The ongoing brand loyalty crisis is seeing organisations compete fiercely to build fruitful relationships with consumers. Winning customer loyalty in a state of flux is already challenging enough, but couple that with variable consumer desires and it becomes harder than ever.

Customer needs and expectations don’t just change over time; their preferences can now alternate within the same journey. In fact, 83% of EMEA consumers consider a choice of engagement methods to be an important element of customer service.

In partnership with Opinium, we recently conducted our annual Consumer Voice Report for 2024 to explore the consumer habits and preferences of 15,000 adults across EMEA. While it’s clear that the brand loyalty crisis is here to stay, organisations can still build long-lasting relationships with customers. What it takes are flexible strategies that adapt to consumer desires.

Join our webinar, Strategies to tackle the brand loyalty crisis, to find out how you can do exactly this, with the discussion set to centre around: 

- What engagement methods customers expect at different stages of their journeys
- Why organisations must find the right balance between high tech and high touch
- How to action these insights within your own company to create a long-term CX strategy for success
Don’t miss out. Watch now.

Strategies to Tackle the Brand Loyalty Crisis

Like many other organizations following the principles of global business services (GBS), ServiceNow is committed to driving efficiency and impact at scale within our own enterprise, while providing all employees with great experiences.

Join us for this webinar to see how we’re achieving GBS success by using our very own Now Platform® and how you can too.

Explore the story of how we’ve used ServiceNow solutions to deliver results including:
- $175m average suppler discounting savings
- 60% PO cycle time improvement
- 80% HR self-service rate

Speakers:
Tom Parisi, Chief Transformation Officer, ServiceNow
Nate Aschenbach,VP, Digital Technology Applications, ServiceNow
Kelly Kent, SVP, People Operations, ServiceNow

Driving GBS outcomes at scale

Many source-to-pay processes are weighed down by disconnected divisions, groups, and working processes across the organization. Without an automated, centralized, and standardized source-to-pay process, costs and risks are typically high.

Fortunately, global business services and shared services organizations are disrupting ineffective source-to-pay work patterns by helping to eliminate manual tasks, connect end-to-end processes, and squeeze more value from legacy systems. For example, one technology client achieved:

20% improvement in procurement operational efficiency
Over 10,000 hours of annual time freed up for the procurement team to focus on higher value work
Improved experience is delivering 5+ points increase in NPS
Our webinar agenda includes:

- How ServiceNow is built for service delivery transformation
- How and why source-to-pay processes are expanding to GBS/shared services models
- How to think about enabling value in source-to-pay
- Join our webinar and discover how you can automate source-to-pay with standardized global business services to - achieve hard cost savings and growth at scale.

Speakers:
Cara Herrick, Director, Product Marketing Employee Workflows, ServiceNow
Mark Labedz, Director, Product Marketing, Finance and Supply Chain Workflows, ServiceNow

Transform source-to-pay with GBS for lower costs, higher efficiency

While European companies are projected to spend over $241 bn on software in 2024, alarming amounts of investments are still going to waste – and the question is, why?

Without a holistic view to plan and act strategically, companies cannot escape siloed, disconnected tools, higher risks and manual, error-prone work.

Attend our virtual workshop where ServiceNow’s James, Sankhadeep and Tim will show you how, with the combined power of SAM and APM, you can take full control of your estate, optimise usage and action compliance fixes, while planning tech refreshes and rationalising apps.

After the session, you’ll walk away with a solid understanding of how you can answer these questions and build a plan for seven-figure savings or more:
- What software do you own and what’s the cost?
- Are you buying what you need? Where should you invest?
- Do you have all the rights you need for everything you are using and where you are using it?
- Are you using what you have? Or do you have unused software sitting on the shelf?

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to supercharge returns with what you already have, or what you could achieve after integrating SAM and APM on the Now Platform.
