The Customer Experience Fiasco

The authors skillfully weaved a tale that is both believable and compelling, allowing the reader to enjoy the story at face value. Underneath this premise of a woven tale is the underlying goal of conveying a message – that the customer experience is vital to maintaining a successful business. The follow-up after the fable is a great way to conclude the novel as well, highlighting different principles and steps that were crucial to the fable success story and are paramount to an effective customer experience strategy. The story is simple and easy to read – a great way to convey the subject.

Easy reading is very deceptive when it comes to this novel because the fable belittles the complexity of customer experience methodology. The story is romanticized without the typical setbacks, distractions, and pitfalls that would befall a project throughout its lifetime. There is also a clear lack of secondary perspective to provide deeper understanding of how the fiasco is viewed by different levels of management. Most notably, the principles and steps are not clearly portrayed in the story, leaving the reader to questions whether any of the authors’ points are truly valid. For a more complete view of customer experience we recommend the Senteo Case Studies and Customer Experience Strategy.
