CX Location Decision-Making:
Aligning Customer Culture with the Nearshore Destination's Culture

KM² Solutions / Nearshore Americas Webinar

The concept of cultural alignment has been a longstanding feature of the Nearshore model. However what often gets overlooked is how the organizational culture of the customer plays an influential role in determining the level of compatibility that organization has with the local Nearshore location. As partners seek the ideal Nearshore destination, considerations around styles of work and communication, interest in US brands, and overall attitude around the delivery of customer service are among several key considerations that clients, and their CX partners, need to examine. Our Nearshore America webinar unpacked this discussion with several experienced members of the Nearshore community, including:

  • Charlotte Banks (Director, Vendor Management) from Farmers Insurance
  • Caroll Guzman (Director of HR) KM2 Solutions
  • Jeff Santana (Director of Operations. Dominican Republic) KM2 Solutions
