The definition of this position of a manager in the Russian language in general does not yet exist, as well as her own, in no other company known to me. So to say that this is the director for this and that, does not work. In English, it sounds like the
Chief Experience Officer (
cr. CXO ). Let's see.
In most companies, its functions are spread over various positions, but industry leaders, as always, are two steps ahead of the rest of the world and have been holding such specialists for several years. On the question of the meaning of this term, the Russian part of
Vicki is silent, the English-speaking one quite concisely
mentions , and the Chinese, as always, accurately duplicate the English-speaking one.
It is not hard to guess that
CXO is one of the newest management positions, the so-called
C-level , along with the
CEO ,
CMO and others.
CXO is responsible for the experience of interaction in the organization. With regard to which let a small lyrical digression.
')
Interaction experience (
English. User experience, UX ) - this is the feeling that arises from a person in direct interaction with objects of the surrounding world. In a narrower sense, the interaction experience characterizes a person’s personal perception of the functional and emotional characteristics of a product or service in use.

The importance of industry
interaction experience is strongly promoted by
Jesse James Garrett - one of the founders of the consulting firm
Adaptive Path . In his book
, Elements of Interaction Experience (by the
way, a very, very good, well-written and readable book ), he says that during product development, its creators pay maximum attention to what it does. Interaction experience is another, often ignored part of the equation: often how a product works separates success from failure.
The interaction experience concerns not how the product functions
“inside” (although this is sometimes of great importance).
The interaction experience is related to how the device works
“outside” when a person comes into contact with it and uses it.
The whole process of developing
interaction experience requires that no aspect of the user's communication with your brainchild (application, site, device, etc.) should arise by chance, without your conscious and explicit decision. This means that at each stage of development it is necessary to understand the user's expectations and take into account any of his possible actions.
“A design that ignores people is completely rightly ignored by people ..”
Highlight the main functions of the CXO:- corporate management of user interaction strategies,
- management of software and hardware development,
- creative reviews and development of conceptual models,
- positioning and protection of the company's intellectual property.
To become a good CXO you need:- understand user, business and technology,
- know how a product should develop in order to better fulfill its purpose,
- stimulate and develop the activity of the development team aimed at anticipating user requests.
Thus, the character
CXO , is a kind of
rock star of the company, providing the very magical
experience of interaction . Boardrooms have not had time to get used to these managers, and many people holding such positions are real pioneers of their work, occupying the
CXO chairs
for only a few years. Each of them is responsible for the overall customer experience of the company and its products and services.
Who could be the perfect CXO?The most outstanding is the unforgettable
Steve Jobs . Today, perhaps,
Elon Musk from
Tesla Motors .
The views of the business community on the feasibility of introducing the
CXO post
are divided.

Some believe that any company must have a staff member of the
C-class responsible for supervising and maintaining holistic interaction with customers. Although they note that this is for the most part valid for companies that consider a
bit of a brand as their primary product as their strategic product.
Others express opinions, primarily related to the apparent
multiplication of entities . In particular, the
Wharton School of Business called the increase in the number of
C-grade posts “inflation of posts .
”PS
At first glance, it seems that the introduction of an additional managerial position, with a fairly significant salary, is inexpedient. But with the increasing complexity of product development and the full
customer orientation of the CXO position,
we will come to many companies, skeptics, as always, will shout the loudest
“FOR!” , And we all as consumers will benefit from it.
