“Managing customer experience is the practice of designing and reacting to customer interactions to meet or exceed their expectations, leading to greater customer satisfaction, loyalty and advocacy." Gartner
This course is designed to help leaders put customers at the heart of their company’s vision, mission and strategy. From gaining an understanding of the broader commercial context and competitive environment, the programme will help to map out the customer journey and pinpoint their needs and expectations. This will provide the opportunity to highlight internal strengths and weaknesses and address how to further develop the leadership ingredients that support a customer-centred organisation. A key part of this will be learning how to develop an effective people strategy for customer success; how to recruit, develop and reward teams. Furthermore, you will explore how to develop and consistently monitor and evaluate your company’s processes to create an excellent customer experience.
