Summary and process

How do you integrate a more customer-centric approach in your day-to-day job? Delivering effective customer experiences is what makes your organisation competitive and able to deliver value in the long run, but how can that be consistently reflected within your role?

The Customer Experience Fundamentals course is a self-paced cohort course that outlines the key customer experience terminology, methodologies, value and design approaches, whilst teaching a customer-centric mindset, capability systems and how to deliver value in your role by maximising the outcome.

Introduction to CX Fundamentals

Gain a clear understanding of key CX terminology and learn to use them correctly while understanding common myths in the industry that deprive you from getting to the right goals and outcomes. In this module, we align on the basics of effective customer experience and understand what is necessary to start creating value in our own contexts.

The Customer Way

Consisting of eight simple principles, the Customer Way details the fundamentals of becoming customer-centric. This concept is based on real-life examples that explain each individual aspect of the Customer Way and how it drives significant improvements to the top and bottom-line of a business, a positive and effective business culture and an effective and sustainable customer experience.

The Customer OS

The Customer Operating System is a disruptive management framework for customer teams. It describes a simple set of services that work together to deliver strategic goals and effective customer experience. Our approach challenges traditional team structures and replaces them with integrated customer teams that support the full customer journey.

Comprehensive Design

As customer experience becomes increasingly influential in today's competitive market, it is important to align organisational resources with this objective. Understanding comprehensive design provides brands with the tools and framework needed to gradually reorganise disparate teams into an effective whole, or to redesign organisational structures from the ground up.
