Aimed at those of you who missed the April 2008 event, Colin will begin by illustrating the 7 key Customer Experiences and during his facilitation, he will make live phone calls to companies to provide examples to the points he is making. Not to be missed!    

One of the key benefits of the day will be the networking.  You will be amongst other people from organisations all of whom will be at various stages of their development.  To help facilitate learning, the afternoon session will complete a Seven Philosophy for Building a Great Customer Experience self assessment questionnaire.  THis will enable you to see, understand how well you are doing in creating a great Customer Experience.  You will then debate with other people in your groups to help gain insight and ideas on how to improve your experience.

Case Study from Norchwich Union

 "Becoming a more customer centric business. How Norwich Union is progressing in its attempts to be more customer orientated"

 In 2005 it was widely acknowledged that NU  had 'taken its eye off the service ball' and we fell to an embarrassing '1 star' rating in the IFA service awards. A major effort was instigated to recover and improve our service, resulting in a set of committed New Business service promises and a focus and investment in improving customer journeys. Darren Cornish, then Head Of Customer Experience, set about changing to culture, from top to bottom, to one that is customer and staff centric. A whole set of different interventions were used, including 'walking in the customers shoes' by crashing cars and flooding flats through to continuos 'angry customer forums' and more hard-wired changes such as creating a 'one and done' operating model and shifting operational measurement. Norwich Union are also gradually improving our ecomm service offering and have invested significantly in a CII Accredited programme, 'The Service Academy' for all our staff to improve skills and knowledge. We have seen complaints reduce by 75% in this time and have recovered to '3 star' in 2007 (awaiting this years judgement!). We know we have some way to go to be an excellent service provider across all products but feel we have now laid the foundations for ongoing success.

Darren will share some high and lowlights of the last 3 years and discuss with delegates any topics relating to Customer Experience.
