The challenge for organisations today is that ‘service’ does not only take place face-to-face. Consumers expect to be able to interact with companies across many different channels – online, over the phone and face-to-face – to suit their needs and they expect a consistency of brand experience and high levels of service regardless of how and when they make contact.

  • How do you ensure the customer gets a consistent experience across so many touch points?
  • How do you ensure your website and your people deliver on the promise of your brand?
  • How can Amazon achieve its mission to become the earths most customer centric company with no face to face contact with customers? 


All these issues and more will be addressed by John Aves in his presentation.
