Structure and learning concept

Setting up the course

Der Lehrgang verbindet zehn Module mit einem Kick-off, einem Workshop und einer Abschlusspräsentation. Sie arbeiten an einem eigenen Customer-AI-Use-Case. Der Umfang beträgt 40 Lerneinheiten à 45 Minuten einschließlich 10 Lerneinheiten Selbststudium.

What it is about

Customers are changing faster than traditional market research, static personas, and isolated data analyses can capture. Today, companies need a new understanding of what truly motivates customers, what needs will emerge tomorrow, and how to turn these insights into better products, services, communication, and business decisions.

Our goal is to provide you with a sound understanding of how to practically apply customer centricity, AI-driven customer insights, digital customer twins, and customer-in-the-loop within your company.

You will learn how to recognize, evaluate, prioritize, and translate relevant customer signals into concrete actions. The focus is not on technology for technology's sake, but on a central management question:

How do we make better decisions by truly understanding customers, placing them at the center of our actions with new AI options, and consistently involving them in hypotheses, measures, and outcomes?

Teaching methods

As a participant in this course, you will receive a structured, practical approach to key questions of modern customer centricity in the AI era: from customer insights and digital customer twins to generative AI and customer-in-the-loop, as well as use cases, processes, governance, and measurable customer success.

You work on real-world issues from your company, reflect on existing customer assumptions, and develop concrete approaches to improve customer understanding, decision-making quality, and implementation speed.

What makes this course special

Modern customer centricity rarely fails because companies talk too little about customers. It fails because customer insights emerge too slowly, provide too little guidance for action, or are not consistently translated into decisions, processes, and responsibilities.

This is precisely where this course comes in: it combines customer centricity with AI, digital customer twins, and customer-in-the-loop. Participants learn to better understand customers, test assumptions more reliably, and derive concrete measures with measurable benefits from them.

In addition to understanding core methods, participants gain a realistic picture of how customer AI initiatives are implemented in companies: with suitable data, clear roles, robust use cases, governance, data protection awareness, and a consistent focus on customer impact.

At the same time, the course offers a practical approach to generative AI, digital customer twins, AI-supported analytics, and the development of concrete customer AI use cases. This creates a program that combines customer understanding, technology, implementation, and entrepreneurial added value.

  • From Customer Understanding to Customer Success: The course does not stop at analysis, personas, or tools. It shows how customer insights are turned into concrete decisions, experiments, measures, and results.
  • Digital Customer Twins as the next evolutionary stage of personas: Participants learn how static persona profiles can be developed into dynamic, data- and hypothesis-based Digital Customer Twins.
  • Customer-in-the-Loop as a management principle: Hypotheses, measures, and results are consistently linked with customer signals and validated.
  • AI as an accelerator for customer insights: Generative AI, data analysis, customer feedback, interviews, CRM data, support data, research, and market information are combined to create a faster insight process.
  • Own use case with clear ownership: Each participant works on their own relevant use case and develops a concrete implementation approach from it.
  • Measurable customer impact: The course helps make impact visible and communicate customer success to management, business units, and stakeholders.
  • High reliance on transfer payments: The goal is not only the acquisition of knowledge, but also its reflective application in the respective corporate context.
