This is what Forrester is predicting. Not just any pip squeak research company. When a CX authority says something like that, you must sit up and pay attention.
Ask yourself why this might be the case, and quickly, you will realise many CX initiatives are not adequately connected to delivering business benefits. Have you secured your CX efforts to win the triple crown (simultaneously growing revenues, reducing costs, and improving service)?
If you haven’t, you may become that one in five.
Here’s some of the latest research from CX authorities (with several interesting data points).
