As we integrate AI into our daily lives, we must decide if it is enhancing, or diminishing the beauty and depth of our human experiences.

Michael is so smart and immensely passionate about #CX and I feel very lucky that he wanted to write this with me. Most credit should go to Michael as it was inspired by him. This all came about because we were chatting after a recent podcast we did, and a fun fact came out that Michael is a quadruple! We got talking about twins and the like, and this topic of the digital twin

Untangling Customer Journey Maps with A.I.
Luke Jamieson
May 01, 2023
To me, they felt like they were something consultants used to manifest their worth. Don’t get me wrong I think that there is absolutely a place for CX consultancy. The best CX consultants have an innate ability to sniff out moments of friction in a customer journey like a bloodhound to a bone, but that’s not always easy to build a business case around. So instead, customer journey maps become a line item and a point of focus
How Resilience Helps Build Employee Engagement
Luke Jamieson
March 28, 2023
I believe the level of an employee's resilience can have a significant impact on their level of engagement. Resilience is essentially an individual's ability to recover quickly from setbacks, adapt to change, and overcome adversity. When employees are resilient, they are better equipped to handle the stresses and challenges of the workplace, which I believe can positively affect their engagement.

How do you measure employee engagement… and should you?
Luke Jamieson
March 23, 2023
Here in lies the conundrum, because as I and many others have proclaimed there is such a direct correlation between great EX creating great CX it becomes super tempting to work out how to measure employee engagement and then motivate and reward leaders to manage it instead of teaching them how to foster it for the greater good.

Luke’s Future of Work Predictions for 2023
Luke Jamieson
March 21, 2023
The new year brings with it new resolutions, new prospects and a sense of new beginnings. January is typically the month that the market sees a lot of movement. Often this mobility is driven by many companies distributing bonuses and such in December. However, the economic downturn in late 2022 first impacted many Venture Capital (VC) funded start-ups which saw a flood of talent enter the job market and the rest of the market might be catching up.

Only Tesla Drivers Get in Crashes
LinkedIn
February 14, 2023
If you’ve been watching the news of late you could be forgiven for thinking that only Tesla drivers have car accidents. For the most part, only really bad car crashes make the news but not for Tesla. You have a bingle and boom you’re in the news. Why is this? Is it because all Tesla drivers are terrible at driving? Is it the car itself and is it prone to accidents? Of course not. It’s because Tesla is one of the biggest and most recognised brands in the world particularly when it comes to automotive and innovation (and maybe a CEO that seems to draw a headline or two).
Operations Leaders - How’s the Monkey on Your Back?
Centrical
November 03, 2022
Operations managers know that feeling all too well of having a monkey (or 10!) on their backs.
The stories are all the same—customer queues are getting longer, and service agents keep running into challenges. Many of them just feel like they’re better off taking over and saying the magic words, ‘leave it with me.’
And as operational managers take over service calls and front-line customer support, other important parts of their roles are left to the wayside.
This leads to manager burnout, which increased significantly over the course of the pandemic.
As we all know, burnout is not good. So, how can we fix this? How can managers shake the monkeys off their backs, lose the dead weight of menial tasks, and get back to what’s important?
The Great Resignation: Hype, Fact, or Awakening?
Luke Jamieson
November 01, 2022
The Great Resignation—it sounds pretty serious, doesn’t it? It’s likely that many of you reading this have heard this term thrown around in the past few months. The Great Resignation is used to discuss the (apparent) influx in resignations as employees are called back to work in the After-COVID (AC) era. This phenomenon has been covered extensively by the media, such as in this article in the Harvard Business Review.
The Evolved Employee Experience Strategy That Impacts Customers in a Positive Way

September 28, 2022
Think about the last time you had a great customer service experience. The person who helped you went above and beyond to make sure you were happy. They probably smiled, were friendly, and seemed genuinely interested in helping you. Now think about the last time you had a terrible customer service experience. The person who helped you was probably rude, unhelpful, and made you feel like your problem wasn’t important.
Now, take that a step further: how do you think that employee felt about their job? | READ ON:

Using Gamification to Maximise Employee Engagement
ACXPA
September 19, 2022
Gamification is an exciting opportunity to build innovation in our workplaces.
Play as a learning tool works for a number of reasons:
Play suspends us from reality by creating a fun and unique environment.
Play allows our minds to be open to being creative and trying things differently.
Play engages more of our senses and bodies, not just our minds.
Play taps into intrinsic motivators, which are more effective than extrinsic motivators.

2002’s Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones introduced the Kaminoans, a civilization skilled at cloning. Like many skilled at developing specific technologies, the cloners of Kamino didn’t spend much time thinking about the impacts of their work. They were skilled at genetic engineering, and they found customers willing to pay for those skills.
Today, cloning people is still taboo but closing voices, faces, and video imagery of people is big business. Despite the glut of customers willing to pay for these new technologies, questions regarding the ethics and long-term impacts of them remain unanswered. While I didn’t head to the Outer Rim for this conversation, I did enlist the help of Luke Jamieson who lives 9,000 miles away from me. Luke is a Global Thought Leader on the topics of EX, CX, and the future of work.
We discuss:
The key factor impacting AI adoption
The Role of AI in Contact Centers
Evolving communication preferences
Potential Security Risks of Voice Biometrics
The Future of Customer Service
