Courses - Customer Experience Management Method

In the face of rapid business change often driven by customers, the survival and growth of your organisation is dependent on how customers feel, perceive and talk about your brand. Every day, your organisation interacts with customers and delivers experiences. How can you set your brand apart from your competitors and win the affections of your customers? How do you build your organisation’s eco-system consisting of people, process and technology to work holistically and deliver positive customers’ experiences that will result in loyal customers who rave about your services? How do you build a trusting relationship with your customers? Research has shown us that successful organisations are increasingly embarking on a customer-centric journey to sustain growth.

In partnership with The BP Group and IQbusiness South Africa, HIQ Learning Services is pleased to introduce BP Group’s Customer Experience Management Method (CEMMethod®) to meet your organisations’ need for customer-centricity. The CEMMethod® is an ‘Outside-In’ approach to designing businesses from a customer perspective.
