Description

HorizonCX and New Direction Strategy in association with CXPA Boston are pleased to announce an interactive event for all customer experience (CX) professionals within the Boston area to be held later this month as The Boston Experience Management (XM) interest group. We are an informal gathering of CX professionals and other business leaders whose responsibilities encompass any and all aspects of experience management (customers, employees, students, patients, etc.) and who are looking to take a deeper dive into associated and relevant topics and share their experiences in an open-dialog format. There is no charge for attending this event, but we kindly ask that you register to attend.

NOTE: A valid parking permit is required and will be provided to all registrants prior to the event.

CX Open Dialog Session:

Becoming experience-focused is a significant cultural shift for most organizations. Moving from inside-out to an outside-in perspective can challenge deeply held institutional assumptions, priorities, and ways of working. Yet until organizations can make the shift, they may limit the value of their own customer experience programs.

How can we apply customer experience principles to these cultural shifts? Can we see the organization, and key influencers, as the customer whose experience we want to impact? Key concepts from change management including the value of visible sponsorship and the all-important WIIFM (“What’s In It For Me??”) can help.

Join us on Tuesday, February 25, 2020, at Bentley University, Waltham, where Sue Harvey, Founder, and Principal at New Direction Strategy will lead a discussion about the challenges to organizations adopting this mindset, and how change management techniques can support, deepen and accelerate adoption. This highly interactive session will draw on change management principles and live examples. Arrive with your own successes and challenges to share; leave with new concepts, tactics, and connections to apply when you get back to the office.
