Get your customers on the strategic agenda! Drawing on her first-hand experience at top companies as diverse as Land’s End and Microsoft, Jeanne Bliss explains why even great corporations can drift to delivering mediocrity to customers, and she offers a proven solution to break the cycle.
Leaders frequently proclaim a focus on customers, and then don’t back it up with a change in company metrics, motivation and the mechanics of working together. Different divisions and departments in corporations can fail to communicate and act as a team - they create silos instead of a superior customer experience. Jeanne Bliss shows in stark detail how profits suffer when businesses focus on their organizational charts and not their customer relationships.
This one-hour session will provide leaders the tools and information to begin to overcome organizational inertia and deliver a meaningful customer experience and corporate culture to sustain it. During the session, Jeanne will introduce diagnostics to determine if the company’s core strengths, metrics and systems improve or harm customer relationships. With the tools provided, leaders can address the organizational challenges they face. It is a powerful come-to-life overview of Jeanne’s new book, Chief Customer Officer, in which she put down on paper her 25 years of experience driving the customer agenda inside 5 major US corporations.
