CX in 2022: 5 Trends You Need to be Aware of This Year

It’s no secret that customer experience (CX) is a major point of differentiation between organisations.

“One in three consumers (32%) say they will walk away from a brand they love after just one bad experience,” according to PwC’s 2018 consumer intelligence report that surveyed 15,000 people from 12 nations.

Besides, the definition of a ‘first-class CX’ evolves constantly, and organisations need to similarly adapt, tweak  and innovate their CX program to match changing needs and preferences.

With that in mind, here are some of the major trends that will define CX in 2022.

Privacy and trust-by-design

With governments around the globe introducing stringent privacy laws, all companies now have a baseline to work from. Nigeria is no exception.

On 25th January 2019, the National Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) was issued in accordance with section 6 (a) and (c) of the National Information Technology Development Agency Act 2007 (‘NITDA Act’) in recognition that a lot of public and private bodies have migrated their respective businesses and information systems online.

But simply meeting those basic requirements won’t be enough for customers who are increasingly concerned about how their personal data is used and stored.

Organisations shouldn’t just view customer privacy as a legal imperative, but also as an ethical priority. That means adopting a privacy-first approach for their business operations including product management, supply chain networks, software partner choices, CX programs, and workplace culture.

Customers will switch to brands that offer more privacy and take data security extra seriously.

They would even pay a premium for offerings from such brands. This is already starting to be true and will only get stronger as a trend.

Additionally, customers will be increasingly drawn to brands that demonstrate trustworthiness through focus on inclusive and sustainable growth, responsible sourcing practises, thoughtful waste management, and fair wages, among other things.

Self-service becomes increasingly critical

Today’s customer prefers to be in control of their interactions with companies. Whether it’s billing, commerce, or account management, customers would rather handle it themselves than have to deal with a number of people within the organisation.

And while self-service has long been in play in the B2C space, it’s growing in importance in the B2B segments too.

It’s also important for organisations to think about how they deliver self-service functions.

Zero UI, for instance, is gaining popularity. Organisations need to understand invisible user interfaces that are activated by voice, gestures, and movements.

While these technologies may not be as prevalent in Nigeria as they are in more developed markets, it’s still important that organisations work on them now and not risk getting left behind.

Unified technology platforms come to the fore

Creating seamless customer experiences depends to a huge extent on how well your internal functions and teams can converge and collaborate during every customer touch-point. That internal collaboration can be made a great deal smoother through the use of unified CX technology platforms that blend organisational functions and show the entirety of each customer’s story.

Unified platforms help your organisation avoid wasting time trying to integrate disparate pieces of software and instead bring together data from across the organisation for various needs such as cross-referencing customer context, performing automation, and coaching employees.

Reliability matters

With so many areas of everyday Nigerian life plagued by unreliability, customers are desperate for reliable experiences. In fact, consistently good experiences will probably win you more favour than the odd exceptional experience. That’s not to say organisations shouldn’t try out fancy ideas and experiences from time to time. But they should only do so if they have the basics firmly in place.

A birthday gift from a bank is meaningless if you can’t move your money around when you direly need to.

Personalisation will pay off

While there was a time when simply including a customer’s name on a piece of communication counted as personalisation, that’s no longer the case.

Today, personalisation is about reaching customers with the right message on the right platform at the right time.

Of course, achieving that level of personalisation requires data. That means organisations have to balance the usefulness of personalisation with the responsibility of upholding customer privacy. For brands with an international presence especially, this means having a firm grasp of the technological and regulatory environments they operate in.

As these trends may indicate, CX leaders and program managers have a tricky year ahead, with both technology and customer expectations evolving alongside the pandemic itself. The best attitude to have is a mix of flexibility and pragmatism.
