Conference Day Two - 20 January, 2021 (Timings in GMT)

15:10 PANEL DISCUSSION: OVERCOMING INTERNAL CULTURAL AND PROCESS CHALLENGES TO SUCCEED IN A COMPETITIVE AND UNPREDICTABLE MARKET

When undergoing any period of change, whether it’s a pandemic, merger and acquisition or attempting that all important digital transformation, success is largely down to having the right people and processes in place. But what do we see as the main inhibitors to change - across various business functions - and what can be done to overcome these? 


  • How can we effectively and practically manage cultural changes? Is a different type of CX employee needed?
  • What is the best approach to clarifying and operationalising your CX vision and tying it to clear business outcomes?
  • While it may be chaotic in the beginning, how can changes to people and processes be positively reinforced and maintained?
  • How do you manage an organisation in chaos mode?
  • Are all teams and employees responsible for its delivery? 

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Rekha.
