Management to Customer
Experience Management”

10. We believe
Companies that are loved, win

11. We believe
Delight isn’t just a tagline.
It’s the bottom line.

12. Benefits of positive experiences

19. “Yes, delight. A squishy, subjective, hard-to-pin-down term.
So daringly unquantifiable, so proudly immeasurable. And
now, suddenly, all the rage in data-driven Silicon Valley.”
“In the surest sign that delight may be on the cusp of morphing
from insurgent idea to overused buzzword, Microsoft and Dell
have embraced it. It's the corporate equivalent of parents joining
Facebook, making it instantly uncool.”
“Hold the eye rolls, however, because underneath its trendiness
and the suspicion that it's just some new marketing babble, the
talk of delight signals a radical shift in the way Silicon Valley
creates products.”

20. Back to Reality
Back to Reality (and it can bite)

21. We believe
Your Website is not a Project

22. “Insanity is redesigning a
website over and over
again but expecting
different results”

23. Death by Redesign
