3. What advice would you give to someone aspiring to lead customer experience in a major financial institution?
For someone leading customer experience in a financial institution, I would advise to first and foremost lead with the customer needs! That includes prioritising customer needs and preferences in decision-making processes, as well as developing a customer-centric mindset.
Furthermore, cultivating strong relationships with internal stakeholders, including senior executives, department heads, and frontline staff, is crucial to aligning customer experience initiatives with business objectives and ensuring organisational buy-in and support.
Embracing technology as an enabler of customer experience innovation and being constantly aware of the new emerging technologies and tools.
Leveraging data analytics, artificial intelligence, and digital channels to gain insights into customer behaviour, personalise interactions, and deliver frictionless experiences across multiple channels and devices.
Very importantly, establish key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics to measure the effectiveness of customer experience initiatives and monitor performance regularly.
In the ever-changing landscape of customer behaviours and technology solutions, being agile and adaptive has become a must. Embracing a mindset of continuous learning and experimentation, and be willing to iterate on strategies and tactics based on feedback and results.
Last but not least, leading by example and demonstrating strong leadership qualities can inspire the team to strive for excellence, embrace change, and continuously raise the bar for customer experience excellence.
