CX First

Most customer experience initiatives don't fail because the execution is bad. They fail because they're disconnected from everything else. Every executive claims to be "customer-centric." Few have built the strategy, processes, systems, and data discipline to prove it. While Journey maps sit in shared drives, NPS dashboards multiply, pain points keep on increasing. CX First is written to close that gap. This is the definitive playbook for leaders who treat customer experience as the operating model of the enterprise - the direct lineage from corporate strategy down through process, technology, and operations to the moment a customer makes a phone call, opens an app, or walks into a store. Drawing on two decades of enterprise transformation experience across telecommunications, FMCG/CPG, and consumer technology, Hitesh Bagai delivers an integrated system for engineering Customer/Consumer Experience from the boardroom to the front line.
