Target Audience: Initial outreach is typically from middle or upper management, initiated at the request of an executive or a group of executives. COOs, CMOs, VP of marketing or equivalent are often key initiators. Stakeholders: Driven from the top down, senior executives from the C suite to group and divisional leaders play a key role in enabling customer experience. Marketing is also taking an increased role, with IT spend shifting to the business away from IT in many organizations. This said, the CIO and IT are often key stakeholders because IT touches every part of a large organization. Even more importantly, customer experience is usually enabled by and drives the creation of IT-related, digitally-driven technologies and services. Marketing is also a key stakeholder in many cases. More generally, the stakeholders include all employees in organizations that need to change the way that they interact with their customers.
