Feedback
A common perception is that customer centric culture is all about putting "yourself in the customers shoes". As Chris demonstrated in his Keynote it's more than that. It's about insights, foresight and the organisational ability to respond to market dynamics. He outlines the 8 disciplines that make up customer centric cultures, how to measure and benchmark your performance, how to improve and the benefits of doing so. It is a invaluable framework that makes the intangible come to life! Disney Company

It was such a pleasure to partner with Chris Brown during our Harvard Corporate Learning Leadership program recently for a key client. He was easy to work with, and his MRI survey and keynote session was inspiring and challenged the top 150 leaders to think differently, hold up the mirror to reflect on their own customer-centricity journey and their role as leaders to accelerate it. His powerful stories helped make culture change tangible by providing a wealth of great ideas to inform future thinking. In the words of the leaders - "outstanding session and insights" and 'great investment of time'. Thanks Chris. Look forward to future opportunities to collaborate.
