CustomerThink Launches CustomerExperienceOne, a New Thought Leader Community Focused on Customer Experience Management (CEM)

BURLINGAME, Calif. (PRWEB); Mar. 17, 2011 -- CustomerThink (www.customerthink.com), the world's largest community focused on Customer-centric Business Management (CBM), has launched a new online community -- www.CustomerExperienceOne.com.

CustomerThink has been covering Customer Experience Management (CEM) extensively for the past five years as a core editorial topic, and has the world's largest collection of CEM-related content. According to CustomerThink Founder/CEO Bob Thompson, "creating a differentiated customer experience is critical to stand out in today's competitive global market. Over the past 10 years, we've consistently found in our research that the customers experience drives loyalty as much as the functional value of purchased product/service."

A Founders Council of CEM thought leaders and practitioners will provide guidance to the mission and direction of the community. Council members include:

* Lior Arussy -- President, Strativity Group (United States)
* Leigh Durst -- Principal, Live Path (United States)
* Michael Hinshaw -- Managing Director, Mcorp Consulting (United States)

CustomerExperienceOne is an excellent resource to learn about the evolving field of customer experience management and its many dimensions. As an open forum, visitors can take advantage of the opportunity ask questions or comment on postings, to heighten the ongoing learning experience for readers and authors alike."
