Loyalty Engineering represents an
“idea virus”* by
Leslie Cox
to build a new profession called the
loyalty engineer. A new profession
grows out of a documented body of
knowledge, a professional
development framework, and an
increasing body of captured
experiential knowledge for
continuous professional growth. The
Loyalty Engineering website delivers
these resources. In the future, it
will deliver a business case for
managers on why they should fund a
loyalty engineer and how to measure
the bottom-line impact of this role
to profitability, quality and
customer value.

* In his book “Unleashing the Idea
Virus”, Seth Godin defines an idea
virus as “a big idea that runs amok
across the target audience. It’s a
fashionable idea that propagates
through a section of the population,
teaching and changing and
influencing everyone it touches." |
