PEX USA 2015 - the judges cut

It takes nine months and a lot of graft sifting through the entries, interviewing candidates and then choosing the winners of the Award process. If you have a story to tell do share with the PEX Network and the broader community. It is a terrific acknowledgement of the team effort and organization investment in delivering performance improvements. If you are interested then visit http://www.pexweek.com, meanwhile this was the video from the 2015 Awards process. Enjoy.




This was my tenth year of judging. I am lucky to work with so many great people who keep me upto speed, and then share their efforts with the community.
Here are a few shots of my immediate judging colleagues from 2015.

 




PEX Week USA 2015 - 10/10 for effort guys



The event in Orlando during 2015 brought together people from process, customer and technology to celebrate the latest advances in performance excellence. Big theme this year was the inclusion of a dedicated customer excellence track, along with a new Awards category themed around customer centricity.

The measure of success is of course the delegate feedback, and early days reporting suggests the large majority welcomed the latest evolution to a dominated practitioner agenda with supporting workshops and keynotes.

The USA event has sent the bar high for 2015 - if you want to join the fun then consider the following: PEX Week Europe, London, April 27-29

PEX events feature the Certified Process Professional program and 40+ delegates attained the CPP Level 1&2. Congratulations to all. More on this soon, meanwhile you can review the CPP Masters events (Levels 1 thru 5) at http://www.bpgroup.org/book-class.html

The Customer Experience is the Process - how can you do that?

James Dodkins, CCO BP Group
Marketer’s are fond of segmenting customers by circumstance, for instance, where you live, your age profile and median salary. This approach is very limiting and only provides sparse information on what are the real Needs of the customer. For that we need a little more science and understand those requirements by identifying the successful customer outcome. 

This leads us to Categorizing by Need. So for instance a potential customer in the experience of either buying, renting or servicing a car might be ‘tech savvy’ or ‘silver surfer’ or ‘time is money’ people.  We can drill down into specific needs and identify how to operate the underpinning workflow systems, necessary interactions, people skills and so on.

We can summarize this into a handy grid we call the Customer Categorization approach (a handy tool created by BP Groups CCO James Dodkins www.jamesdodkins.com)

Naturally you should try this for yourselves and if you want to get professional about it join us on one of our upcoming CPP classes where we discuss, try out and prove 50+ other techniques as part of the CEMMethod™ approach. You will go away with a working template of how to deliver customer centricity and outside-in for you and your organization.
