Day One

4:10 PM KEYNOTE CASE STUDY - The Power of Human by Design to Deliver Empathy, Build Trust & Gain Consumer Confidence

With consumer preference for digital self-service, the real differentiator for brand perception emerges in moments of crisis and complexity - when customers need human connection most. Yet simply hiring & building in human-touchpoints across customer journeys doesn’t guarantee empathy - it requires deliberate training, design and investment to create confidence and value for both customer and
business. Leeds Building Society will share their thoughtful approach to address:

• How to embed empathy into hiring, training, and career development strategies so colleagues are equipped to resonate with customers (even without lived experience)
• How to address internal objections by showing that empathy-led service reduces cost-to-serve and builds customer lifetime value
• Better identifying which services most require empathy and control and how to design training pilots that dial up the human advantage where it matters most

Day Two

9:50 AM PANEL DISCUSSION - Making Consumer Duty a Cultural Imperative, Not a Compliance Checkbox

While Consumer Duty has sharpened the industry’s focus on fairness an good outcomes, it’s often still treated as a compliance requirement rather than a driver of cultural transformation. This session explores how to embed Consumer Duty throughout the customer journey so it delivers tangible benefits for customers - not just reports for regulators. Learn how leaders are measuring the full end-to-end experience, evidencing outcomes, and ensuring the spirit of the regulation becomes part of the organisation’s DNA.

  •  Mapping and measuring end-to-end customer journeys to demonstrate genuine Consumer Duty outcomes.
  • Embedding Consumer Duty into company culture so it drives decisions at every level, not just compliance reporting.
  • Ensuring the regulation’s intended effect — fairer outcomes and stronger trust — is realised in daily operations..
