85% of Corporate Executives say customer experience is the next competitive battleground, but what does this really mean? Inside and outside of your organization, you may have been exposed to a myriad of "customer-centric" terms and buzzwords including: "CEM," "CX," "CXM," "User Experience," "Experiential Marketing" and "Customer Centricity." Many are used interchangeably, and many times inaccurately! Moving past the buzz words and hype, do you know what it all means?

In a day where only 11% of companies obtain an "excellent" rating for customer experience, it’s important to understand how the customer experience impacts your brand, your organization, your job and your future.

Join this online seminar to learn the answers to these and many other questions:

What is Customer Experience Management (CEM)?
How does CEM differ from CRM, UX and Experiential Marketing?
Does the brand define the experience – or is it the other way around?
What key trends and data support the move to customer-centric operating models?
How are organizations shifting to better respond to customer needs?
Who should "own" customer experience management within the organization?
What role should marketers play in defining customer experience?

This seminar will shatter common myths related to CEM and provide practical and tactical counsel to support senior and mid-level executives in driving collaboration and better experiences within their organizations.
