SUMMARY:Breakfast and Masterclass: “Net Promoter Score: Fact and Fiction in Strategy Planning”
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://business.rice.edu/event/breakfast-and-masterclass-net-promoter-score-fact-and-fiction-strategy-planning\nNet Promoter Score: Fact and Fiction in Strategy Planning\nMany companies’ strategic plans use Net Promoter Score (NPS) as the basis of strategy\, believing higher scores lead to higher sales growth. This masterclass will share decades of peer-reviewed research discussing the misuse of Promoter Score as a strategic metric and better alternatives for strategy planning. The Customer Value Index (CVI) is a superior metric that not only provides deeper customer insights but also predicts sales growth and stock price. \nJoin Rice Business Executive Education at the Ion on Tuesday\, January 14\, for Professor Vikas Mittal’s next masterclass on the use\, misuse and abuse of Net Promoter Score (NPS) in strategy planning. \nThis complimentary event is open to the public\, hosted by Rice Business Executive Education and the Ion and sponsored by C-CUBES (the Center for Customer-Based Execution and Strategy).
