Das Konzept der Kundenzentrierung steht seit Jahren im Mittelpunkt vieler Unternehmen und wird es auch weiterhin tun.

- Keynote:Radikale CX – Wie Kundenerwartungen die Serviceversprechen von Unternehmen revolutionieren
Kunden haben heute radikale Erwartungen, die den gesamten Kundenservice neu definieren. Aber: Wie genau sehen diese Erwartungen aus und vor welchen großen Herausforderungen stehen Unternehmen und Kunden derzeit?
Ultimatives Erlebnis und die Forderung nach sofortiger Reaktion ist das neue Mantra der Verbraucher. KI spielt dabei eine wichtige Rolle, denn sie kann erheblich dazu beitragen, das Kundenerlebnis zu optimieren und den ständig wachsenden Ansprüchen der Kunden gerecht zu werden. Doch wo liegen die Grenzen der KI und wie können Unternehmen das Beste aus ihr herausholen?
Und welche Rolle spielt dabei das Metaverse? Matthias Göhler, EMEA CTO bei Zendesk, ist der Meinung, dass Unternehmen jetzt mit der Entwicklung einer Metaverse-CX-Strategie beginnen sollten! Das Metaverse entwickelt sich weiter und bietet Potenzial, wie es die Kundenbindung beeinflussen kann.

The forgotten female customer group
What matters to women shapes the growth markets of the futureWomen account for 70 percent of all consumer spending globally. To attract the female consumer of the future, it’s important to put the values, desires and activities of her everyday life into context.
For business, the survey results provide clues as to where the growth markets of the future lie and which (female) needs they have – so far – neglected: Companies need to develop offers, products, an appropriate design, a customer journey and also choose an approach that takes into account the everyday reality of women in and does not forget or depend on them as customers.

Sessions
- Masterclass:
How the age of the customer changes the way advertising agencies work
We all have that one emotional tv spot in our head that we loved when we were young. Or that super catchy radio jingle that kept on ringing in our head for ages. Advertising agencies have always been known for creating these kind of creative assets. But with the growing relevance of customer centricity, the role of advertising agencies and the demands of their clients have changed:
Why do we think on a touchpoint level, if users don’t?
Agency and client must overthink their relationship and see each other as partners that work together across departments in order to overcome silos and strive for one orchestrated or aligned experience.Ad campaigns are dead, long live ad campaigns
A customer experience can never be bound to a two week or three month campaign slot within the marketing calendar. We need to work together in order to switch the hierarchy and have campaigns match the overall CX strategy of an organization.Find joy in data
Most creatives don’t like data. They can’t get their head around it. And that’s okay, because it’s not their job. But strategists need to fall in love with data in order to write creative briefs that really cater to the customer and not their individual understanding of a potential customer. This is the only way to create communication that really is user-centric and solves business problems.

Link customer experience to business outcomes by leveraging operational and transactional data
Mainly relying on survey data to take an action-based approach to CX doesn’t allow companies to fully understand the relationship between the service levels offered and the impact on customer satisfaction and the company’s financial performance. This masterclass aims to discuss how today’s technological capabilities create an innovative and improved way of managing customer success strategies. When combining VoC data with operational data, companies can understand on an individual customer level what service interaction has the most significant weight on their satisfaction and predict the financial gain or loss linked to that service interaction. Once companies understand the economics of their customer experience, they can calculate the ROI of their service improvements, prioritize where to invest resources, and maximize their returns.
Following the trend of hyper-personalization and anticipation of customer needs, our masterclass will focus on using operational and transactional data to understand the experience that matters the most to customers. This approach allows companies to create a more tailored and personalized experience, constantly exceeding customer expectations and improving their retention scores.
