Description
A wide variety of leadership roles is involved in delivering an organisation’s customer experience. This includes CEOs and C-level executives, senior managers, managers and technical specialists in customer experience design and strategy, insight, operational delivery, customer facing employees and key support functions like procurement, data and IT.
The variety of roles involved in delivering customer experience means that embedding a service-focused culture and building leadership
capabilities across the organisation are core elements of service leadership.
This research examines leadership in a service context and sheds light on how to engage and influence people, mobilise resources, deliver strategies and embed a service-focused culture across the organisation and its value chain.
The research is based on interviews with senior executives and young leaders from 16 organisations in a wide range of sectors, a focus group with 5 senior executives and an online survey of 504 employees in organisations with more than 50 employees.
