Digital customer experience has never been more important. The pandemic accelerated e-commerce, AI and automation, and digital transformation by 10 years. What most businesses still aren’t prepared for however, is how to think beyond digital tools and platforms to design intuitive digital experiences that inspire human engagement in every touch point across the CX journey.
That’s what X: The Experience When Business Meets Design set out to do. It was designed to help “imagineers” image a unified customer journey that enchanted digital-first customers. This book and the CX and design principles it teaches, is more relevant today than when it originally published.
Now, the thoughtful folks at GetAbstract have you covered if you’re working in any related field to experience, design, CX, UX, marketing, branding, service design, etc.
They assembled a summarized version for busy executives and entrepreneurs. And, the text and audio version of X: The Experience When Business Meets Design is available now.
