Forrester, a leading research and advisory firm based in the US, has launched a training program to help businesses develop their people to create better customer experiences. The program offers a unique blend of hands-on learning and self-paced lessons in a digital learning platform, taught by Forrester experts. The lessons  leverages Forrester’s more than 20 years of customer experience (CX) thought leadership.

While 73% of companies aim to be CX leaders, only 25% say their CX programs actually improve customer experiences. Companies with highly rated customer experiences increase revenue at twice the rate of those with poorly rated experiences, so brands that prioritize CX gain a clear financial upside. The value CX provides has created a tight talent market, and comprehensive CX training options are few. Forrester’s product fills this gap for companies looking to train new or existing CX teams as well as for individuals interested in moving into the burgeoning CX profession.

“Customer experience is a key differentiator across all industries, but most companies fail to provide quality experiences,” Forrester Chief Research and Product Officer Cliff Condon said.  “Our 2018 CX Index data reveals that CX improvement is stagnant for the third year in a row. By partnering with Forrester on their CX transformation journey, CX teams will take with them concrete skills, valuable tools, and repeatable processes that will help them differentiate on CX.”

Forrester’s three-part CX Certification begins with a six-week online course in CX Foundations, which features six lessons focusing on topics such as journey mapping, CX measurement, and ROI modeling. Working in a collaborative and social learning environment, participants create real-world deliverables through interactive activities and short video lessons that are available on demand. Successful completion awards participants a signed certificate and badge to promote their certification.

“CX training and certification is critical to our team and business,” Jill Skender Krummel, customer experience manager at Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation said. “Customer experience is still an emerging discipline and enrolling in Forrester’s CX Certification allows us to build our skills and gives us the confidence and credibility we need as the CX experts in our organization.”
