The experience5 MapCX roadmap for introducing a CX program in medium to large enterprises builds on our framework of customer experience.
A customer experience strategy consists of the elements:

- Culture – what cultural realities are we dealing with?
- Organization – when are which resources needed to start and optimize a CX program?
- The VoC and VoE program – what tools do we use to listen to feedback from our customers and employees?
- Governance – what rules do we define for dealing with customer and employee feedback to turn data into insight, and insight into action?
- The resulting Customer and Employee Experience – how does it feel to be a customer or to be part of the team?

BEST PRACTICE BLUEPRINT ROADMAP
Based on decades of best practice, leading CX experts from around the world have teamed up with us to create an industry-specific roadmap for implementing a CX program in large complex organizations.
In around one hundred steps, we illuminate every aspect of a CX program that becomes important in the first few years after its launch. This allows the client to schedule personnel on time, reserve IT resources, provide budget, ensure support for corporate governance, and avoid unnecessary time and errors.
For complex companies with multiple country offices or business units, we specifically target each of these organizational units. In this way, the different requirements in heterogeneous processes are best met.
