How can we set expectations …
… and meet those expectations?
What do your target customers expect?
What experience do they perceive?
What experience do you intend to deliver?

The need for brand and CX convergence will challenge current operating models
› Who will own CX and brand? Firms will pursue divergent models for
brand and CX leadership. Chief Strategy Officers will emerge to lead
both functions in many companies.
› How will firms become more responsive? Data will be liberally
shared to get customers’ feedback into the hands of front line
employees who can act upon it.
› What skill sets will be required? The future belongs to teams that
blend creative, digital, and analytical skill sets with good storytelling
skills to deliver individualized, emotional, and continuous experiences.
