This document discusses the importance of customer experience and provides an overview of key concepts. It defines customer experience as how customers perceive their interactions with a company. Success requires following a four-phased path from repairing issues to differentiating through experiences. Six disciplines are identified to consistently deliver the right customer experience: customer understanding, strategy, culture, governance, design, and measurement. The business case is that better customer experience can drive higher revenues and lower expenses.

The Origin of Customer Experience Pine and Gilmore are credited with describing the experience economy, the next economy following the agrarian economy, the industrial economy, and the most recent service economy. They argued businesses must orchestrate memorable events for their customers, and that memory itself becomes the product — the "experience". More advanced experience businesses can begin charging for the value of the "transformation" that an experience offers. This is a natural progression in the value added by the business over and above its inputs.
