Focus Topics

Customer Experience

Whenever Stefan Osthaus speaks about customers on stage, you will be exposed to years of experience as a global VP of Customer Experience combined with a witty presentation style that leaves audiences enthusiastic. Stefan bases his advice and insights on a success story of having increased a Fortune 500 company’s NPS score by 30 points, making them a leading CX player in their field. Stefan’s latest research led to the unique philosophy of the three Darwinist phases of customer orientation with the corresponding advice for each phase an organization can be in (see related blog article on the topic).

This lets every audience easily get the message and helps them understand where their organization stands and where to go next in order to ensure sustained success.

Employee Experience

Happy employees create loyal customers! Got that – but why does our data tell us that a majority of organizations are still highly indifferent about the 4P of employee satisfaction (pay, play, productivity, purpose)?

Complement your next sales kick-off or your next all-hands meeting with a focus on employee satisfaction and bring Stefan Osthaus in for a keynote on employee experience. Stefan will closely align with you on all other aspects of the meeting and effective support your messaging and target setting as well as – at the same time – balance them with a convincing focus on the employee side of life.
