Should We be Talking About "Replacing" or "Assisting"?
While much of the current debate about automation focuses on the potential for mass unemployment, people still have a critical role in developing, training, and working alongside machines to produce the return that brands aspire.
In the relatively near "new normal", the digital customer relationship has a tendency to become a commodity. However, people can still do something that machines cannot: they can inject emotion into the customer relationship. This poses a new challenge to global CX leaders, requiring a new degree of cooperation between workers and technology. Combining digital and human customer relationship is the only way for most brands to survive in the so-called "new normal".
What will "normal" look like?
On May 6 we hosted a new session of our ‘Path to New Normal’ webinar series to learn how top tier global brands are innovating, differentiating and preparing themselves to win in the so called ‘New Normal.
- What does the future of customer relationship look like?
- Will automation become the new normal?
- Will the ‘new normal’ be more human or digital?
- ...so, what needs to be done?
Path to the New Normal
The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the way we work, study, have fun, and connect. Once this crisis is over, we will finally get back to normal. But, in the face of how we are living and what we are experiencing today, how can life ever be what it used to?
This moment is the perfect time to collectively reflect on the lessons learned as we reinvent what normal will look like from now on.
“Path to the New Normal” is a weekly Leader Insights Roundtable Digital Event Series, featuring industry and Teleperformance experts. They will be delivering key learnings around topics such as Work-at-Home, Automation, "What’s Next" in Customer Experience, Digital Sales, and more.
Organized and curated by Teleperformance in cities across Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia, our roundtable sessions, which focus on advice and guidance in particular fields, are an excellent opportunity for business leaders to meet with industry subject matter experts.
