Written by Lancom Communications, June 2022

Lancom Technology, a leading software and technology provider serving Australia and New Zealand, has announced Matt Watkinson, an award-winning authority on customer experience (CX), will be visiting Aotearoa in July to run CX masterclasses for its customers and partners.

Matt Watkinson is a leading global authority on CX and is the author of The Ten Principles Behind Great Customer Experiences, The Grid and Mastering Uncertainty (available later this year). Matt is a popular keynote speaker for global organisations including American Express, ARM, Bupa, the FBI, HSBC, IBM, Ogilvy, Salesforce and VW.

Waruna Kirimetiyawa, Chief Executive for Lancom Technology said: “A remarkable CX is critical to the sustained growth of any business. A positive CX promotes loyalty, helps you retain customers, and encourages brand advocacy. It’s something all our customer and partners have in common, regardless of their industry, vertical or size, which is why I am so excited to be bringing Matt Watkinson to New Zealand.”

Matt Watkinson said: “I can’t wait to get back to Auckland, and share my thoughts on customer experience, which have continued to evolve since my last visit to New Zealand in 2018. I’m looking forward to providing some practical advice on how to structure and execute CX programs that deliver real-world results, based on everything I’ve learned from my involvement in these sorts of initiatives over the last decade.”

Lancom Technology will be running two events with Matt Watkinson. A leader’s breakfast keynote will be taking place on Wednesday, 13 July and a SaaS customer experience workshop will be running on Thursday, 14 July.  To express interest in attending the events click here.
