CXMB Series: 2019 Corporate Edition
COPC Inc., a global consulting firm that helps companies improve operations to transform the customer experience, and Execs In The Know have released the 2019 Corporate Edition of the Customer Experience Management Benchmark (CXMB) Series. The 15th biannual installment of the report, Corporate Insights: Understanding Corporate Strategies and Best Practices, has compiled relevant year-over-year insights, including the strategies, priorities, and day-to-day customer experience operations of some of the world’s largest and most successful global consumer brands.
This year’s research introduced various new questions to cover some of the most pressing issues concerning the CX industry, such as staffing, the utilization of “gig agents,” the deployment of universal agents, and corporate objectives of artificial intelligence deployment. The 2019 Consumer Edition also includes a section dedicated to comparing results with 2019’s Consumer Edition, released in September, as well as the latest Corporate Edition results. These unique comparisons give readers a one-of-a-kind look at the insights driving the decision-makers leading the CX industry.
