CEM Summit develops 'Four Key Tracks' agenda

The 4th Customer Experience Africa Summit will take place from 22-23 July 2015 at the Westin Cape Town and will offer an educational conference programme, technology workshops, networking opportunities and cocktail functions.

The summit will deliver an extensively researched and expertly developed agenda focusing on CEM challenges faced by all scopes of business, including the upgrading of current CX systems. It features comprehensive 60-minute workshops led by leading solution providers in case study format. Attendees will gain invaluable hands-on industry knowledge, hearing from customer experience experts including event silver sponsor IQ Business.

The team from IQ Business will present a topical workshop aimed at assisting businesses and industry professionals in getting started on an 'Outside In Journey' where they will take a closer look at what a successful customer outcome is.

The workshop promises to deliver with an introduction to the CEMMethod, providing the basics and a quick and simple tool that one can apply straight away. Rather than trying to ask one's customers what they want, this tool applies Outside In thinking, guiding one to define and better understand one's customer and their real needs - and identify a measurable successful customer outcome. Come and experience the power and simplicity of this approach - it is an essential building block for anyone interested in improving customer experience.
