Alisha Hightower, Delta Dental on executive storytelling: Data alone doesn’t inspire actions - often it’s too complex; most data sits unused, so a story is integral to making it actionable 1/

David Massey, UPS, on design thinking and #CX: we throw solutions at problems without knowing we are solving the right problem; design thinking is a “get it done” framework that is like “measure twice, cut once” - build the right thing, not just A THING 1/

Had a fantastic time at the North East Contact Center Forum Expo yesterday, soaking in a uniquely New Englander vibe and connecting with our neighbors. Lots of great chats about how we can help contact centers solve their problems.

Jaysa Boyer of Ultimate Medical Academy: if you spend 20% of your work time on something you love, it significantly decreases burnout; burnout can be from overload, a lack of challenge, or neglect

Amazing presentation on leadership by Bobby Thompson of Beamer Homes: Ask those you lead about what they need that they’re not getting; provide training that’s not just compliance; create a culture of trust and safety

Nancy-Ellen Martin of ThredUp: Don’t build #AI based on process maps without “walking the floor” first to discover the unwritten steps the CSRs actually do

Fireside Chat on moving from a pilot to a full implementation: Natalie Beckerman, IHG: they looked to #AI when they couldn’t support all of the languages they needed; a pilot gave them the chance to innovate and convince the C-suite to say YES

Session on channel strategy: It used to be that 42% of customers go to a brand’s website to find an answer, but with search engine results containing LLM summaries, which a brand has no control of, that is plummeting

Sean Albertson of CXRocks: 56% of customers are using multi-channel journeys and they expect the #CX to be seamless and easy; but the people, data, and CX are siloed

Pamela Fusting, TN Dept of Human Services, leading discussion on building an #AI governance in the #ContactCenter: when dealing with privacy/security questions, agree on risk management, identify barriers (guardrails around #LLM use and a CSR training plan)

Sean Minter of AmplifAI: Bringing #AI into the #ContactCenter can mean you can get insights on all calls rather than a small amount that can be listened to

Nate Brown: Find a balance - “Make the quick things quick and the slow things meaningful.” Automate WELL and make those effortless (thanks for the reinforcement, Nate!) and when you go deeper, take the time to make that special
