Although published in October and also the second piece by Anna Papachristos in this week's CX Buzz; we thought this interview piece on "What's Next in the CX Evolution" was just too good to pass up. Papachristos interviews four of the industry's best analysts including; Bruce Temkin, Ray Wang, Jeanne Bliss, Ed Thompson and gets their thoughts on the future of CX.
