OKRs in CX Management with Sophie Hedestad

In the latest episode of the CX Superheroes, Christopher Brooks, host and MD of Lexden CX speaks with Sophie Hedestad, founder of NOQX.

We came across Sophie in an article on the power of OKRs in customer experience, and wanted to learn more. In this episode we get to understand what OKR (Objective and Key Results) are, and why they are becoming more important than KPIs for progressive companies to manage performance.

Sophie shares the value of OKRs, and explains how they can help organisations meaningfully track progress and localise where more attention is needed.  In discussion, we understand how organisation and structure are needed to optimise OKR’s and Sophie introduces us to a technology solution which NOQX have been developing t simplify the management within large (and smaller) organisations.

Doing B2B Better with Jim Tincher

Series 12 of the CX superheroes podcast series begins with an industry legend. There are few people in CX you’d want to spend time with more than Jim Tincher. Our excitement soared when Jim agreed to be a featured author in the Lexden CX Book Club, sharing the ‘making of’ ‘Do B2B Better.’ This book captures Jim’s learnings, openly addressing both failures and successes. In fact, our discussion highlights how earlier failures (or lessons) have informed his later and more frequent successes.

There are few books dedicated to the art of B2B CX, and as a global B2B CX practitioner, our host Christopher Brooks, engages in an informed and interrogative discussion on the topic.

While we avoid major book spoilers, our narrative closely aligns with Jim’s influences and inspiration for ‘Do B2B Better.’ Jim might just be the nicest guy in CX. Discover firsthand why he radiates such positive energy.

People before Profits with Annette Franz

There is one content producer in the CX Community we have wanted to have as a guest for some time; Annette Franz. As a consultant, author, trainer and mentor Annette has spent a slice of her career working with clients to improve outcomes for their customers, colleagues and communities. This was a key part of our topic of this CX Superhero podcast episode. In conversation with Lexden’s Christopher Brooks, Annette shares her journey through CX and why putting people at the heart of a CX transformation is essential to succeed.

This is just one of the insightful and brilliantly written chapters from Annette’s latest business book, ‘Built to Win’. The discussion covers the origins of the book, its novel structure and taps into some of the themes which Annette brings to life with examples and practice templates.

To condense the highlights from Annette’s impressive career into a short podcast isn’t possible, but we thank her for her generosity to share so much in the time we did have. We hope you as inspired as we are.
