This episode is unique because of two reasons. It is the first episode in the new year and unlike before I have not one but two guests. In this episode, I`m talking about customer experience with Aga Szóstek and David Avrin.
From this episode, you will learn the following:
- what do customers, and clients want, need, and expect from us,
- what does it mean „design the experience”, –
- is technology a threat or an opportunity,
- is it about experiences or what people will remember from what they experienced,
- is it necessary to build a „user-experience first” culture?
