Experience Management Boot Camp

Learn and Apply Essential XM Principles to Help Your Business Thrive

The UWEBC, in collaboration with Qualtrics XM Institute, is proud to bring this Boot Camp in the Discipline of Experience Management exclusively to the UWEBC network.


UWEBC membership is not required to participate in this Boot Camp.

Organizations invest in Experience Management (XM) because they recognize that systematically improving the experiences they deliver will generate tangible value for their business. The more we learn about how people process experiences, the more we can shape the experiences we deliver to create the outcomes that matter most. Organizations will increasingly need new leaders that can see the financial and strategic value of XM and break through silos to create the experiences that differentiate their organization.

XM is the discipline of driving actions based on an ongoing flow of insights about how human beings think, feel, and behave. This encompasses human beings across an organization’s ecosystem, from customers to employees to partners and more. This Boot Camp teaches the core principles to build and mature a successful XM program, enabling your organization to make smarter, faster decisions. Doing so will provide your organization with tangible business and strategic value.

Following three synchronous virtual sessions instructed by experts from Qualtrics XM Institute, attendees will fortify their learning by participating in three virtual collaborative learning sessions with classmates, facilitated by UWEBC Customer Service Practice Director Matthew Cone, to share and discuss experiences related to applying the methods, processes, and tools learned in the class.
