Attendees will learn what differentiates companies that succeed in transforming customer and employee engagement and how leaders are using digital workplace tools to accelerate toward a people-centric design.
Ables is also presenting the following sessions:
“Annual Plan: Continuous Customer Experience Innovation,” a Preconference Workshop on April 26. Most customer experience projects fail two or more times before organizations get it right. One critical reason for failure is because leaders do not fully understand the unique planning process. This interactive session dives into how to build an initial—and annually revised—plan for customer experience transformation. Attendees will participate in group planning exercises and learn how to build a plan, get the team engaged, build a business case, measure the ROI, benchmark satisfaction and constantly improve.
“7 Habits of Effective CRM Leaders” on April 29. CRM can deliver better customer experiences, higher loyalty, accelerated sales, and more effective marketing—but those results can be elusive. Attendees will learn how to generate excitement, engagement, adoption, and ROI while delivering a CRM solution that not only boosts performance but also wins over the entire team. This session is for companies starting a new CRM project, struggling with an existing one, or searching for ways to improve the current CRM system.
“Adoption Workshop: Going from CRM Struggles to ROI Success” on April 29. This interactive workshop will deliver tools and ideas to drive up adoption of CRM solutions, an overview of best practices and sharing of attendee experiences. This workshop delivers more than 26 ideas to drive up CRM solution adoption. Attendees pick which ideas to learn more about, gain an overview of best practices, share their own experiences and get access to additional tools and content.
