We all know that creating customer experiences is important. But which experiences take priority? And how do we justify long term investments in things like data and personalization - and tie it to business outcomes? What's needed is a customer experience strategy that goes beyond making sure that the customer journey is smooth. Brands must invest in next-generation experiences that build movements, transformation relationships, and result in exponential growth. We'll go beyond the platitude of "customer obsession" and share what it takes to build a culture that keeps customers at the center every day.
Audience members will learn how to:
- Prioritize which customer experience initiatives to invest in, so that they drive both business results and meet customers' heightened expectations.
- Define and create next-generation customer experiences.
- Involve the right people and ensure that they have the skills, capabilities, and mindsets are required to succeed.
- Make great customer experiences a priority for everyone in the organization.
"Disrupt or Die" has been the rallying cry for decades, but what does it actually mean to be disruptive, to make it the center of your strategy? Many established companies set a goal to develop "disruptive" innovations, believing innovation will disrupt their market and drive growth. But that's not how it works: disruption doesn't create growth. Growth creates disruption. Transformations are never easy, and the unrelenting pace of technological change makes it doubly difficult. But there's hope and a way forward — starting with reframing your strategy, leadership and culture so that disruptive growth is at the top of your agenda.
Audience members will learn how to:
- Define what disruption is — and isn't — and how it can drive disruptive growth.
- Identify and prioritize the right disruptive growth moves — and align the organization around them.
- Understand how leaders must show up differently when pursuing a disruption strategy.
- Instill disruption into a status-quo culture.
