‘Customer Experience & User Experience are united by the
common goal of customer success’.

CX has a broader scope in designing every interaction a
customer has with a brand’.

customer-centric culture to do this right. Creating a best-of-
breed CX is much broader and deeper than you think’.

disciplines. This is a challenge for most organizations.

across the organization to infuse a culture of customer-first.

Mission: For all MGM resorts - Entertain The Human Race.
‘We also learned that creating great experiences that inspire joy
& amazement don’t just happen when you show up at a hotel.
We had to define consistent service standards for 27 unique
resort brands, train 77,000 employees & we get our leaders to
endorse & support the CX message & accountability’.

to remember how they can
create defining CX
moments for our guests’.
14. Rob Sherrell
VP Global CX Lead
North Highland
‘We need to think about evolving from Customer Experience to
Human Experience - CX to HX. 89% of corps are now focused
on differentiation via CX. Great CX will become table stakes’.
‘HX is an organizations’ ability to connect to & meet higher level
human needs - to move from purely commercial intent to
human commitment. This will be competition based on
corporate humanity’.
‘Delivering HX versus CX will require organizations to be
purposeful, cognitive, adaptive & conscious, in addition to
delivering great CX that is easy, relevant and orchestrated’.

create, manage & optimize’.
‘This will require new thinking about the components of an
experience, a potential shift from products to services & new
ways of measuring the experience. It is going to take CX to the
next level & it will become more complex to integrate’.
‘IoT should be looked at as a way to drive innovation &
competitive advantage’.
