Customer Experience Management: Consulting Expertise
Customer experience management (CXM) is no longer a luxury. It’s a core strategy for businesses that want to build trust, retain customers, and outperform competitors. Companies that invest in CXM consistently see higher revenue, longer customer lifecycles, and stronger brand advocacy.

Customer Insight
Great CX starts with deep insight. We turn customer feedback, behavioural data and qualitative research into practical, commercial recommendations that drive change and unlock growth.
Customer Experience Design
Design isn’t just about visuals—it’s about how people feel when they interact with your business. Our experience design practice creates services, processes and systems that are intuitive, human and commercially effective.
What Is Customer Experience Management?
Customer experience management is the intentional design, implementation and improvement of how customers interact with your organisation—from the very first touchpoint to long after they’ve made a purchase. It’s broader than customer service, encompassing systems, strategy, governance, and tools that work together to deliver a consistent, human experience.
A CXM program is not a one-off project. It’s a strategic shift towards customer-centric operations—where every decision, process and technology investment is made with the customer in mind.
Laying the Groundwork: Your CX Strategy
Every successful CX initiative begins with a clear strategy. We work with clients to develop a structured CX strategy that connects customer needs with business goals. This includes:
Customer Journey Mapping - Visualising the entire customer journey and identifying key moments, pain points, and opportunities for improvement.
Voice of Customer Programs - Capturing and acting on feedback across multiple channels to stay close to what customers value and where you’re falling short.
Experience Design Frameworks - Applying CX design principles to create consistent, on-brand experiences across every touchpoint
Performance Metrics and KPI - Establishing measurable goals such as Net Promoter Score (NPS), Customer Satisfaction (CSAT), and Customer Effort Score (CES) to track and improve CX outcomes.
Customer Experience Governance: Embedding Accountability
Customer experience governance is the framework that ensures your CX strategy is not just talked about—but actually executed. It defines ownership, aligns teams, and creates the rhythm for continuous improvement.
What Strong CX Governance Looks Like
Executive Sponsorship
Senior leaders are visibly responsible for CX outcomes, setting the tone and direction.
Cross-Functional Teams
CX spans marketing, product, sales, support, operations and more. Governance ensures all departments are connected and accountable.
Clear Decision-Making Protocols
Prioritising which CX initiatives to pursue and how to allocate resources.
Reporting and Communication
Keeping stakeholders informed and engaged with regular updates and performance reviews
CX Governance in Practice
Standardised processes for customer interactions
Training programs to build CX capability across teams
Integrated technology guidelines and usage protocols

Net Promoter Score (NPS) – gauges customer loyalty and likelihood to refer
Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) – tracks satisfaction with specific interactions

Root cause analysis for recurring issues
Experimentation and A/B testing for new CX initiatives
Stakeholder reporting to align teams and build accountability
