2:00 pm - 4:00 pm Workshop C: Evaluating Digital Transformation Readiness with the Customer Service Maturity Assessment

Today, customers have more choice: more products to choose from, more devices and channels over which to seek customer service. What they don't have is patience – and customers leave you if their experiences are not in-line with expectations.
This workshop will assist you in benchmarking your operations against customer service best practices. The results will help:
·         Pinpoint your strengths against best practices
·         Discover areas of opportunity for improvement
·         Prioritize investments in strategy, process re-engineering, automation and technologies for loyalty-creating customer experiences
