Most organizations don’t struggle with customer feedback.

They struggle with what to do once it shows up.
Customer signals surface everywhere, surveys, reviews, escalations, frontline comments.

But without a shared escalation and alignment system, teams experience:

• Escalations that feel reactive instead of decision ready

• Leaders pulled into debates instead of decisions

• CX themes discussed repeatedly without resolution

• Frontline teams unsure when to escalate and when to own issues

• Executive time spent untangling context instead of acting
  

When escalation lacks structure, alignment breaks down.

The Problem This Solves

The Alignment and Escalation Playbook is a practical operating guide for how customer signals move through the organization.

It defines:

• What qualifies for escalation and what does not

• How to package customer context so leaders can decide quickly

• Who owns next steps at each level

• How to align teams around decisions once they are made

• How CX themes translate into pipeline, retention, and revenue impact

This is not a policy document.
This is not a checklist.

This is how alignment actually happens at scale.

What this Playbook Is

Who this is for:
Built for CX, operations, and executive leaders who manage escalations that cross teams, risk, or authority. If customer issues create debate, delay, or confusion instead of clear decisions, this playbook gives you the structure to align and act fast.
