Power Growth With Your Total Experience
Brand experience (BX) and customer experience (CX) are two sides of the same coin, and companies must invest in both simultaneously to deliver the Total Experience and maximize growth. An integrated strategy can increase revenue up to 3.5x — significantly more than focusing on one or the other. In this session, you will:
- Learn how Forrester’s new Brand Experience Index and newly refined Customer Experience Index (CX Index™) work together to measure and deliver a total experience.
- Discover how the indexes can help your brand shape acquisition and retention strategies.
- See examples in banking, automotive, retail, and more.

Design For The Future Of Experiences
The next generation of customer experiences is reshaping relationships at an unprecedented pace. Artificial intelligence and other mature and emerging technologies all demand that companies urgently adapt their design strategies to keep up with this rapid evolution. Customers’ expectation for a brand to deliver The Total Experience involves creating more intuitive, conversational, and humanlike interfaces. By doing so, businesses can gain deeper insights into customer preferences, automate repetitive tasks, and streamline the delivery of future digital experiences. Consequently, these experiences become more assistive, anticipatory, and empowering for customers, a shift that positions organizations to engage and grow with today’s “distracted consumer.”
In this keynote presentation, you will learn:
- How digital experiences need to evolve to be more humanlike and empowering.
- Leading organizations’ journeys toward next-generation design and technology strategies.
- Practical tools to start evolving how your company builds design practices and technical capabilities to deliver next-gen experiences.
Speakers:
Riccardo Pasto, Principal Analyst, Forrester
