Employee Experience Leaders Network

Creating EX-Centric Organizations

The Employee Experience Leaders Network (EXLN) is a global network of people building a better Human Experience at the organizations where we work. Our network was formed to share ‘what works’ and to shape the future direction of EX. We are EX Heads and others doing People Analytics, Design Thinking, Journey Mapping, and creating Physical and Digital Workspace – in a variety of applications.

We meet live and virtually to learn from each other and go deeper into the disciplines of EX that drive a better workplace experience and better CX. We share our EX stories, learn new skills, share new tech, get inspired by what others are doing and co-create ‘what’s next’ for EX.

Most EX Heads are doing their role for the first time. Both new and more seasoned EX Heads express a strong desire to meet others with their same role, and learn how they are building EX in their organizations. We invite you to join our global Employee Experience (EX) Leaders Network – a group of founding EX-Pioneers and EX Leaders from across industries and geographies – and together let’s promote and shape EX.

The EX Leaders Network is a Kennedyfitch initiative.

Connecting you with other leaders

We meet many EX leaders every month. Chances are, someone we know is a few steps ahead of you in solving similar problems. We’re happy to make an introduction and facilitate a conversation on a topic important to you. 

1-day regional EX Leader Network events 

Our events are interactive learning workshops featuring top EX practitioners, mixed with small group discussion, learning activities and co-creation vs. listening to endless presentations. We choose speakers from our research who represent the best in human-centered EX.

Webinars

We bring to you EX practitioners across the spectrum of CX, Human-Centered Design and Design Thinking, Agile Methodology, cutting-edge Digital EX, etc. who have transformed their business culture. We like to showcase great EX across industries and geographies.

Half-Day workshops

EX is about a new way of thinking and working, starting at the top. We bring our research, case studies and stories on the Future of Work, EX/CX foundations, and interactive learning workshops to your Executive, HR or other functional leadership teams, adapting to your needs. 

2 Day HR Off-site

We give your HR colleagues an immersive experience with EX, by mapping journeys on their own Moments that Matter (MTM’s), helping them select one to make a Wow! MTM in a Hackathon and in a Design Sprint simulation, creating a working prototype of their Wow! MTM.

2 Day Bootcamp

We help your EX team build critical skills for creating great EX and Wow! MTM’s, starting with pre-work Empathy exercises, creating personas and journey maps. In a 2-day workshop, we validate those maps, and ideate and create prototypes, learning agile methods along the way. 

1-1 Coaching

We have a good understanding of your challenges and what it takes to engage others in your organization and how to deliver results. We help you assess your learning needs and design your own coaching roadmap, and coach you at various stages of creating EX. 

EX Mastery Certification Program

Our online learning takes you through ‘EX Pillars’ including Behavior Science and what motivates us, how to use Design Thinking and Agile frameworks, how to create personas, map journeys, develop human-centered digital tools and business-driven Analytics – all based on real-life cases.

EX Resources

You have access to our 3 years of case studies and surveys and articles, plus research and articles from a wealth of other sources on CX, EX, Analytics, Journey Mapping, Agile frameworks, etc. Consulting clients will have access to our EX toolkit.
