Find the Gaps with a Customer Experience Map CRMEvolution 2014jhewitt98
Businesses are constantly seeking ways to more accurately predict customer behavior and attitudes. Analytical models and market research offer robust information, but are you overlooking an innovative approach to discover what your customers are thinking and doing? Customer experience maps examine customer emotions and attitudes through the learn, buy, enjoy, and advocate stages of the customer life cycle. The map identifies the gaps in your customer experience and delivers a framework for effectively improving it. This presentation walks you through the process of creating a customer experience map and gives real-world examples of how a major financial institution and an entertainment loyalty program were able to use their maps to identify gaps in their communications and processes.
This presentation on Customer Experience Management was delivered at The Social CRM Conference in Singapore on the 21/01/2014. The event was attended by Senior Marketing Executives from around the Asia Pacific and Japan region.
This year marked the 21st anniversary of Pine and Gilmore’s Experience Economy, with customer experience management reaching age of majority across the globe. However, CX Maturity level-wise, most global brands and companies still linger in their infancy or, at most, tumultuous teenage years.
The presentation explores top 3 challenges and solutions to overcoming them
– having the right customer-centric culture, framework and program in place
– drawing from customer-obsessed lead research and consultancy practices as well as...
– CX leaders across industries.
This presentation forms part of the online Festival of NewMR series. Presented by Andreea Coca from Kantar.

The use of Internet and other online tools have turned consumers to be more empowered and are now shopping differently. Customers are becoming more demanding and accustomed to getting what they want. With greater access to reviews and online rating, customers are better equipped to switch to new products and services. Consumers now want to buy products and services when, where, and however they like. They expect companies to interact with them seamlessly, in an easy, integrated fashion with very little friction across channels.
As customer expectation continue to evolve – accelerated by the amplifying forces of interconnectivity and technology – markets are becoming increasingly fragmented with demand for greater product variety, more price points, and numerous purchasing and distribution channels.
Companies should be able to adapt to these increasingly disparate demands quickly and at scale. Staying close to the customer experience across an increasingly diverse customer base changing over time is no longer a matter of choice. It is a business imperative and a matter of corporate survival.
The Age of the Customer now calls for companies to be a customer-centric company. Successful ones have discovered that building a customer-centric company depends, first and foremost, on building a Customer-centric Culture.
This framework focuses on the building a Customer-centric Culture utilizing the Corporate Culture Framework. The Corporate Culture Framework is anchored on 4 Primary Cultural Attributes and 4 Secondary Cultural Attributes.
The 4 primary Cultural Attributes are critical in building a Customer-centric Culture.
1. Collective Focus
2. External Orientation
3. Change and Innovation
4. Shared Beliefs
Customer-centric organizations also project 4 secondary Cultural Attributes.
1. Risk and Governance
2. Courage
3. Commitment
4. Inclusion
Companies with a Customer-centric Culture can drive superior financial results and a rich source of competitive advantage.

What Is The P&Q Campaign?

