HITT Case Study: Driving CX into a construction powerhouse on the move

HITT Contracting is one of the largest construction/contracting firms in the US. In 2019 they set aggressive goals to genuinely embrace client experience (CX). In 2020, they selected CX Pilots to help them advance their CX management program to the next level.

Approach

We began HITT’s CX management program by first evaluating where their CX program was at present vs. where they wanted to take it in the future. From there we broke the program approach down into four phases;

  1. Audit existing client and partner feedback processes to determine best go forward approach to close more feedback loops and generate insights that could drive measurable business improvements.
  2. Plan and facilitate the firm’s first wave of outcome-oriented client personas and journey maps for their three most complex client segments.
  3. Perform an audit and analysis on their internal corporate training program and make recommendations to inject more client experience based programming into their corporate learning.
  4. Revise the firms approach to Purpose and Brand Promise in alignment with their renewed commitment to the client experience.
