CCO Council Events

Home  »  Events

The future of customer-centricity begins in October

It's a bold promise, but defining the future is exactly what our extraordinary participants, speakers and panelists do.

Our 4th annual Chief Customer Officer Council Summit offers an unprecedented opportunity to exchange ideas with the best of the best. Think of the Summit as an all access pass to some of the most creative minds from the Fortune 500, all focused on the same challenges to customer-centricity that you face.

You will hear directly from peers who have taken disruptive innovation to market used customer needs as the springboard to next-gen technology and protected profits while incubating ideas that are transforming business as usual.


We restrict attendance to top customer-facing officers, including CCOs, CMOs, and CSOs in order to provide a setting that promotes candid conversation and genuine connection. The environment is intimate, relaxed and vendor-free.


I'm not aware of any other gathering of this caliber where someone like you can get enormous value from two days with your peers.

Welcome from Mike Koehler, CEO Teradata (Keynote) Mike Koehler, CEO Teradata
Accountability for Innovation:
the Interconnection and Interdependence of the Executive Team

In this panel we will be discussing what happens when nobody owns innovation. We
will look at the role of the individual and the nature of the
interconnection and interdependence with members of the executive team in
advancing customer-centric innovation, as well as ways our roles need to
change to make innovation a strategic competitive advantage.

    Questions for discussion:
  • How much should/can I do alone?
  • What needs to be done in concert with my peers and how can I engage and integrate with their efforts?
  • How can customer executives mature in their focus from crisis management to strategic innovation?
