Cx Strategy: The offer you can’t refuse

Having a great product and offering good service is a minimum requirement in today’s market space. It’s your ticket to ride, not your ticket to win. And the same can be said about digital convenience.

Convenience is a commodity these days: if you have it, ‘fine’; if you don’t, it becomes a negative differentiator. Buying a quality product in a convenient way creates a strong transactional relationship but if you want to give your customers ‘an offer they can’t refuse’, you need to do more.

Transform the role of humans in CX: When digital becomes human

There is an urgent need for an extreme transformation of the customer relationship. Customers live in a world of self-service, big data, customer automation and the integration of the online & offline world.

Failing to implement the digital relationship puts your company’s future on the line. A successful digital transformation is key but it will not be enough.

Customer Experience and AI: Customers the day after tomorrow

Artificial Intelligence has the power to change the customer relationship forever. We all believe tech is cool and shiny but our focus on the tech part can blind us to other aspects.

In this keynote Steven demonstrates that not tech but customer benefits should be the guiding star in your decision making. Using AI to create faster than real time service, hyper personalized offerings and the highest convenience levels possible generate value for your organization.
