THE X MASTERCLASSES
Businesses worldwide have woken up to the significance of managing and curating their Experiences (X). It’s all about those different fields of expertise that enable companies to design, manage and improve the relationship, interactions and value of their customers, partners and clients.
For us, this means we passionately believe to pursue a proven and professional understanding of Customer Experience, Loyalty Experience (NPS) and Data-Driven Experience. As well as the skillset HOW to make it a success. In other words, to rally the organisation behind these ambitions through Business Storytelling.
WHO
The Masterclasses are designed for senior professionals that design, improve and/or lead in CX, NPS or VOC related programmes and initiatives in their companies or at clients. Roles attending are typically from CX, NPS, Programme Managers, Marketing, Research and also HR, Customer Care or anyone who seeks to expand their skills and expertise.
The Masterclasses are applicable for all sizes of companies and all industries in B2B, B2C, B2G (Government) and B2P3 (Patients, Passengers or Partners).
OPEN HOUSE & IN-COMPANY
All the Masterclasses are held Open House (scheduled Masterclasses for which you can sign up) as well as In-company editions (exclusively planned for your teams and specially tailored you your ambitions).
LIVE & ONLINE
All the Masterclasses are available as a live Masterclass as well as online Masterclasses for a full virtual experience.
WHERE
The Masterclasses have an international focus and appeal. They are hosted all over the world (when Covid allows). And with Open House editions you’ll see participants and companies from all over the globe likely to join you.
With the live Masterclasses we take great pride in choosing the most inspiring locations to truly deliver a great experience. From five star Grand Hotels to cool industrial lofts and more. And rest asure, the online editions aren’t lacking in inspiration and experiences either…
WHAT
The Masterclasses are in-depth, challenging and surprising. A proven range of topics that are essential, commonly accepted building blocks combined with inspiring trends and developments, unexpected viewpoints, best cases from around the globe and real-life experiences. O, and did we mention great exercises, peer learning, your own Action Plan, sample Exam questions (incl. those to prepare you for the CCXP Exam)? This is really one fully immersive experience!
The Masterclasses are delivered and designed by people that have actually done it! Grounded in real-life with all the ‘scars and the stars’! No textbook-only teaching or consultants on the sidelines. We want the real deal: extensive sharing of ‘war notes’, bending the truth, playing the game, avoiding pitfalls and stakeholder management.
It’s all about transformational change. That means something …extra. Not just learning text books, nor just being able to copy best practices. Sharing and showing innovative trends, behavioural psychology, off-beat perspectives is truly essential for success.
All X Masterclasses are linked. Of course… They’re all part of the same universe. So you’ll get all the cross-references to deepen insights and enrich understanding. However, we do not stand for simply duplicating slides. All material in every Masterclass is fully original.
Often overlooked or justified, but high quality visuals and material bring theory, models, examples and inspiration to life. It should explode from the page and screen. Sharp, engaging and just awesome it’s an essential part to make it all stick!
We don’t do outdated stuff, old and chewed out examples. We’re always at the forefront of what’s happening and relevant. Our genuine passion and promise is that we will have the latest examples, novel takes, innovative views that are happening right now!

Reporting Analyst, Booking.com
In a world where Zoom has become standard (and I regularly suffer Zoom fatigue) it is a standout that I spent 9 hours+ in a single day in a zoom call AND could have happily / willingly / enthusiastically carried on into the evening. The Masterclass is no doubt a fantastic grounding in all things CX, but it is amazing that this has been delivered online and was still successful in creating human connection amongst fellow pupils. Loved it.Helen Flood
