2011 Annual CCO Summit - New York City

October 18-19, 2011

The theme for this meeting is "Accelerating Leadership." More so than any other member of the C-Suite, the success of the Chief Customer Officer depends on the ability to lead through influence. The CCO has some positional authority and can "borrow" authority from the CEO championing the cause, but the most successful CCOs are those that quickly earn authority and exercise compelling leadership.

 

 

How does one become a compelling leader? What are the
traits, skills, and strategies of the most successful Chief Customer Officers?

During this series of discussions you will hear from Vicky Stennes, vice president, inflight experience at JetBlue Airways who will discuss the leadership required to turn a struggling airline into a JD Powers and Associates award winner for five
straight years, and how she¹s created a truly passionate workforce who can¹t wait to go to work!

Sean Tucker will share his view of leadership, passion, and thrill.
A National Aviation Hall of Fame inductee and aerobatic pilot for Team Oracle, he is the only civilian performer ever to be allowed to fly close formation with the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds. Tucker has flown more than 1,000 performances at more than 425 airshows, in front of more than 80 million spectators.

Jeb Dasteel, Chief Customer Officer of Oracle and the CCO Council¹s 2009 Chief Customer Officer of the Year, will share how he¹s leveraging data and customer analytics to lead Oracle to more profitable growth. He¹ll also lead a discussion around the core analytics every CCO should be tracking.

Jasmine Green, VP and chief customer advocate of Nationwide will share how she helped Nationwide get to the root cause of customer complaints and then actually DO something about it, leading a culture and business transformation across 32,000 associates, enhancing accountability, engagement, customer retention, yielding powerful business results.

The highlight of the event is the awarding of the Chief Customer Officer Council CCO of the Year award to the Chief Customer Officer that has achieved the greatest results for his or her company and for the overall perception of the Role of the CCO.

This is the only place where CCOs can gather and openly share with true peers their successes, failures, and challenges. Here you¹ll learn what others have done before, and most importantly, gain answers to your most urgent issues. You¹ll walk away with a collection of new ideas, proven strategies, a handful of best practices, and new relationships to support your endeavors. I guarantee that the more you engage, the more you¹ll gain that will help ensure your success and increase your value to your organization, your CEO, and your customers.

In this age where customers demand superior service, access, and transparency, customer-centricity is the only sustainable source of competitive advantage. Let¹s fuel this transformation by bringing everyone with us on the journey towards solid business performance.

I look forward to having you join us.

1:00pm ET Leadership from 30,000 Feet: Inspiring a Passionate Workforce
Everyone has an airline story to tell, and many are mediocre to poor. Resisting the "send everyone to charm school" approach, Vicky Stennes started instead from the inside out to find out what was preventing crewmembers from delivering a spectacular experience, and then engaged them in finding practical solutions. Rather than distributing "Dummies Guides to Service" and demanding compliance she modeled exemplary behavior, showing what it felt like and earning dedicated followers.

Vicky will share how she created emotional bonds with crewmembers and inspired them to use their discretionary energy to help champion the customer cause and earn the JD Powers award for seven consecutive years.

Topics for discussion:

1. What are the obstacles to employees' delivery of excellent customer service?

2. Do your employees know exactly how their performance impacts customers?

3. What are you doing to engage employees in designing ideal outcomes?

4. How can you create extremely motivated employees that willingly dedicate discretionary time and energy to supporting the customer cause?

JetBlue, Vicky Stennes, VP Inflight Experience
