Our perspective

Small technology frustrations add up. Why leaders now treat them as an early warning about how well the business is running.

-
Why Your DEX Partner Is the Difference Between Insight and Outcomes
Choosing a platform is half the decision. The partner beside you shapes whether insight turns into outcomes.
The questions DEX leaders are asking right now. Answered.
Big questions deserve better than a vendor slide deck. Here’s what we’re answering first, in the open, from inside real enterprise DEX programs.
- 01
What is the future of DEX?
Where the discipline goes once every enterprise has the data, and what separates the programs that compound from the ones that stall.
- 02
AI and DEX: what changes, and what is hype?
Which parts of the employee experience AI can run on its own today, which still need a practitioner, and how to tell the difference.
- 03
How do you prove DEX value to a CFO?
The measures that survive a finance review: tickets, licences, time, retention, and the ones that don’t.
- 04
Who should own DEX inside the enterprise?
Service desk, workplace, operations or someone new. The ownership models we see working, and the one that never does.
- 05
Why do most DEX dashboards never turn into action?
The gap between seeing a problem and fixing it at scale, and how automation and governance close it.
- 06
How do personal IT agents change the service desk?
What happens to tickets, triage and the people who handle them when employees get an agent of their own.
- 07
What does a DEX operating model look like at scale?
Roles, rhythms and decision rights for a program that has to work across regions, business units and vendors.
- 08
How does DEX change security, onboarding and M&A?
Three places where experience data is already making decisions faster, and how to put it to work there.
- 09
How do you keep a DEX program improving after year one?
Why value flattens after the first fixes, and the practices that keep it climbing.
