TIGER Talk

Becoming Customer-Centric, for Davids and Goliaths (LIVESTREAM)

April 8 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

This event has a NEW DATE:

Friday April 8. 

Please register by 10 pm on Thu Apr 7.
At 11 pm, we’ll email you a Zoom link to access the LIVESTREAM the next day.

While established companies aspire to be customer-obsessed at scale, start-ups are exploiting opportunities to deliver experiences, like Dollar Shave Club or PillPack, and creating billions in new value. Why were those success stories from start-ups and not from the established companies? And how can you spot and solve those opportunities, even in categories that look well-tilled?

Whether you’re a Goliath looking for “Goliath’s Revenge” or a David planning to disrupt a category, this TIGER Talk by strategist and innovation leader Gretchen Goffe will give you an actionable framework to use in your business at a personal and enterprise level. Gretchen will introduce the “4 Keys to Customer-Centricity” – how to embody empathy and deliver empathy at scale – to solve ‘little’ friction points and develop new ‘Big I’ revenue opportunities – with plenty of real-world examples.
