Are XLAs Only About Sentiment Surveys?The short answer is no they are not. Gathering the sentiment and perception of customers (both internal and external) is of course an important aspect of measuring experience but properly designed and implemented XLAs are much more than just sentiment surveys – they are about using the appropriate sciences to identify how people feel abut what IT is doing, but then using other experience impacting data points to provide context to perception to enable IT to make experience improvements.

Where Should I Start My Experience Journey?Every experience journey is different and there is no right or wrong place to start. However, we recommend our introduction to experience course (Essence of Experience) is a great place to start to understand what true experience measures (XLAs) are and provides a practical hands on framework that can be used to start your experience project. Alternatively, please contact us for an Experience Assessment and we will provide you an understanding of what experiences you are staging now, work with you on your initial experience destination and provide practical steps in what you need to do to start improving employee experience.

How Can You Measure Experience?Experience is cumulative, so measuring experience can be achieved through measuring how people feel over a period of time. With our unique XLA framework we are able to scientifically measure individual and collective experience through many “moments in time” in order that customers can improve their IT services and basing success on the experience of the people using them. Measuring experience is both an art and a science and using our XLA structure and understanding the relevant experience sciences, we can scientifically show how you can gain “facts from feelings”.

What Is An Experience Level Agreement?An XLA (Experience Level Agreement) is an agreement (verbal, written, contracted or committed) between an IT department and their customers (both outsourced and internal) that is based upon how people feel about the services they are consuming. For too long the IT Service Management (ITSM) industry has based success of IT on largely irrelevant SLAs (Service Level Agreements) that do not always have an impact on experience. As IT moves into the Experience Economy, we need a new approach that focusses not just on Quality of Service (QoS) through Service Level Agreements (SLAs) but also on Quality of Experience (QoE) metrics. In other words, SLAs are important but only focus on what an IT department “do” whereas XLAs are additional metrics that focus on how people “feel”. Learn more about XLAs.

What Is An Experience Management Office?An XMO (Experience Management Office) are the team of people who are responsible for measuring, managing and improving employee experience through operationalising XLAs. An XMO often needs, new thinking, new processes, new technology and a relentless focus on improving employees experience through matching employee sentiment with impacting operational metrics and asking themselves what the current experience is (“So What?”) and then asking how they can improve this (“What Now?”). Learn More about XMO.
