Customer-Focused Innovation is a blend of theory, practice, strategy, and invention. CX innovation doesn’t start with a problem statement; it begins with your customer.

MODULE 4:
Customer First Culture
​Today, the customer is almighty. Now is the time to educate yourself and your workforce to create a customer-first culture that positions you for the greatest, long-term success. This strategy isn’t about “blowing up” your current culture; it’s acting together to make a difference in how your brand is perceived.
  • Accept the reality that your customer experience will never exceed your employee experience
  • Engage the hearts and minds of your people
  • Define “how to work together” to deliver your brand promise and exceptional customer experiences

MODULE 5:
Principles of Customer ​Relationship Building
Customer Experience is multi-faceted and relies on the strong relationships you build with your customers. Use the Customer Relationship Development Model to identify and define core elements to build relationships and improve overall experiences. Through collaboration and ideation, you create a maturity matrix specifically for your business.

  • Eliminate silos, break down barriers and establish a collaborative approach
  • Establish Customer Experience Advisory and Leadership models that align to business growth
Picture
MODULE 7:
​Accelerate & Improve Decisions with Data
​Inform your CX Decisions with data. An effective Customer Experience initiative requires that you connect the dots between your customers’ brand perceptions. All data needs to be readily available in one place. The customer will access your company through various touchpoints; however, whichever department is interacting with your customer needs to see this as one conversation. To ensure your ROI, customer churn rates, share of wallet, Net Promoter Scores, average handling times, and cost of acquisition, all need to tie to your CX program.
  • Learn best in class processes that drive ongoing business performance.
  • Link customer experience perceptions with your operational costs
  • Set, monitor, and continuously update actionable metrics to drive the desired results

MODULE 8:
Customer Experience in your Organization-Navigating Politics of Change

It takes an exceptional leader to navigate these waters and get your entire organization marching to the same drummer. Arm yourself with these essential leadership skills.  
  • Discover how to drive adoption across your entire organization
