1. The document discusses using Net Promoter Score (NPS) to measure customer experience and discusses some common concerns with relying solely on NPS as a measurement.
2. It advocates developing a more comprehensive Voice of Customer program that incorporates both qualitative customer feedback data and quantitative customer behavior/transactional data to obtain a holistic view of the customer.
3. An effective NPS system is presented as a complex program that allows an organization to identify areas for continuous improvement, apply experimental design techniques, and support large-scale changes through understanding the root causes that drive customer experience.

My most frequent Net Promoter
Score conversations ….
1. “Single number doesn’t tell us anything.”
2. “I am measured on something I can’t influence.”
3. “I never score above 8.”
… and our story of why we need to change.

9. WHAT WE HAD VS. WHAT WE NEEDED
• Heavily controlled sampling that
introduced variability in data
• Long list of questions with shorter list of
answers
• Greater dominance of channel
experience
• Questions structure that introduced
bias
• Variable targets

11. CUSTOMER VOICE + CUSTOMER
BEHAVIOUR
“VOC PROGRAM NEEDS TO
BE A 360 DEGREE
PERSPECTIVE OF YOUR
CUSTOMERS.”
12. RESULT = A STABLE NPS WITH CLEAR AREAS
FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
• It now becomes an early warning
system of customer’s behaviour
• A rapid way to improve things
• Ability to apply experimental
design and track effectiveness
• Changing conversations about
the customer
14. AN NPS SYSTEM ALLOWS MULTI LEVELS
OF FOCUS
• PROVIDING CLARITY ON WHERE TO
CONCENTRATE THE EFFORTS
• CONTRACTING AREAS OF CONTINOUOS
IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH :
Voice of the customer is a human thing – as well as a system and as such is continually evolving
Therefore any VOC program needs to evolve over time – and be robust enough to flex in a relationship way
Why it sits in medi in our experience design framework – because it’s more than a number it’s the way our customers experience us -
WHAT IF ?
TOTAL CUSTOMER BASE WAS TO BE REDUCED BY THE TOTAL PERCENTAGE OF YOUR DETRACTORS & PASSIVES?
It’s only a fluffy number if you’ve built a fluffy program
[ Layers of insights produce scale of IMPROVEMENTS]
Building a system allowz you to use it at multiple levels with multiple stakeholders
[PRIORITISING AND SOLVING ROOT CAUSEPROBLEMS THATIS HOW WE DRIVE A STRONGER GROWTH BEYOND THESINGLE NUMBER]
