Nicole France is Vice President and Principal Analyst at Constellation focusing customer experience as an enterprise-wide team sport. Her research examines the interrelationship between sales, marketing, service, and customer engagement—and how to make it work effectively.

France evaluates the tools as well as the principles and practices that generate the best results in the real world. She considers the customer relationship lifecycle to be one of the most critical aspects of digital transformation for any business. It’s also one that can easily go awry. Success requires a clear focus on the objectives as well as a thorough understanding of how technology tools help to achieve them—and where they can’t.
