In the hyper-competitive markets in which more and more companies find themselves today, customer growth and loyalty are increasingly being influenced by customers’ experiences using products/services, getting answers to questions that arise and resolving problems when they occur. Winning long-term on such a basis requires establishing a reliable customer experience assessment/measurement capability and effective processes for discovering and infusing customer intelligence into strategic and operational decision-making.

Today, there are many ways to gather feedback from customers and to measure customer experience. What might be an effective “listening architecture” for your organization? Once an architecture is in place, the next challenge – and a very common one for organizations – is taking action based on feedback. How can insights be distilled and made visible to the organization in such a way as to make them compelling? How should action planning happen, progress on initiatives be tracked and results measured? The presentations and discussions at this session will focus on these questions – primarily with respect to customer experience feedback collected during and after customer service interactions (vs. periodic brand or product experience studies/feedback).

If you are in a customer experience measurement, customer insights, or similar role – whether at a company that sells B2B or B2C, please join us for this forum at which you’ll have the opportunity to learn about and compare approaches with fellow practitioners at other UWEBC member companies. We'll start the day by learning the perspectives and approaches of three organizations. First, we'll hear from Walker Information, a leading CX strategy and implementation advisory firm (with a focus on B2B clients, but also work with B2C companies), who will share their view on effective practices for CX measurement and response methods. Then, two UWEBC member companies – NeuGen (WEA Trust) and WEC Energy Group – will discuss their approaches and lessons learned. Following the presentations, the remainder of our time together will be devoted to experience and practice-sharing discussions in smaller groups around angles of the CX measurement and actioning theme of particular interest to the participants in the room. Please join us for an informative and interactive day!
