Meet Connie Moore at the OPEX Business Transformation Summit hosted by IQPC. This event targets business leaders who are driving their organizations towards process excellence (OPEX) in the digital era. As part of the pre-conference Customer Experience Day, Connie will deliver a workshop on marrying process excellence with the customer journey, using examples from leading organizations that are designing process hand in hand with customer journey mapping. On day one of the main conference program, Connie will participate in a panel discussion entitled “Spotlight on Culture and Change,” in which participants provide guidance on organizational change management.

Speakers represent industry leaders such as AT&T, eBay, Wells Fargo, Eli Lilly, Kellogg’s, Merck, Intel, and Swarovski.
