Meridian — Beyond NPS
The trip ends on Day 5.
The data runs for 90+ days after.
Every vendor will tell you the trip was a success. We'll show you exactly what changed — in your team, in your culture, in measurable behavior — from baseline to 90 days out and beyond.
What Is Meridian
Proprietary intelligence. Built for leadership teams that need proof.
Meridian is CDV's proprietary transformation tracking and intelligence platform. It begins before your team leaves and keeps measuring for 90 days after they come home — or up to a full year, if your organization wants to track through an entire performance cycle.
The result is not a survey — it's a live dashboard your leadership can monitor in real time, plus a board-ready executive summary that connects program investment directly to measurable behavior change.
For the first time, your CFO can see a direct line between the spend and the outcome.

Competitive Advantage
Built for a question no one else is answering.
Most platforms measure the event. Meridian measures the people — before, during, and long after they come home. Here's what that actually looks like.
AI Narrative Engine
Meridian drafts your board report automatically. Raw data becomes a structured executive narrative — editable, exportable, ready to present. No analyst required.
Predictive Retention Signals
Pre-trip sentiment baselines + 30 and 90-day engagement patterns flag who’s at flight risk before they update their LinkedIn. HR gets a signal, not a surprise.
Network Relationship Mapping
Anonymous peer recognition data is visualized as a live connection graph — showing which relationships strengthened, which teams became more cohesive, and where isolation signals exist.
Slack & Teams Integration
Pulse surveys delivered where your team already works. No separate app download required. Completion rates go up. Friction goes to zero.
Cohort Year-Over-Year Tracking
Run a program in 2025. Run another in 2026. Meridian shows you exactly what carried forward, what regressed, and what your program cadence should be to sustain change.
ESG & Sustainability Reporting
Community impact data — local economic retention, family supplier network, carbon offset estimates — packaged directly into your corporate sustainability report. One program, two reports.
Custom KPI Integration
Connect Workday, Salesforce, or your internal HR system. Meridian correlates program outcomes with your own performance data — pipeline velocity, quota attainment, eNPS — to close the attribution loop completely.
Live Sentiment Feed
During the program, your CDV program director sees a real-time sentiment dashboard. If energy drops, we adjust before the moment is lost — not after the survey comes back.
Open Data Export
Your data is yours. Export to Excel, CSV, or PDF with one click — or connect directly through our API if your team wants to build on top of it. No lock-in. No gatekeeping.
Biometric-Ready Architecture
For programs that want to go deeper — optional wearable integration captures stress, recovery, and engagement signals during high-intensity activities. Coming 2026.

One data point. One moment in time.
"Did people enjoy themselves?" — useful, but it doesn't tell you what changed, whether it lasted, or whether it was worth the investment.

"NPS tells you if people liked it.
— CDV Measurement Philosophy
Meridian tells you if it meant anything."
The biggest platforms in the industry track logistics. Not one of them tracks your people for 90 days after the program ends. We do — and we can keep going for a full year.
Meridian isn't event management software. It's a behavioral intelligence platform that happens to run alongside the best travel experiences on the planet. The standard arc runs 90 days. For organizations that want to track through a full performance cycle, we extend to 12 months — connecting your program directly to annual retention, engagement, and review data. Ask the other vendors to show you their 90-day data. Then ask us.
