The challenge of personalising the customer experience

It's not news that customer experience is more relevant and important today than ever before. The survey results from KPMG's 2018 CEO Outlook Survey proves all our thoughts on the subject. It contains numerous interesting statistics and analysis, none more so than the common challenge of personalising the customer experience. 

I'm sure for many CEOs, they'll take some comfort from knowing that they are not alone in attempting to deliver on the holy grail of "the experience." Today brings many more challenges that CEOs have not had to face in years past. With three very different generations - millennials, Gen X and Baby Boomers, it's become an extreme challenge to understand their wants and needs. If a company is not able to deliver to these generations based on their own wants and needs, their level of success greatly diminishes. The survey found that 48% of UK CEOs "struggle to understand how the needs of millennial customers differ from those of other generations." 

Have human resource and global mobility teams begun to adapt and change their policies and programs to deliver a great customer experience to their own employees, both new talent as well as current talent?
