Community Engagement

We continue to see a decrease in customer trust and feedback, especially in the government space. I'm curious to learn how other organizations approach community engagement surveys. How often do you conduct them, what sample sizes do you typically aim for vs the size of your community, and what types of questions or themes do you focus on? I'm especially interested in understanding how you balance getting meaningful feedback with avoiding survey fatigue. We seem to be surveying our residents more than other local municipalities, and I don’t know if we are gaining any value fromt that.

Replacing FOMO with strategic thinking

Customer experience can feel like a non-stop race to keep up with new ideas. But rushing into every new trend often leads to wasted effort and no real gain. 🏃‍♀️Instead of chasing every shiny new thing, let's focus on smart, strategic thinking. It’s about knowing what truly helps your customers and sticking to it. 🎯Understand your customer's real needs. Pick innovations that actually fit your business. Measure what works, and ditch what doesn't.What's one "must-have" CX trend you've seen fizzle out quickly? Share your thoughts below! 👇Find out more: https://cxm.world/customer-experience/replacing-fomo-with-strategic-thinking-tackling-the-rise-of-rapid-innovation-in-cx/Credit to Mr Matt Trickett for this article together!

Seeking Advice: Declining Survey Response Rates & Link Trust

Hi everyone,I'm hoping to tap into the collective wisdom of this community regarding a challenge I'm facing with our customer experience program.We've noticed a drop in our survey response rates year-over-year, even though key factors like our target audience, survey length, timing, and incentives haven't significantly changed.One potential factor I'm considering is whether there's a growing general distrust among recipients about clicking on links in emails, perhaps due to increased awareness of phishing and security concerns. We're definitely not phishing, but it's possible people are becoming more cautious overall. ​@JamesScutt and I are curious to know: Are others experiencing similar declines in survey response rates? Do you suspect link distrust is playing a role? What strategies or alternative methods (beyond standard email links) have you found effective for boosting response rates? (e.g., Has anyone had success with vanity URLs, short links, QR codes in emails, embedding the f

2x2 matrix for framing digital experiences-thoughts?

This is a 2x2 matrix describing “flavors” of digital CX based on high and low human involvement, and digital vs. physical media. (Thanks to ​@EdenHaha for an illuminating recent conversation about digital experiences!) I think it could be useful for framing customer journeys and personas, but am wondering how much this aligns with other CX practitioners. (We are a national library that delivers the vast majority of our experience virtually.) I’m curious to see your thoughts!

XM methodology - looking for love?

Companies and organizations use different methodologies and frameworks to guide and structure the way they work. Although some are industry specific, most share common aims like wanting to increase efficiency & consistency, improve the quality of their outputs or having to meet certain regulatory requirements to name just a few. Some of these resonate strongly with the Client Centric philosophy like Service Management as defined by the ITIL framework which I've championed for example. But I'm curious to the thoughts and experiences of the Thought Leaders here!With which industry best practices or business frameworks does the XM methodology work best with in your view?

NEW XM Institute Research: The State of Customer Experience Management, 2025

TL;DR: This report looks at how companies are handling customer experience (CX), focusing on what their CX teams do, what's stopping them from getting better, and how they're using AI.Key points:Most companies aren't that great at CX yet, with many just starting to get their act together.     Companies that do CX well tend to have bosses who care about it and are willing to spend money on it.     A lot of CX teams find it hard to show that what they're doing is actually making the company money.     AI is becoming a big deal in CX, with loads of companies using it for things like chatbots.    The full content is about a 5-minute read. (You must be logged in to download this research)How is your company measuring the success of its CX program?

CX insights from current events: we should be paying attention!

Cross-posting here for additional reach (and thanks to ​@AlonsoC for the suggestion!One of the things I’ve learned in my career is that it’s often valuable to separate the message from the messenger. Regardless of what you think of Elon Musk, he recently gave a US federal agency’s customer experience survey as an example of waste; seemingly, not so much due to the cost as due to the fact that it wasn’t used to identify tangible business insight or, in his words, to create “feedback loops.”In our practice at the National Library of Medicine, we’ve known from the jump that we’re not gathering customer feedback because it’s interesting or for its own sake, but to identify business improvements that we can implement, test, and validate. It’s essential for building credibility and underscoring the value of what we do. Elon Musk was shocked by the amount of waste and fraud found by DOGE #foxnews #shorts #elonmusk
