Tune in as we share real-talk conversations between women working in CX and those influencing the CX agenda from the periphery too.
‘Are you ready for the rise of the machine customers?’, with Sirte Pihlaja
Are you ready for the rise of the machine customer? With Gartner predicting that by 2027, 50% of us will be using AI personal assistants in our daily lives, they could be here much sooner than anticipated.
Joined by Sirte Pihlaja, CEO of Shirute, listen to episode #706 now as we explore what machine customers are, how they’re set to impact the future of CX and EX, and as CX leaders, what we should be thinking about now to ensure we’re equipped for their arrival.
‘Could CX frameworks be killing innovation?,’ with Maria McCann
With fewer barriers today, why aren’t we making the inroads that we should be? That’s the question raised by Maria McCann, Co-Founder of Neos Wave, in episode #705.
Citing the stagnant transformation failure rate, a lack of reduction in cost to serve, and declining customer satisfaction, Maria explains why she believes that industrial-sized CX frameworks are to blame.
‘If empathy isn’t the answer, what is?’, with Andreena Leeanne
If empathy isn’t the answer, what is? Joined by Andreena Leeanne, a Lived Experience Speaker and the Author of the poetry book ‘Charred’, in episode #704, she and Clare explore the concept of intersectionality and its importance when creating spaces for others to show up as their full, authentic selves, discuss whether it’s truly possible to empathise with someone whose lived experience is different to that of our own and foreground why “not seeing” race, colour, and gender isn’t enough if we’re to create a kinder, more inclusive world for everyone.
‘Does the customer experience community really need Women in CX?’, with Ian Golding
Joined by Global CX Specialist, Ian Golding, in episode #703, he and Clare discuss the need for support and collaboration in an industry that often leaves us feeling isolated, foreground the importance of recognising our own privilege, and address the scepticism surrounding the need for women’s communities in 2024.
‘Why CX is failing and what we need to do about it’, with Diane Magers
With some “cheeky” questions for former CEO of the CXPA, Diane Magers, in episode #702, Clare and Diane debate the metrification of CX and how it’s become synonymous with a score, the mindset, skills and capabilities we need as CX leaders to succeed not just today but in the next generation, and how we can create clear business value in the here and now, ensuring, that like marketing and sales, our jobs are safe.
