Steven’s most sought-after topics
Cx Strategy: The offer you can’t refuse
In today’s market, having a great product and offering good service is the baseline, not the winning formula. Convenience, too, is now a commodity, and it’s no longer a positive differentiator. Steven’s keynote urges businesses to go beyond transactional relationships and aim to become a ‘partner in life’ for their customers, delivering personalized solutions and creating societal value. He illustrates this approach with global company examples, showcasing how to present customers with an ‘offer they can’t refuse.’
Creating a Strong Customer Culture: The diamond in the rough
The paradox in the customer experience world is that while companies have good intentions to make their customers happy, the actual execution often falls short. Steven’s keynote, based on twelve years of conversations with CX professionals, focuses on transforming well-intentioned companies into successful ones by infusing a genuine Customer Culture. He sheds light on why teams struggle to become customer-centric, demonstrates the impact of small changes, and equips organizations with the tools to establish a customer culture effectively.
Transform the role of humans in CX: When digital becomes human
In the rapidly evolving landscape of customer relationships, there’s an imperative for an extreme transformation to adapt to self-service, big data, customer automation, and the fusion of online and offline worlds. Not only does a successful digital transformation matter, but the human aspect of customer relationships must also evolve. Steven’s keynote, guided by his famous narrative ‘When Digital Becomes Human,’ explores the intersection of digital and human transformation in customer strategy, addressing challenges like striking a man-machine balance, defining the role of the human touch, and leveraging the power of connecting people to maximum advantage, offering an engaging journey into the future of customer relations.
Customer Experience and AI: Customers the day after tomorrow
Artificial Intelligence has the power to change the customer relationship forever. We all believe tech is cool and shiny but our focus on the tech part can blind us to other aspects. In this keynote Steven demonstrates that not tech but customer benefits should be the guiding star in your decision making. Using AI to create faster than real time service, hyper personalized offerings and the highest convenience levels possible generate value for your organization.
