AI to streamline support and free human agents for more complex, high-value tasks.
To thrive in this new era, organizations must adopt CX 360—a holistic, data-driven approach to integrate technology, customer insights, and cross-departmental collaboration, thereby delivering meaningful experiences. Here’s how to make it happen:
1. Adopt a Customer-Centric Mindset
CIOs must shift their focus from delivering solutions quickly to delivering the right solutions. By incorporating human-centered design methodologies, IT leaders gain deeper insights into customer needs and can craft strategies that truly address them.
2. Foster a CX-Driven Culture
Building a culture that values design thinking, agility, and innovation is essential. Empower your teams to rethink processes and leverage data-driven insights to make decisions that enhance customer satisfaction.
3. Make CX a Shared Responsibility
High-performing organizations treat CX as a cross-functional priority at C-level. From marketing to sales, operations to IT, every department has a stake in delivering consistent, high-quality customer experiences.
4. Leverage AI to Understand and Anticipate Customer Needs
Gartner’s survey underscores the growing role of AI in CX, with sentiment analysis, predictive analytics, and conversational AI reshaping service delivery. Integrating AI-powered chatbots and voice assistants can provide real-time, personalized support at scale.
5. Unify Customer Data
A 360-degree view of the customer starts with integrating data across platforms, generating actionable insights that enhance personalization. From primary data to AI-optimized customer profiles, this unified approach drives better decision-making and improved services.
6. Measure What Truly Matters
Go beyond traditional metrics like Net Promoter Score (NPS). Consider tools such as Customer Effort Scores and AI-powered sentiment analysis to capture immediate feedback and monitor customer success at each stage of the journey. By continually refining these metrics, organizations can address pain points before they escalate.
