Much like space exploration, client experience (CX) can be daunting and overwhelming. CX is hard to define and wildly complex, with implications on recruiting and engaging talent, business development, billing and fee care, and so much more. The pandemic has underscored how critical and urgent the need is to deepen our firms investment in CX to propel our firms forward and stand out in a crowded universe.
But, how to get started? In this fun and fast-paced session, Alyson Fieldman and Jennifer Carro will share a case study on how Marcum LLP, a leading national accounting firm, designed its CX strategy and launched its CX program. They will explain how they created a business case and CX strategy, built a team internally, set realistic goals and priorities for the program including a 2-year roadmap, and launched the program. The duo will share the initial outcomes and successes of the program, and explain how the firm continues to invest in longer-term client-centric initiatives.
In small groups, you will have a chance to explore many of the basic tenets of CX “ from client feedback to journey mapping and client service standards “ to see what is right for your firm. Through a variety of hands-on activities, you will go on exploratory journey to uncover how to build your own CX rocket ship and get to a successful launch.
