What you will experience

Before the programme - CX assessment

Setting the foundation for success

Before the beginning of the event, you receive a personalised CX Maturity Survey that highlights your organisation’s strengths, gaps and priorities.
This ensures the programme is tailored to your real context, not a generic curriculum.

This pre-event assessment ensures you arrive at the course fully prepared with a clear understanding of your organisation’s CX maturity, compared to the market benchmark. It’s the first step in creating a targeted, actionable CX transformation strategythat you can implement immediately after the course.

Day 1 - CX strategy, culture & governance

Building the foundations for sustainable CX

You explore what truly drives customer‑centric behaviour inside an organisation: leadership, culture, governance and cross‑functional alignment.
You define responsibilities, routines and strategic direction, creating the foundations for a CX approach that is coherent, credible and aligned with business goals.

3. CX Strategy

The topics covered emphasize everything you need to know to build a successful CX strategy for your company, regardless of domain:

  • Company mission and vision from a customer experience perspective;
  • The building blocks for developing a CX strategy;
  • Aligning Customer Experience strategy with business strategy;
  • Practical exercise: creating a Customer Persona for your company and a consistent and realistic promise for it;
  • You will start building the CX strategy and action plan based on the needs and desires of the customers but also of the company;
  • Involve and motivate the whole organisation in implementing the CX strategy;
  • Communicate the strategy and plan throughout the organisation.

Day 2 - Measurement, performance & digital CX

Connecting CX to business outcomes

You learn how to prioritise journeys, design meaningful measurement systems and link CX performance to organisational results.
You explore digital experience design, technology integration and future‑ready journeys that combine AI, digital and human empathy.
At the end, you may take the one‑hour exam to obtain the Certified Customer Centricity Expert (CCCX) accreditation.

After the programme - post-course benefits
