Q: What is the difference between CXI Ground School and CXI Flight School?
A: CXI Ground School is where you’ll build the foundation for intentional CS initiatives that support your organization’s larger goals.
CXI Flight School is our high-level development experience where CX leaders from around the world learn from Jeannie how to build out their CX programs. Each month, they continue the foundational work that you’ll do in CXI Ground School, working through the Experience Investigators proprietary CXI Navigator™ framework and customizing their mosaic of CX strategies and tools in the 4 key pillars of customer experience.
When you enroll in CXI Ground School, you’ll have access to the exclusive resources within CXI Flight School for 12 weeks (a $1,500 instant savings). Bring your questions about your CX Mission Statement and CX Success Strategy to the monthly Q&A calls … and dive into the other resources as your time and interest allow.
Q: How much time is required to participate in CXI Ground School?
A: We recommend setting aside at least 2-3 hours each week.
You’ll have access to instructional videos that guide you through the process of creating your CX Mission Statement and CX Success Strategy. These videos are available 24/7 in a private online training portal, so you can watch (and rewatch) when and where it’s most convenient for you.
During your 12-week complimentary membership to CXI Flight School, you’ll also have access to a live learning workshop and a live Q&A with Jeannie Walters, CCXP. Each event lasts 1 hour.
If you participate in the action assignments given to CXI Flight School members, you’ll also have action assignments each month, and that’s where the answer becomes “it depends.” Some action assignments may take longer than others. Another variable is whether you are creating your CX program from scratch or you’re starting to uplevel and refine your program.
What’s unique about our approach to CX is that we don’t view customer experience as a linear, A-to-Z checklist. Instead, the CXI Navigator™ model is to build a solid foundation (what we’ll help you do during CXI Ground School), and then you create a unique mosaic of strategies in 4 key areas (what we’ll help you do in CXI Flight School).
For each lesson, we’ll offer guidance for how to implement based on whether you’re just starting out or you’re perfecting an established program.
Q: How long does CXI Ground School last?
A: CXI Ground School is a 12-week experience. We’ll work with you to create a rock-solid foundation for your CX program – one that helps you prioritize CX initiatives, get buy-in and support from key stakeholders, measure and prove ROI, and systematically build a thriving CX program.
When CXI Ground School ends, you’ll be invited to renew your enrollment in CXI Flight School on a quarterly basis. (Remember, you get 12 weeks of complimentary access to CXI Flight School as a part of CXI Ground School.)
You may participate in CXI Flight School indefinitely. There is no official end to the program, because CX is a discipline of continual improvement.
Q: How is CXI Ground School and CXI Flight School different than the CCXP?
A: CXI Ground School and CXI Flight School offer guidance and support from Jeannie Walters, CCXP, CSP, to design, prioritize and implement CX initiatives within your organization. Our goal is to help you gain clarity about what your organization needs and guidance on how to achieve the results you want in the most efficient way possible.
CXI Ground School and CXI Flight School do not prepare you for certification, nor are these programs a certification.
The Certified Customer Experience Professional (CCXP) credential, offered by the Customer Experience Professionals Association, is the marker of a committed customer experience professional who has demonstrated the wide range of knowledge essential to manage the customer experience in today’s challenging environment. We are delighted to refer any CXI Ground School or CXI Flight School members who are interested in the CCXP to a select list of highly qualified CX trainers.
Q: Do you have anything to help me explain the value of CXI Ground School and CXI Flight School to my supervisor?
A: Yes! We’ve prepared an email that you can copy and send to your supervisor. Feel free to add your own comments and/or otherwise tweak the language to suit your needs. You can access the message here.
Q: How will my organization’s privacy be protected?
A: CXI Ground School cohorts work differently than other cohorts you may have belonged to in the past.
Although you will be moving through the program with a group of CX leaders (your cohort), you won’t be sharing or discussing your CX initiatives or CXI Ground School action assignments with your peers.
You’ll have the opportunity to submit assignments to the CXI Ground School team for accountability and for Jeannie’s review. You’ll also be able to volunteer to have Jeannie offer feedback on your submissions during group calls and/or working sessions with your cohort. However, if your submission is chosen for group review, you and your organization will remain anonymous.
