Topics
SEAMLESS
Digital adaptation and human transformation.
How do you design frictionless customer experiences where customers can seamlessly navigate between digital and analog touchpoints?
This is the main question Anders explores in this thought-provoking keynote. Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality and the Internet of Things are enabling more and more brands to become truly ’seamless’.
This presentation will provide you with fascinating case studies and best practices from smart brands that understand how intelligent technologies can amplify customer service, create compelling customer experiences, remove friction, and transform our lives.
THIS BESPOKE TAILORED PRESENTATION WILL PROVIDE:
-
A futurephile’s guide to creating seamlessness for your brand and organization
DIGILOGUE
How to win the digital minds and analog hearts of tomorrow’s customers.
As some organizations careen recklessly into the digital future and others are left behind by remaining steeped in the ways of old, thought leaders are coming to realize there is an important middle ground. Most often that’s where your customers and clients want you to be, the place where digital and analog converge – the ‘digilogue’. In the digilogue it is understood that digital satisfies a customer’s mind while analog soothes the heart.
KNOWING WHERE THIS PLACE IS DEMANDS:
-
An understanding of the parts of your business that simply cannot be allowed to go digital
-
An intimate knowledge of the customer experience, of the touch points that thrill them, that speak to their hearts and not their heads
-
An understanding of how your organization tells its story to its public
-
A recognition of the artisanal skill, or customer service, that keeps customers coming back
Every business must know where its middle ground lies, where the old-school artisan meets the efficiency and power of the future. This customized presentation will help your people find where that place is.
