KLM takes the train more often - Lecture Beautiful Lives and KLM at MIE’23
On May 9 and 10, the 21st edition of the Marketing Insights Event (MIE) will take place in the Jaarbeurs Utrecht. With no less than 70 lectures, workshops and master classes covering the latest trends and developments in insights, marketing and data.
We will also speak at the MIE. Together with Hans Zijlstra (Director Customer & Market Insight Air France KLM), colleague Maurice Palmen will give the lecture ‘KLM takes the train more often’ on Tuesday afternoon, May 9.
What is the reading about?
In an interview with Daily Data Bytes, Hans describes our lecture as follows: “Sustainability is an important theme for KLM. As part of that process, we are looking how we can replace short flights within Europe with train journeys for passengers transferring at Schiphol. But we off course want to offer these travelers the same standard of service as on our flights. Beautiful Lives’ extensive and innovative customer research has helped us to find out which bottlenecks travelers encounter on such a journey, and what we need to improve. But we only got these important insights by involving the travelers themselves in various ways.”
The lecture will be in Dutch.
