SIMPLE brand #108 – Greg Kihlström – House of the Customer: Customer-First, Employee-Driven Transformation

In this week’s episode of the SIMPLE brand podcast, I talk with Greg Kihlström, author of House of the Customer: A blueprint for one-to-one, customer-first, employee-driven business transformation.

Greg’s a speaker, entrepreneur, and consultant to top companies on marketing technology, customer experience, and digital transformation initiatives.

He’s the host of the Agile Brand podcast.

And he’s a best-selling author of four customer experience books including House of the Customer.

Greg and I discuss:

  • What customer-centric brands do that are different than all the others
  • How customer expectations continue to rise
  • Too many brands misunderstand what it means to create a customer-first approach
  • Focusing on intrinsic and extrinsic values motivates employees to focus on the customer
  • Agile principles help create an employee-driven culture
  • The value of creating a culture of experimentation
  • Greg’s 4 North Star goals that brands should have for a customer-first experience
  • Where most brands get personalization wrong
  • The 7 elements of Greg’s “House of the Customer” blueprint
  • Greg’s take on who in an organization should own and govern the customer experience
