How many more renewal cycles will your CX roadmap survive?
Most CX leaders don’t lose years because their modernization vision is flawed.
They lose years because the organization can’t execute before the next renewal hits.
Modernization dies in the gap between intention and timing — and I help leaders close that gap.
The Cycle That's Draining Your Progress
Every leader I interviewed said some version of the same thing:
"We got too close to renewal...so we just renewed."
"It's taken almost two years to get a chatbot deployed."
"We were trying to build a new system for four years - no lift-off."
This isn't failure. This is the predictable outcome of a system that rewards maintenance but punishes modernization.
Here's the real cycle I see inside financial services:
- Mult-year contracts with evaluation windows that always arrive too late
- Projects that start after budget season, not before
- Fragmented teams with competing priorities
- Compliance reviews that stretch timelines until they crack
- Technitiatives that get stuck between "old school IT" and "new expectations"
- Vendors who don't proactively bring new opportunities - so everything stalls
Modernization doesn't fail because of ideas. It fails because no one owns the modernization clock.
The Real Blockers (And It's Not Your Tech)
Leaders often tell me their CX modernization is stuck because the technology isn't ready
Siloed teams marching in different directions
"We need somebody to unify them under a common vision."
Internal tech teams that aren't equipped for what's next
"A lot of them are very old school."
Renewal cycles that streamroll strategy
"We get too close to the contract renewal and just renew as-is."
Vendor sprawl, scattered systems, and integrations take years
When leaders are evalutating 10-15 vendors at once, or running chatbots in parrallel for two years, it's not a tech issue - it's an execution model issues.
Where I Come In
I help CX and operations leaders in financial services:
- Identify the true blockers slowing or stalling modernization
- Break the silo cycle and create a unified modernization mandate
- Evaluate vendors early (not 45 days before renewal)
- Build timing models that actually survive annual budgeting
- Accelerate decision-making inside regulated, complex organizations
- Prioritize modernization steps that produce real operational lift
