CHICAGO, Jan. 9, 2020 /CNW/ -- Each year, HGS publishes a list of top customer experience (CX) trends—an on-the-ground forecast of what consumers are demanding in terms of their customer service experiences, and what brands have to deliver in order to stay competitive in the new year. HGS is honored to build this list in partnership with an elite group of industry thought leaders for this year's predictions. The participating brands, analysts, and consultants who contributed their insights and experiences to this year's panel include: Ember Group, DXL Big+Tall Men's Apparel, NelsonHall, Ryan Advisory, Execs in the Know, Frost & Sullivan, HFS Research, and Funai Corporation.
