Rob Rush, CEO of LRA Worldwide, Inc., and Mike Colbourn, Vice President of Marketing for Stowe Mountain Resort, will co-present a case study at the upcoming Cornell Hospitality Research Summit (CHRS) titled "Transforming Stowe Mountain Resort to the Aspen of the East."
Horsham, PA, September 26, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Rob Rush, CEO of LRA Worldwide, Inc., and Mike Colbourn, Vice President of Marketing for Stowe Mountain Resort, will co-present a case study at the upcoming Cornell Hospitality Research Summit (CHRS) on Monday, October 8th at 2:00 PM. Titled "Transforming Stowe Mountain Resort to the Aspen of the East," the presentation will focus on LRA's work to help Stowe better understand the needs of its shifting customer base as the resort invested in a physical transformation from "ski mountain" to "five-star resort."
"We all understood the physical transformation that would take place at Stowe, but LRA has been our guide in the cultural transformation," explained Colbourn. "The case study outlines how LRA has helped us define and identify the new customer segments that are coming to Stowe and how to engage them emotionally in the Stowe experience. The key takeaway from the case study is that this approach has yielded better financial results, even in years where the ski industry as a whole has suffered."
The LRA-Stowe case study is part of the "Service Experience Management" track at the CHRS, which will be held October 8-9 on the Cornell University campus in Ithaca, NY. The other presenters during this session are Jonathan Douglas, Managing Principal of VOA Associates Incorporated, and Mary Beth McEuen, Executive Director of the Maritz Institute.
"We are pleased to have Rob and LRA as presenters once again," said Rohit Verma, Conference Chair, CHRS. "Their presentation is illustrative of the power of research to serve as a strategic tool in all facets of an operation – marketing, operations and human resources."
The Cornell Center for Hospitality Research organizes this bi-annual event, which was designed to allow leaders in the hospitality industry and academia to share "thought leadership" in a variety of areas of interest, including customer satisfaction & loyalty, branding, revenue management, social media and sustainability. This year, the CHRS is being used as a platform to celebrate the Center's 20th Anniversary.
