The Experience-ledGrowth Paradigm
What is Experience-led Growth?
Experience-led Growth (XLG) is a method of growth leadership that focuses on optimizing for the quality of experiences and the achievement of actual customer outcomes. XLG strives to bring together the organization and its ecosystem to conceptualize, create, orchestrate, deliver, and evolve experiences as the primary offering. It prioritizes emotions, experiences, and outcomes, over engagement alone. It also establishes technology as the core driver of organizational and customer success.
It is governed by the XLG manifesto found below.
