Skip to minute 8:50 to hear how Ryan structures his CX programs:
“You’ve got to have some kind of executive steering committee, which we established right away. You’ve got to have some sort of cross-functional leadership team in play. Then over time, what we developed was what we call a catalyst network. The catalyst network is a group of people that are on the ground… So by having all three levels, if you will, of governance, it really gives you a structured program to carry forward.”
