Delivering transformational customer and employee experiences can be clear differentiators in every industry. The course materials are adapted for the professional services industry from the The Experience Economy (1999 and 2011, Harvard Business School Press). The presenter is one of the first 10 people in the world to be certified as an Experience Economy Expert (2006).
