About the Course
Organizations today face a critical performance gap: they possess more data than ever but struggle to translate it into a cohesive customer-centric approach that stakeholders can see and feel. To bridge this gap, you must master five core capabilities: journey mapping, sentiment analysis, service design, cross-functional alignment, and CX performance measurement. This course provides a systematic methodology for auditing your current service maturity against the ISO 10002 quality management standard, ensuring your leadership is grounded in internationally recognized best practices rather than intuition.
You will learn to transform scattered feedback into a structured Voice of the Customer (VoC) dashboard that informs product development and operational scaling. Specifically, you will practice building Customer Journey Maps, calculating Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), and designing Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that prioritize the user experience. While you will be introduced to advanced AI-powered sentiment tools, the primary focus is the hands-on application of the Service Blueprinting methodology to identify and eliminate friction points in your specific business model. This course is built for practitioners who must deliver measurable improvements in retention and satisfaction under tight budgetary and regulatory constraints.
