While mobile, social, and local trends will impact customer engagement, the key is focusing on understanding the "job to be done" for customers. Retailers should implement tactics to increase engagement by understanding the emotional reasons for purchases and tailoring experiences accordingly. Consistency across channels is best achieved by starting with your own story and customer strategies, and developing channel strategies
Customer experiences are more important than product features in building customer loyalty. Creating superior customer experiences requires a customer-centric approach across all business functions and touchpoints. There are seven types of customer experiences - sensory, emotional, intellectual, behavioral, social, symbolic, and functional - each influenced by different factors. Companies must understand these experiences and strategically design "wow moments" at key touchpoints to delight customers and strengthen emotional bonds with the brand.

Retail Guide: 10 Commandments of Customer-Centric RetailingRaymark
As our physical and online environments continue to come together, consumer behavior
keeps changing and retailers need to react. Today’s consumers are extremely connected and live a digital lifestyle. They are educated, expect speed and have become extremely demanding. With an overload of mass marketing, some customers have lost trust in retailers and have become less loyal.
In this guide, we will take you through the 10 commandments that every customer-centric retailer needs to follow in order to increase loyalty, new customer acquisition, visit conversion, transaction value and to optimize marketing and customer engagement costs.
The Changing Nature of the Customer Relationship by North HighlanddBrooke Novak
Things have changed with the way the customer experience is enacted. Success has less to do with big strategic decisions and more to do with practical, everyday operational decisions – and then getting them implemented. Customers have more control – much more. Product information, peer reviews and ratings, even competitors are all just a click away. This increased transparency puts brand promises to the test. And, whether you are B2C or B2B, your customers have become accustomed to personalized services, relevant and personalized offers, and customizable capabilities. All on demand. How do you meet these demands – let alone exceed them? This paper explores considerations on how to harness the power of digital information on the front line of the customer relationship to power your competitive edge through to your bottom line.
The document discusses how the customer relationship has changed in the digital era. There is now greater transparency, giving customers more information and control. This transparency puts pressure on companies to ensure their brand promise and customer experience are closely aligned. Companies must make operational changes to deliver on the brand promise and meet evolving customer needs and expectations. While technology has changed interactions, fundamental customer needs remain the same - companies need to focus on both adapting to new technologies and strengthening relationships through excellent operational execution.
The Connected Consumer Journey: Navigating The MeleeAleesha Tully
Pre-digital advertisers just didn’t have to deal with the myriad of channels and touch points that we have today. And if you’re responsible for marketing a brand – this can be pretty overwhelming. This presentation takes a look at how simple, human, thinking can add clarity to consumer journey planning.
The document provides an overview of the stages companies go through in developing a social customer service strategy. It begins with simply monitoring social media for marketing purposes and redirecting any customer service issues to other channels. The next stage involves a small team responding to issues on social media in an ad hoc manner. The final, most advanced stage involves fully integrating social customer service into the contact center with dedicated processes, analytics, and technology to efficiently resolve customer issues on social media.
This document discusses ways to evaluate the effectiveness of a company's corporate story or messaging across six key dimensions: alignment, relevance, uniqueness, consistency, memorability, and adaptability. It provides questions to assess how well a company's messaging aligns with its business strategy, resonates with customer needs, demonstrates differentiation from competitors, is delivered consistently across all channels, sticks in the minds of the audience, and adapts to changing market conditions over time. Evaluating messaging effectiveness across these six dimensions can help improve the impact messaging has on business performance.
This document discusses the importance of customer experience for businesses. It notes that customer expectations have increased as markets have become more competitive and experiences have become a key differentiator. While both consumers and marketers recognize the value of unique experiences, there is often a gap between perceived and actual customer experiences. The document provides recommendations for improving customer experience, including going back to basics by focusing on customers, mapping the end-to-end customer journey, listening to customers, empowering employees to drive experiences, and making customer experience a strategic priority.
Pre Conference: Transforming Your Customer ExperienceVivastream

