Steven Keith

The most successful companies in the world don't just treat their customers as revenue, they architect entire functions around them. In this compelling keynote, Steven Keith draws on three decades of building experience organizations inside companies like Google, IBM, and GE to reveal why dedicated CX functions are the hidden engine behind sustained innovation. Using his signature "Empathy Engineering" methodology, Keith shows how systematically embedding empathy into organizational design transforms customer relationships from transactional exchanges into long-term economic drivers. This talk challenges the conventional wisdom that CX is a support function and makes the case that it belongs at the strategic core of every growth-minded enterprise.
