Not every organization is ready

We've learned that Customer Experience Design succeeds when certain conditions are in place—and struggles when they're not. This isn't about capability or intelligence. It's about context.

Before we engage, we evaluate four dimensions. You can too.

The Four Dimensions

What we look for

1. Systems Thinking

Does your organization see problems as connected, or isolated?

  • Ready: "When intake breaks, it ripples through everything downstream."
  • Not ready: "That's a sales problem, not an operations problem."

2. Leadership Engagement

Will leadership participate directly, or delegate and disappear?

  • Ready: Leaders who want to see reality, even when it's uncomfortable.
  • Not ready: "Just fix it and let me know when you're done."

3. Focus Capacity

Can you commit to one value stream, or is everything urgent?

  • Ready: "We'll prioritize this engagement for the next 2-3 weeks."
  • Not ready: "Can we do this in parallel with our five other initiatives?"

4. Authority to Act

Can you implement changes, or does everything require external approval?

  • Ready: Decision-makers are in the room and can commit.
  • Not ready: "We'll need to run this by corporate first."

Take the formal assessment

Our Readiness Assessment takes about 5 minutes and evaluates these four dimensions in more depth. At the end, you'll get a clear picture of where you stand—and whether a conversation makes sense.

No sales pitch. Just clarity.