All the research and insight generated together will be fed back into public forums so everyone can learn and get value from being involved.
What Is The P&Q Campaign?
The vision is to get everyone in the contact centre industry to collectively invent the next generation of operational practice in Performance Management and Quality Monitoring. All the research and insight generated together will be fed back into public forums so everyone can learn and get value from being involved.
More About The P&Q Challenge
The first major deliverable from all our crowdsourcing is the Strategic Planning Framework. This facilitates a 360° approach to adapting your current performance and quality practices in response to internal and external trends. It encourages an organisation to produce their own version that suits their own challenges and culture and prevents the P&Q Campaign from becoming too prescriptive about what a next generation approach needs to look like.
The idea of regularly adapting a P&Q ‘ecosystem’ is new. It is something we all need to digest and become used too. So we decided some incentivisation would help draw more organisations into having a go. The result is the so called ‘P&Q Challenge’. This offers a simple way of being recognised for undertaking the planning and implementation phases of using the Strategic Planning Framework and set up the seeds of a best practice community. All the material needed to complete the challenge can be previewed in the following slideshow.
Forget Skills - It is all about the right attitude in business - IIC&M webina...Bettina Pickering
We have all read news articles or heard stories about hires that went dramatically wrong. We also may have worked with colleagues or business associates who had great skills but their attitude made them a challenge to work with.
In this webinar, I covered:
• What does attitude mean exactly? And how is different to skills and competencies?
• Why attitude is more important than skills?
• How you would discover the characteristics of the ‘right attitude’ for the job
• How we can help our clients understand their attitude towards certain people, challenges or situations, and how that maybe holding them back.
• How to support clients to shift their attitude or use a ‘negative’ attitude as the signal to change that part of their life
How Senior Leadership Engage/Disengage in NonprofitsTalentMap
Many Nonprofits eagerly measure employee engagement only to discover that the most important determinant of employee engagement is staff’s perception of the senior leadership team. How do you tell colleagues that “we’re the problem”, and more importantly, how do you address and change leadership behaviours?
Bluprints is a globally-unique staff engagement model which serves to create a high-performance culture in conjunction with leadership vision.
Bluprints offers a simple, cost effective means to reach your entire organisation to define a pertinent business agenda in your lingo and to engage people in improvement activities against set priorities.
This high impact | low effort process brings your unique, critical business drivers to life in a visual, measurable, actionable storyline, mapping action to business objectives and delivering an ROI that will show the process is self-funding in a reasonable timeframe.
Across the globe, poor employee engagement statistics highlight a significant profit leakage whilst employee loyalty brings customer loyalty when your people are respected and their collective intelligence is harnessed to deliver customer value.
Some of the South African companies who have and are still using the Bluprints Method ™ to great acclaim are Deloitte, EY, Primedia Broadcasting, STRATE, Alexander Forbes and Sanlam.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Manie Roodt
Only 13% of employees worldwide are engaged at work, according to Gallup's new 142-country study on the State of the Global Workplace. In other words, about one in eight workers -- roughly 180 million employees in the countries studied -- are psychologically committed to their jobs and likely to be making positive contributions to their organizations.
Business leaders worldwide must raise the bar on employee engagement. Increasing workplace engagement is vital to achieving sustainable growth for companies, communities, and countries.
Employee loyalty brings customer loyalty when your people are respected and their collective intelligence is harnessed to deliver customer value. Yet, across the globe, poor employee engagement statistics highlight a significant and urgent profit leakage. Traditional top down approaches are the culprit.
Could I perhaps interest you in a conversation about how Bluprints’ innovative model will help rapidly connect people to your bigger picture so that they can contribute their best?

Executive coaching on a small group basis model for clientsAkash Dutta
Executive Coaching
A. What is it?
Executive Coaching is a management behavior that lies at the opposite end of the spectrum to command and control. It is highly effective for uncovering true values and producing the alignment without which business performance can never be optimized. It is a call for a fundamental transformation of management style and culture.
B. What does Executive coaching deliver?
Coaching delivers results in large measure because of the supportive relationship between the coach and the coachee, and the means and style of communication used. The Coachee does acquire the facts, not from the coach but from within himself, stimulated by the coach. Coaching can occur spontaneously in a minute or an hour long session.
Do you know how well your content is performing? Is it achieving the goals you set for it? If it is, do you know why? And even more importantly, if it isn’t, do you know why not? It can be difficult to answer these questions. We know we want to measure something, but we might not know what to measure. We might not even be exactly sure how to articulate the answer we hope to get so that we can “ask the right question.”
In this session, Andrea will describe a method for evaluating your problem space starting with the result you hope to achieve. She’ll discuss the merits of this approach, how it will help you to determine what data you want to collect, and how to best collect and analyze the right data to determine the effectiveness of various kinds of content.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
