THE GLOBAL EXPERIENCE AUTHORITY

Who We Are

The Global Experience Authority

ICXI — the International Customer Experience Institute — is the global authority for experience measurement, standards, education and recognition. We provide the frameworks organisations use to define, measure and certify customer, employee, patient and AI experience excellence.

Our integrated ecosystem spans eight internationally recognised standards, AI-driven maturity assessments, professional qualifications and data-driven awards. Delivered through a global network of over 250 accredited partners across 45 countries, ICXI sets the benchmark for how organisations understand, improve and demonstrate experience excellence.

We don’t talk about experience excellence. We define it, measure it, teach it and recognise it.

What We Do

ICXI operates across four interconnected pillars — each designed to help organisations move from aspiration to evidence, from intention to independently validated performance.

01

Standards

Eight internationally recognised experience standards providing the definitive framework for organisational excellence. Each standard is BSI-certifiable and covers a distinct dimension of experience management.

02

Assessments

Evidence-based assessment tools that measure, benchmark and diagnose experience maturity. From quick EEI indexes to comprehensive Navigator deep-dives with AI-powered insights.

03

Education

Professional development through the ICXI Academy. From AI-CX certification to executive leadership programmes, building global capability in experience management.

04

Awards

Recognition based entirely on measured performance. No submissions. No judging panels. The Global Experience Excellence Awards flow directly from structured EEI benchmarking data.

The SENMA Pathway

ICXI’s integrated SENMA model — Standards, Essentials, Navigators, Maturity Assessments — provides a structured pathway from initial measurement through to full BSI certification. It means organisations can start wherever they are: a quick EEI assessment to establish a baseline, a Navigator deep-dive to diagnose specific gaps, or direct pursuit of BSI standards certification for those ready for formal validation.

The pathway is designed to be progressive and practical. An organisation might begin with an EEI Essential assessment, progress to a Navigator diagnostic, build capability through ICXI Academy qualifications, and ultimately achieve BSI certification — with EEI Awards recognition at every stage of the journey.

One integrated ecosystem. Eight standards. Three assessment types. Four maturity levels. Global benchmarking. Evidence-based recognition.

What Makes ICXI Different

The experience industry has no shortage of consultancies, conferences and commentary. What it has lacked is a single, integrated authority that connects measurement, certification, education and recognition into one coherent, evidence-based system.

01

Eight internationally recognised standards — not one.

ICXI covers CX, digital CX, employee experience, AI experience, patient experience, travel experience, organisational learning and sustainability. No other institute offers this breadth.

02

Standards certified by BSI — the world’s most respected standards body.

ICXI is the only experience institute whose standards carry BSI certification.

03

AI-powered assessments — the Experience Excellence Index uses artificial intelligence

to diagnose maturity, generate insight reports and produce prioritised improvement roadmaps at speed and scale.

04

Data-driven awards — no submissions, no judging panels.

ICXI awards are earned through measured performance, not marketing spend.

05

A complete ecosystem — standards, assessments, education and awards

are connected through the SENMA model. Each reinforces the others.

06

Global reach, local delivery — over 250 certified partners

across 45 countries deliver ICXI programmes in their markets, languages and sectors.

07

CX, EX, PX and AI — ICXI addresses customer experience,

employee experience, patient experience and AI experience. Because experience excellence spans every touchpoint.

Our Mission

To professionalise customer, employee, patient and AI experience through evidence-based standards, validated assessment, world-class education and data-driven recognition — so that every organisation, in every sector, in every market, can measure where it stands and know what excellence looks like.

Experience excellence is not a project. It is not a department. It is a discipline — and ICXI exists to define, measure and advance that discipline worldwide.
