Earlier this month, we invited Forrester Analyst, Brandon Purcell, to share his thoughts on practical AI applications in Customer Experience. The thought-provoking session included an interactive element; with Brandon inviting the audience to debunk certain AI myths.
“AI is best applied in bite-sizes rather than in a huge gulp – addressing a few key business objectives with AI for quick wins is far more likely to succeed than trying to make big organisation leaps.” – Sharifah Amirah, President, Intent HQ Americas
An exclusive invite-only event at the British Residence in New York, we were joined by executives from U.S telecoms and marketing services firms. Forrester CX & AI Principal Analyst, Brandon Purcell led the discussion, pointing to several recent successes and failures of AI applications, and discussed some “truths and lies” surrounding AI. Mr. Antony Phillipson, Her Majesty’s Trade Commissioner for North America and Consul General in New York was the host, and joined the engaging dialogue on demystifying AI and the reality of its potential applications.
Because a customer’s experience has now become more important than prices or products, the primarily Telco audience was interested in learning how AI can help create fabulous customer experiences. AI can enable insights from data and more effectively personalize experiences for customers. Brandon showed that AI can be applied successfully for important business goals, such as retaining customers and increasing revenue, and discussed how best to implement AI across the functional silos of a company.
In the Q&A, participants agreed that while technology is essential, organizational issues are often just as important to the implementation of AI-driven change.
Intent HQ President of Americas, Sharifah Amirah concluded the discussion saying, “AI is best applied in bite-sizes rather than in a huge gulp – addressing a few key business objectives with AI for quick wins is far more likely to succeed than trying to make big organisational leaps.”
Get in touch to discuss how we apply AI to help other Telcos like Telefonica O2 and Verizon.
If attention is the new currency, there simply isn’t enough of it to go around. Click-through rates are in the gutter, adblock use is growing, free reach on social isn’t free anymore, and organic search traffic is declining.
We were at the Customer Experience Conference for Financial Services #CXC2017 this week where the focus was on design, relevance and GDPR. Kudos to the organisers for bringing together an interesting selection of speakers.
In this podcast episode, our Chief Revenue Officer, Jonathan Woolf, sits down with Nicky Daniels from Innovation Martlesham to dive into the world of telcos and explore how big data and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing the industry.
Telcos are at an inflection point. For years, they’ve faced mounting pressure from better-funded, more innovative tech competitors, and seen a return on investment, profits and market share slowly dwindle.
