The Case for a More Strategic Approach to Customer Experience Management (Ralph Cummins)

Global market dynamics and trends have changed the B2B success playbook forever. Commoditization, pricing pressure, channel complexity, customer demands for knowledge, and more have all combined the way we think about how we engage and deliver value to customers. B2B customers, facing the same pressures, are looking for new and better ways to partner with their suppliers, thus creating the need for B2B marketers to take a more strategic approach to the experience they deliver. In this session, we examine the case for rethinking your approach to experience management in order to deliver mutual value.

Creating a Customer-Centric Culture (Ed O’Boyle)

As B2B industries have become increasingly commoditized, B2B companies have recognized the need for establishing a different type of relationship with their customers. Simply selling and delivering on a good set of products is no longer enough. B2B companies need to become partners with their customers, helping those customers address some of their most pressing business challenges. This had led to the proliferation of value-added services and solutions across B2B industries. It has also forced B2B companies to rethink how they manage their accounts to be customer-centric. This session will explore what it takes for B2B organizations to optimize their customer relationships to create a customer-centric culture and how focusing on your entire ecosystem can help unlock new ideas and growth opportunities for your organization and energize your culture.
