“In The CX Imperative, Fithian and Rosenberg identify THE problem that ails corporate America—the Great Distancing from customers—and offer the right solution: customer centricity and experience.”

The CX Imperative

A strategic guide to embedding customer experience into all aspects of your business.


The CX Imperative reveals five critical practices for changing customer centricity from a presentation-layer pursuit to a core value:

  • Developing empathy-based Insights about customers

  • Devising a Strategy to focus and align efforts

  • Drawing up Blueprints for creating winning experiences with intention

  • Creating an effective CX Operating Model

  • Maintaining a Culture of customer centricity

This strategic approach to CX is essential for companies to cut through the complexity of today’s operating environment and meet their customers’ needs for the benefit of all stakeholders.

“For CX to truly matter, it can’t live on the sidelines—it must be embedded into the DNA of the organization. The CX Imperative delivers a sharp, structured approach to making that a reality.”

—VINNY RINALDI, vice president, media & marketing technology, The Hershey Company
