To deliver this, McKinsey has invested heavily in Journey Pulse—its customer satisfaction data repository—to guide decisions on which customer journeys to improve, as well as Experience DNA, its innovative analytics tool that uses a company's customer interaction data to make predictions about customer satisfaction, helping the business target key customers. To help ensure the business is suited to deliver good experiences, McKinsey can deploy its Organizational Health Index, a diagnostic tool that provides 'recipes'—attributes of healthy companies—to enhance customer-centricity and employee engagement."
