Ep. 67 - Insights 11 - How CX metrics can hide a broken customer experience


Listen Later

In this Insights episode, Jochem van der Veer challenges the common belief that improving customer experience requires more data, dashboards, and AI, revealing instead how a lack of shared context across teams leads to misaligned decisions. While organizations optimize performance using advanced analytics and AI-driven insights, they often operate on different versions of reality, creating fragmented customer journeys and inconsistent outcomes. As AI accelerates decision-making at scale, this misalignment becomes a critical risk, making shared context-not more data-the true foundation for effective customer experience strategy.


In this video:

  • Why fragmented context-not lack of data-is the real bottleneck in CX
  • How teams create “local truths” that distort decision-making
  • What AI actually does when your underlying structure is misaligned
  • Why defining where signals live in the journey changes everything
  • How shared context turns metrics into meaningful, connected insight
  • When optimization becomes dangerous because the problem isn’t real


If every team is right-but the outcome is wrong-what reality is your organization actually operating in?
