Of course, there are legion CX conferences, many with similarly great speakers. The point of difference here is the radical re-thinking of the ‘customer economy.’

What, exactly, is the “Customer Economy”?

In early 2020, Chris Adlard and Daniel Bausor published their book “The Customer Catalyst,” subtitled ‘How to drive sustainable business growth in the Customer Economy.’

Chris and Daniel argue that today’s customers are truly in the driving seat. Not just ‘the customer is king,’ but that the whole economy is transforming in front of our eyes. The book details ten C-change elements (I have listed them below), designed to help understand the impacts and influences on the customer economy.

After the book was published in early 2020, Chris and Daniel launched The Customer Catalyst Conference. Now in its second year, the conference attracts speakers and delegates from every sector, at every level, keen to hear how the arguments in the book translate into real-world actions.

In a nutshell, the customer economy places greater demands on businesses and yet offers greater rewards, by being prepared to put customers truly at the heart of an organisation to help catalyse genuine, sustainable growth. For example, today’s customers can sign up in their millions to a new service, yet switch to a competitor just a moment later. In this kind of customer economy, Chris and Daniel detail the critical C-change steps to help build a resilient, growing business.

C-change elements

The ten C-change components identified by Chris and Daniel are: Voice, Culture, Experience, Technology, Digital, Success, Health, Engagement, Co-creation, Advocacy. Focusing on themes from the book, you can hear how the speakers manage the challenges they face, and understand the successes that a customer-focused approach can bring.
