Discovering CX Transformation

CX is a means to an end, not a goal itself | EPS #50

Zanna van der Aa

Too many organizations treat Customer Experience (CX) as the end goal. But that’s where it often goes wrong. CX is not the goal — it’s a means to an end. A tool to drive concrete business outcomes like cost reduction, revenue growth, a better culture, and real purpose. 

In this podcast, we explain why so many CX teams struggle to prove their value and what you can do differently. We share the five business outcomes CX should always connect to and how you, as a CX professional, can make sure your work has real business impact. 

You’ll learn: 

  • Why CX should never be the end goal
  • How to link CX to cost reduction and revenue growth
  • How CX can drive continuous improvement and experimentation
  • Why culture and purpose matter — and how CX accelerates both
  • The biggest mistakes CX teams make (and how to avoid them)
  • How to start making CX relevant in your organization today


If you’re done with fluffy reports, endless NPS dashboards, and CX teams that don’t move the needle — this podcast is for you.
