The Changing Face of Customer Experience

The power of the human touch in a digital world Conundrum or opportunity?

2

I would like to wish all our delegates a very warm welcome to CCA Convention 2017.

Our Convention programme for 2017 features selected keynote speakers who will address the main issues which have risen to the surface from our consultation with industry. The event theme, ‘The Changing Face of Customer Experience’ represents the conundrum that many businesses are facing when it comes to balancing robotic automation, artificial intelligence and human engagement.

For Convention stalwarts, you may recall we looked at ‘The Changing Face of Customer Contact’ in 2010 when economic challenges forced us to understand what customers wanted and how we could best deliver. Technology was top of the agenda with a focus on reducing waste but keeping colleagues engaged.

It seems that technological advancements have made a big impact over this past decade. Many organisations are trying to make sense of how it all comes together; what’s the balance required between machine and automation and intervention from skilled operators? Regardless of what the tipping point is, as an industry we must use our experience and expertise to join forces in creating a blue-print for customer service. I look forward to sharing the challenge with you

Workforce of the Future – An industry-wide initiative

In January, we committed to undertake an industry-wide poll of front-line colleagues and first-line managers. We will launch some of the results over the next two days. Interestingly, it appears our front-line teams are a confident bunch – 92% strongly agree that they have the right skills to do their job well. We look forward to hearing from Ola and Carla as part of our Workforce of the Future session on the 16th November with Leon Smith!

We hope you are all able to join us for a glass of champagne on 15th November and celebrate those organisations who have raised the bar in customer service by achieving CCA Accreditation throughout 2017. You will hear what differentiates these brands in terms of service delivery and we very much hope this will inspire our wider network to ‘raise the bar’.

Finally, we will share with you plans to launch an exciting new initiative in 2018 to manage and respond to the increasingly complex enquiries we receive from across the CCA network. Tapping into the talent and expertise of experienced colleagues will be the central point for our Intelligent Network.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our Annual Convention Sponsors and Research Partners for their contribution to our research agenda and overall support of the Convention. Special thanks also to our Platinum Members who provide the back-drop for Convention content and have supported our agenda throughout 2017.

We also thank you for taking the time to participate in the consultation exercises, completing research surveys, hosting member visits, attending round-tables, presenting, sharing and taking the time to tell us what it is that matters to you most.

I hope you enjoy your time at Convention. If you need any help or have any questions then don’t hesitate to contact a member of the team.

Throughout 2017, Kaye has facilitated various CCA sessions and has hosted discussions and debate with our Industry Council Thought Leadership Forum.

Setting the Scene: Customer transformation and the use of digital Sally Fuller, Product Director, Vodafone Sally will invite us to consider ways in which enterprises need to respond to the demands of the customer of tomorrow with their expectations for fast, available, consistent, joined-up and intelligently personalised communications. As part of this, we will consider omni-channel 2.0 - the response of the contact centre, communications and the IT industry to provide customers with the tools to address these needs.

Sally will also present the preliminary results of recent research conducted for Vodafone by CCA which provides an indication of the degree to which existing contact centres are prepared for the changing and growing needs and expectations of their customers.

Day 1 Programme – 15 November

Innovation Showcase We live in a world where customer expectations are rising and the superior service offered by some providers is shaping what customers expect to receive across sectors. Or do they?

This engaging session will showcase the most current views and opinion on the rising expectations of today’s customer and challenge you to understand your customer service strategy in terms of: measurement, setting and managing customer experience, how to drive improvements and how to understand what works for your customers and your brand.

Opening Keynote Claire Davey, Director Direct Distribution, Skipton Building SocietyCreating a strategic partnership with third party providers based on a mutual understanding of the end goal will ultimately result in better procurement and better delivery of services.

Showcase 2: Three ways AI & Chatbots will change the way your business communicates Daniel Liu Yin, Senior Product Manager, Ring CentralWe’re in the midst of a once-in-a-decade paradigm shift. Messaging is the new platform, and bots are the new apps. The shift radically changes end-user experiences and developer frameworks and inevitably will change business models. Daniel will highlight key trends and put in perspective where business communications is headed in the new chat economy.

Showcase 3: Engineering customer engagement Simon West, Director of Alliances, TwilioCustomer engagement leaders are using digital to create a new future rather than bridge the past. Join this talk to understand how leading businesses are using omni-channel, artificial intelligence and customer journey maps to engineer engaging customer experiences. Learn how you can build strategies to kickstart new engagement initiatives.

Keynote: How to inspire people to be extraordinary, not just ordinary William Montgomery, CEO, TENWilliam will share some of his thoughts on how to help you, as a leader, realise the potential of the individuals and teams you work with.

Customer Service 2020: ‘The best way to predict the future is to invent it’ – Be part of it Anne Marie Forsyth, Chief Executive, CCAAs a service sector economy, the service experience should be firmly recognised as the prime product rather than an add on. A failure to understand this leads to flawed thinking about its importance.

Many organisations are trying to make sense of how it all comes together; what’s the balance required between machine and automation and intervention from skilled operators? Regardless of what the tipping point is, as an industry we must use our experience and expertise to join forces in creating a blue-print for customer service.
