'There has been a lot to press about the General Motors failed ignition switch. There are many lessons to be learned about quality and manufacturing. But the most important lesson is about culture.

The best journeys answer questions that, in the beginning, you didn''t even think to ask. -Jeff Johnson I often get asked why I named this blog CX Journey and why I consider the customer experience a journey and not a destination.
