This post celebrates Service Design Day and everyone who’s working to create our new normal. While walking across the Millennium Bridge in London a few years ago, I noticed a group of people standing around and looking down curiously at a man who was laying at their feet. My first thought was concern: Is this man alright? Is he sick? Does he need help?

Business as usual is anything but usual today. How things will change in the “new normal” and what you can do to manage it is almost anyone’s guess. However, if you can open your mind to trying new things other than what you normally would do, you might discover the magic trick that makes it all work well for managing your customer behavior.

Depending on which news outlets you follow, you may be under the impression that traditional brick-and-mortar contact centers won’t survive the pandemic. Undoubtedly, the contact center as we know it will change. But there are far too many sunken costs and entrenched values to make such a sudden change. A lot has changed in the past few months but there should be no question that contact centers will return to their physical offices in some shape or form once the pandemic abates.

When we meet a new person, we don’t really make a split-second decision whether we would want to see them again. We do rounds judging them on their appearance, their interests, the way they speak, or the occupation they hold and then make our decision. . Oftentimes, we would not want to see them again while sometimes, we would take interest and build a relationship with the person.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

The Good Samaritan is a story of kindness widely known across all faiths, not just those anchored to the New Testament.

But, like so many true entrepreneurs, he also sees an opportunity: “The cool thing about this crisis is that it has forced behavioral change upon us in positive ways: all of us were forced into new habits and we had
