Conclusion....................................................................................................................................................321 accepted information base. A body of knowledge thus serves as an independent, authoritative
resource for a field. It is with great pride that the Customer Experience Professionals Association
References and Additional Resources...........................................................................................323 publishes the first edition of The CXPA CX Book of Knowledge to serve as the official body of
knowledge publication for the CX community.

The seeds of the CXPA CX Book of Knowledge were planted with job analysis studies conducted
by CXPA in 2013 and 2020. These studies, led by a professional psychometric firm and overseen
by a panel of international CX Experts, gathered detailed information about the tasks, skills, and
competencies performed on the job by customer experience professionals.

The resulting CXPA CX Framework is organized into five core competency areas, which are
reflected in the Certified Customer Experience Professional (CCXP) certification as well as the five
sections of this publication:
• Customer Insights and Understanding
• Customer Experience Strategy
• Metrics, Measurement, and ROI
• Design, Implementation, and Innovation
• Culture and Accountability   

Five author teams, involving more than 40 professionals from across geographic regions and
industries, worked collaboratively to draft sections of the Book of Knowledge. Heather Gillbanks,
CCXP, who conceived of this project, served as executive editor, leading a peer review by the
full author team as well as a broader cross-section of the CXPA community. In total, more than
