What is the Action Gap in CX?

What is the Action Gap in CX?

74%
of businesses are successfully

unlocking full information
value from their customers.

 

There is a CX challenge that affects 96% of businesses globally. 

 

This challenge is called the Action Gap.

Companies are failing to connect the dots between collecting customer feedback, analyzing feedback, and taking intelligent action that simultaneously closes the feedback loop and improves customer experience. 

The Action Gap is the space between customer insights and making actionable decisions. As we’ve said before, there is no action without learning and no learning without action.
But it's not all bad news. 

Quite frankly, many businesses are doing a pretty good job collecting and organizing vast amounts of customer feedback data. But extracting full value from this information - and turning insights into action - is another story altogether.


Let’s look at the facts:

  • An extensive study by PwC discovered that only 4% of businesses are successfully unlocking full information value to get closer to customers, building loyalty, and improving products and processes.
  • Two-thirds of businesses cannot extract full value from their information, and a quarter of these companies derive no benefit whatsoever. The rest? They simply lack the tools and skills to do anything - paralyzed with information.
  • Essentially, businesses are either not equipped to capture customer insights or unable to manage customer information effectively as it travels through the organization. Even with the best intentions, most detailed customer surveys, and the coolest of dashboards - things ultimately fall into the Action Gap.

We know that customer experience management solutions currently on the market are not designed to address the Action Gap. Listening to and understanding customers are well-addressed parts of the CX process - the real opportunity is to act upon customer feedback and turn intelligent insights into intelligent action. 

But first, companies need to rethink their customer experience strategy by:

  1. Shifting the focus toward ACTION
  2. Moving from CX Management to CUSTOMER ACTION MANAGEMENT

Are you one of the 96% of companies who are unable to gain full value from customer information - or one of the 4% who can?
