Feeling threatened by an upstart competitor -- or the looming possibility of one? Don't fight back using the same CX practices that got you where you are, urges our guest Martin White.
Before he founded his consulting firm Blackwood86, Martin White was CMO at MS Amlin, and before that he held executive and leadership roles in the financial services space at Experian, Morgan Stanley, GE Money, American Express, MBNA, and more. Customer experience was often part of his remit in those roles, so we wanted to get his thoughts on where CX should fit within organizations, and the special challenges facing marketers and CX leaders at B2B companies.
Martin and Richard also talked about the interplay between incumbent businesses and their challengers. The changes within financial services in recent years are familiar to Martin, and offer lessons for CX leaders in any industry where incumbency both confers a benefit and puts companies at risk of disruption – in other words, almost all industries.
