Course overview

Customer experience (CX) has evolved exponentially over the last decade as we enter a new era of the experience economy and these changes aren’t expected to slow. To keep pace with rapid developments and new opportunities, organisations must develop a comprehensive framework that connects digital, physical and social channels to offer a seamless omnichannel customer experience.

This course will equip you with various step-by-step practical frameworks and methods to develop new customer experiences for your organisation as well as give you the ability to implement them consistently across all channels. You will explore different technologies and industry examples, such as the use of AI and digital twin services, and learn how your organisation can go beyond traditional tools by embracing new thinking around customer interactions (including human-to-human, human-digital and human-ecosystem) to create highly personalised, consistent and integrated experiences.

You will also learn how to use data from different systems and service encounters to your advantage and develop new business models using data as a critical resource to drive new revenue streams.
