Reinventing customer experiences with BPM

>> go to webinar

When we ask organisations which business areas are most important for process improvement, we see strong consistency in responses: the areas which touch the customer. Organisations are realising that their current CRM investments haven’t enabled them to deliver the customer experiences they want to deliver. There’s growing realisation that an "outside in", customer-focused view can yield valuable insights and highlight opportunities for improvement in a way that the "inside out" perspective typically taken by yesterday’s CRM implementations couldn’t.

This event includes a 30-minute keynote webinar - "Applying BPM to customer experiences - opportunities, approaches and challenges" - followed by a series of enterprise case study interviews, starting with Irish Life Corporate Business and Pinnacle People. A free Guest Pass account is required to access the event content - register here.
