DESCRIPTION

The transformation into customer-centricity is a priority within a growing number of organisations. Strategic initiatives, enterprise-wide change management programmes, and customer success strategies are being initiated to break silos, align teams around shared customer outcomes, and connect customer experience to business performance.

This is where customer journey management and operations comes into play: an organisational capability requiring sustained investment and cross-functional cooperation in order to bridge the gap between customer expectations and operational reality and unlock suitable growth.

Leaders at all levels of the organisation are critical and have a part to play. From Finance to IT, from Marketing to Customer Support, it’s important to connect metrics to customer outcomes and use customer insights to align strategy, validate decisions, and hold teams accountable.

This self-paced executive training lets you deep-dive and assess the relevance, the investment needed, the resources required, and your involvement in ensuring that your teams and organisation is focused on what matters to customers.

This deep-dive is part of the Customer Journey Management Mastery Program, equipping professionals with the skills to enable active journey governance and optimisation by learning how CJM fits into the broader customer management and service strategy discipline, functioning as a practice that spans internal structures, cultural mindsets, governance models, service orchestration, and operational capabilities. The program is relevant for organisations responding to challenges such as declining retention, inconsistent service delivery and customer experience, departmental misalignment, or the need for better customer insights. It is equally applicable to those undergoing digital transformation or seeking to differentiate through service. Professionals completing the program will be positioned to support journey-led transformation, shaping initiatives grounded in real-world needs and delivering measurable impact across channels, processes, and teams.

For whom

  • CEOs and C-suite leaders who need to connect customer experience to business performance and drive enterprise-wide alignment
  • Business Unit managers responsible for P&L, growth, or operational excellence who want to ensure their teams are focused on what matters to customers
  • Functional leaders (Finance, HR, Operations, etc.) who want to link their metrics to customer outcomes and identify inefficiencies or opportunities
  • Executives responsible for CX, CJM, service design or -delivery who want to leverage journey insights for strategic decisions
  • Any leader who recognises that customer-centricity is a competitive advantage but needs a practical way to operationalise it

OUTCOMES

  • Acquire a clear understanding of why customer-centricity drives business success
  • Find out how to govern, measure, and improve end-to-end customer experiences as a core business capability
  • Recognise the relevance of embedding customer journey thinking into decision-making
  • Gain clarity on what it actually takes to implement CJM, break silos to align teams around shared customer outcomes, and the patience required to see results
  • Identify how to tie journey metrics to hard business KPIs, link customer insights to business results, and prioritise investments based on impact
  • Find evidence in how CJM can unlock strategic value; from aligning investments to drive revenue, efficiency, and competitive advantage
  • Analyse your leadership role and learn how to engage with CJM effectively
  • Develop a clear framework to assess your organisation’s CJM maturity, spot gaps, and determine how to leverage or support the programme for maximum impact

FORMAT

  • A self-paced, online deep-dive: a mix of short videos, executive briefings, cases and self-reflection prompts (no exercises)
  • With a modular structure: a focus on the topics most relevant to your role (from strategy and decision-making to budget-allocation and ROI)
  • Action-oriented: ends with a clear decision framework for how to start & scale, sponsor, and measure the success of CJM in your organisation
  • In total, the deep-dive consists of approximately 8 hours of material that will remain available to you for a total of 12 weeks

STUDY POINTS

This course is worth 10 SDC study points. You will receive a certificate of completion.
