65% of leaders believe that it’s not up to them to tackle customer centricity - Interview with Alison Esse of The Storytellers

Today’s interview is with Alison Esse, Co-founder and Director of The Storytellers, a culture change consultancy, and pioneers of storytelling in business. Alison joins me today to talk about a new piece of research that they have recently completed: 'Two Years' Warning: The Customer Centricity Crisis’, which explores the mindsets that exist around customer centricity in the world's largest organisations and also differences in attitudes and beliefs between leaders and employees. This interview follows on from my recent interview – How TV helped create an engaging and effective millenial shopping experience – Interview with Anthony Soohoo of Dot & Bo – and is number 179 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders that are doing great things, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to their customers.

An ongoing series of interviews where I, Adrian Swinscoe, interview leading entrepreneurs, leaders and thought leaders about how to deliver stand out customer experience and service. Essentially, I'm looking for practical clues that will help you build a business that both customers and employees love. Topics covered in the interviews include customer service, experience and engagement, employee experience and engagement, technology, adaptable and responsive organizations, high-performing teams and all such related issues.
