1. Experts advise managers to think “holistically” about customer experience and embark upon a transformative change programme to implement it. Stan argues that Customer Experience is being defined so “holistically” that it risks becoming a theory of everything. Royal Bank of Scotland thought atomistically instead and built a comprehensive experience programme from selective customer journeys and services delivered by the Bank. This pragmatic approach to managing customer experience proves highly effective and less disruptive. The case provides practical advice as to where to start the customer experience journey and which pitfalls to avoid.
