They will fearlessly share with you what works...and what doesn't work as we debunk this role, why it's not about "Kumbaya", but rather how the Chief Customer Officer is acting as the human duct tape of the organization - uniting companies to earn the right to customer-driven growth. Hosted by Jeanne Bliss, five time Chief Customer Officer and author of "Would You Do That To Your Mother?" and "Chief Customer Officer 2.0." Jeanne is joined by CCOs around the world as they share how they gain traction in transforming their business, leaders and operations.

What I know is that customer experience is floundering. We are focusing on the mechanics instead of the meaning of the work. At the end of the day, customer experience is about leading. It's about leadership. It's about finding a way to guide your people and your organization to rise to show up as a different kind of company in the marketplace. Customer experience does not belong in a silo.
What I know is that everybody needs a little pixie dust. When you do things that are unexpected for your customers, they remember you and it bonds you to them. So I want to share some of my favorite pixie dust moments back from my days at Lands' End .
What I know is that goal mapping not journey mapping is a new way of leading, uniting your organization and earning the right to customer driven-growth. Goal mapping will drive you to reflect on new customer-driven KPIs. Thinking about: how will you operationally measure the outcome metrics that will earn their goals? Not just asking them how we did or how satisfied they are. And also recognizing in a B2B standpoint, what are you doing to help them achieve their goals?
A goal map starts with the goals your customer wants to achieve and shifts your KPIs. By measuring the things that your customer cares about, it transforms how you do work. Find the show notes and more information at customerbliss.com/whatiknow.
Principles shouldn't just be words on a wall. They should be used to lead . In this episode, I share a powerful example from my time at Land's End.