Establishing Executive Alignment and Priorities Around Your Company’s Custom...James O'Gara
This is one of several presentations that are part of the Future of the CMO/CXP Executive Education Series -- Hosted by OnMessage.
Establishing Executive Alignment and Priorities Around Your Company’s Customer Experience.
Securing executive alignment and clearly defined priorities
in support of Customer Experience Management is crucial.
Yet, so few companies have a game plan for making this
happen. In most cases customer experience, as a priority
within the business, originates and stagnates within
customer service or call center departments. The initiative
fails to gain traction in other customer-facing areas of
the business. It never receives executive support and
endorsement. As a result, the customer experience never
delivers material business results.
Why is this? For the customer experience to translate into
improved financial performance and become a competitive
advantage, it must be embraced enterprise-wide. It must
be implemented in a cross-functional manner — and, it
has to be a priority for the CEO and the entire C-suite.

Customer Service is now driving the voice of the customer (VOC) cross-functional collaboration and that integration and use of VOC data makes all departments more effective and efficient.

Extracting Business Value From All Three Phases of the Customer ExperienceJames O'Gara
This presentation is from the Future of the CMO / CXP Executive Education Series (www.cmoeducationseries.com). The education series is hosted by OnMessage (www.itsonmessage.com).
This education session explains why CEOs, CMOs and other business executives are quickly coming to the realization that every aspect of the organization must work together to achieve lasting customer experience success. It’s not just about successful lead generation. It’s not just about great sales conversion rates, or a better than average Net Promoter Score. Christine Crandell, a contributing editor with Forbes magazine said it best, “Customer experience is not restricted just to the attract engage-convert-close funnel. Rather it is about the lifetime experience the buyer expects to have with a vendor.” What this means is every phase of the customer experience matters. And only when all three phases of the customer experience are performing at a high-level can a company reach its full potential.
How to Use Social Currency to Identify Your Brand InfluencersVivastream
The document discusses how to identify and engage brand influencers using social currency. It outlines stages of social media engagement from experimental to directly impacting results. Customers now spend significant time online and expect fast responses. The key is to foster customer-focused cultures and provide relevant, coordinated experiences through social media that customers want to share virally. Successful examples like CEMEX, Sanuk, and Verizon engage advocates by going where customers are and innovating with their input.

Unlocking Productivity: Leveraging the Potential of Copilot in Microsoft 365, a presentation by Christoforos Vlachos, Senior Solutions Manager – Modern Workplace, Uni Systems
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

4. USING ONLINE COMMUNITIES TO OPTIMIZE
THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
why are we talking about the customer experience?
what drives positive and negative customer experiences?
what impact does the customer experience have on brands?
how does it impact brands?
how to create a more ‘human’ experience?
5. THERE IS A NEW NORMAL
Customers are more empowered than ever before and they expect you
to ask for their opinion … then, they expect you to listen and respond
To adapt to these market changes, brands must adopt a collaborative
approach where customers are integrated into every business unit
from marketing to sales to innovation
Online communities can help facilitate this new
relationship between you and your customers

8. How Beyond Philosophy
defines customer experience:
A customer experience is an interaction between an
organization and a customer as perceived through a customer’s
conscious and subconscious mind. It is a blend of an
organization’s rational performance, the senses stimulated and
emotions evoked, and it is intuitively measured against
customer expectations across all moments of contact.
9. ROLE OF ONLINE COMMUNITY
Online communities allow companies to connect customers
with employees and each other, provide customers with valuable
content, insight and advice, and provide platforms for them to
express their opinions and be heard
Use qualitative tools such as live chats, surveys, login polls
to ask your customers questions to find attributes that are
associated with satisfaction or dissatisfaction.
These hubs help companies improve the customer experience,
increase sales, augment customer loyalty and generate
increased company awareness

20. PROVIDE A TRUST-BASED CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
Branding, and connection to the
organization, is always a personal
response. Companies have begun to
understand this on a more fundamental
level. Especially in terms of how they
need to become less institutional and
more accessible and social, transparent,
and trustworthy in the minds of
customers. Community is a key way they
can both understand this, and also
explore concepts for making the
enterprise more socially conscious.
Online communities represent a tool and
an environment for helping brands be
more open, authentic, collaborative,
transparent, and innovative.
