Summary

What if your most persistent customer complaint wasn't a flaw to be fixed, but a key that could unlock an entirely new business model? Agility requires not just the ability to pivot, but the organizational courage to act on customer insights—even when those insights challenge your most fundamental business assumptions. It’s about being willing to dismantle something that works in order to build something that works better. Today, we're going to talk about CX that pays off and how both achieving and demonstrating ROI is key to becoming a truly insights-driven organization. We'll explore how a major brand listened to a difficult truth from its customers and completely transformed its marketplace strategy, turning a major pain point into a massive competitive advantage. And we’re doing it live from Las Vegas at the Medallia Experience 2026 event here at the Wynn Resort.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Courtney Owumi, VP of Consumer Experience and Membership Engagement at Shipt.
