The Customer Experience Advisory Council
The Customer Experience Advisory Council is an international group of Customer Experience experts who advise Customer Management IQ on a number of strategic decision-making processes.
The Council provides meaningful help on a regular basis in many different areas, including agenda content, speaker suggestions, event structure, networking activities and more. Their abilities, experience, and knowledge have been carefully selected to ensure that as a group they provide Customer Management IQ’s Exchange events with well rounded and balanced advice. Sometimes questions will be posed to the group as a whole and sometimes individual members will be consulted alone, however, they each share an active and regular dialogue with Exchange Producers.
Your Advisory Council currently consists of:
