WHY ATTEND?

Customer Response Summit is more than a conference – it’s an experience!

Community is at the heart of everything we do and CRS is no different! CRS is an intimate and laser-focused forum, providing outstanding opportunities to engage with some of the brightest minds in customer leadership – “Leaders Learning From Leaders.”

The strength of this forum is due to its innovative design, brilliant discussions, interactive sessions and workshops, brand showcases, exclusive networking opportunities, and engaging activities. If you ask our past attendees, they’ll tell you – CRS is like nothing you’ve experienced before.

Mix all of that with some much-needed after-hours fun and memorable moments you just can’t miss.

Transformation with a Capital T: Leading Disruption in a Legacy Organization

Organizational transformations are hard work; for legacy businesses, it’s even harder. So, how can established brands reinvent themselves and their industry through radical innovation?

Join Michael Hopkins, Senior Vice President of Sales and Service at Blue Nile, as he shares why transformations are about the people in the organization as much as they’re about the initiatives. As a servant leader, Michael is committed to promoting innovation, empowering employees, and assuring the well-being of those around him.

Transformation creates a clear distinction between people who are there for the next evolutionary stage a brand is going through and those who are not. While transformation success isn’t contingent upon the front line alone, many seem to miss the mark when it comes to involving frontline leadership in the effort. A transformation’s success requires that people across the organization raise their ambitions, develop different skills, challenge existing cultural mindsets, and commit fully to the execution of the vision and high-level change story.

Discover how Blue Nile is working to eliminate the bureaucracy that restricts its ability to deliver great CX, became the first intelligent luxury transparent marketplace where customers can shop and compare diamonds, and enabled its customer-centric organization to move toward a state of continual transformation—producing extraordinary and sustainable results.
