The Guardian Case study: Insurgent CX: How to champion the customer in organisations that are not customer centric Ben Lappin, Head of Retention & CX, The Guardian • Frustrated that your organisation says that it is customer centric, but then behaves in ways that are not? • Do your customer focused initiatives make the first draft of the budget but usually out by the final submission? • Discouraged because you can see the huge leaps forward your business could take if only they would prioritise customer experience? • While there are some ultra-visible companies that get customer experience right, most of us work in organisations where customer experience is often talked about as a priority, but rarely treated like one.

M&S Case Study: How we’ve delivered superior conversational experiences Bogdan Grigorescu, AI Platform, Marks & Spencer At Marks and Spencer we’ve delivered conversational experiences through Natural Language Processing to customers calling the retails stores and the contact centre.

Motability Case Study: Virtual vs. Human Interaction: Is omnichannel actually the right thing for your employees and customers? Llaura Hughes, Communications & Development Manager Motability Operations Ltd Is it appropriate to push the customer to a virtual conversation before they can interact with a human being? With ever changing customer bases, expectations of first point resolution and a push to embrace technological changes, have you considered whether all of your front line employee are prepared for any customer contact that they may have? We’ll discuss the learns of synergising multi-channel communications, how best to interact with customers and how to utilise the findings from web chat, bot chat and speech analytics to ensure that any interaction with a customer focuses on emotional intelligence rather than concentrating solely on business process.

BT Opening Keynote: The Autonomous Customer 2020 Nicola Millard, Head of Customer Insight & Futures, BT It’s the 10th anniversary of BT’s “Autonomous Customer” research and this year we’ve surveyed 6000 customers across 12 countries (including the UK, US, Australia, China, South Africa and Germany) about their expectations from customer experience, their top channel choices and what role the contact centre plays in all this. This presentation will unpick some of the trends, surprises and themes of 2020, as well as reflecting on what we got right (and wrong) in the 10 years since we started this research. We will answer questions such as: • Is the phone dead? • Is AI relevant to customers? • Do customers still want to chat, tap and talk? • How does the contact centre need to respond to these trends?

Vodafone Case Study: How can we Enable Customer Success in a Digital World? Jason Hendry, Global Head of Commercial & Service Management, Vodafone Business The principle of Customer Success started in the SaaS (Software as a Service) Industry, it has slowly migrated to technology companies who are looking to shift towards outcome based commercial modelling. With the drive to Digital Channels how do we enable the scarce physical resources to maximise the benefit for both customer and business alike. The questions are: • How do we create the right insight through Digital Channels? • How do we enact on those insights? • What is the correct blend between digital and physical?

Move over Gen Z: How Gen Alpha will shape the Customer and Employee Experience David Evans, Solutions Consultant, Calabrio Gen Z’s expectations on experience – both in the workplace and as a consumer – have been top of mind across all industries for the past ten years. As Gen Alpha (children born between 2011 and 2025) starts to come of age, companies must now look to adapt their customer and employee experience strategies to meet the expectations of this youngest generation. Taking a look at today’s adolescent behaviours and daily experiences – like their reliance on technology and interactions with robots – will help brands create and plan for what this generation will expect and answer questions such as: What role will voice communications play? How important will interactions with humans versus bots be? In this presentation, Dave Evans, Sales Engineer at Calabrio will share the findings of a survey that looked at the perceived gap between what companies expect Gen Alpha consumers to want and what parents of these budding new consumers think they will actually want. David will also dig into which technologies, processes and strategies brands will need to adopt to ensure top notch experiences for this generation.

Centrica Case Study: Barriers and Opportunities to the Delivery of Customer Experience Patricia Sanchez-Diaz, Customer Experience Lead, Senior Manager, Centrica How do colleagues become able, empowered, and informed so that they deliver the intended customer experience? What are the barriers and/or opportunities to the delivery of the intended customer experience in the contact centre?

Laura McFarland, Software Technologist & Chris Gormley, Software Technologist, Liberty Mutual Insurance Voice enabled Virtual Assistants in Liberty Mutual Insurance’s Call Centres are handling 160k+ calls per month with zero call time queueing and 100% reliability, saving the business millions of dollars.
It is widely reported that staff turnover in the call centre industry is around 26% annually, considerably above the national average of 15%. This has a commercial impact on every single business. Losing staff effects your bottom line and in some ways your business becomes a ‘short-term’ fix for employees as they begin their journey on the employment ladder.

Why Diversity is Critical to the Success of a Contact Centre Gifty Enright, Author, Speaker, Women in the Workplace Expert, Giftyenright.com Failing to attract, retain and get the most from the available resource pool is like doing business with one hand tied behind your back. Contact centres suffer from high staff turnover which is expensive, inefficient and highly disruptive to performance. Contact centres will reap fast and long-term rewards by investing in diversity. Not investing in this valuable change, risks your business being left behind.

Barnsley Council Case Study: Work is an Activity not a Location! Lisa Blackburn, Customer Experience Manager, Barnsley Council Barnsley Council’s Customer Service Centre has embarked on a journey to create a fully agile workforce who has the capabilities to work anywhere at any time, thanks to the adoption of new technology and a wider cultural change programme. Work is no longer seen as something you have to complete in a building – but is something you can do whilst in the comfort of your own home (perfect in the winter weather when travelling can be a challenge), in a library, partnership building and sometimes in your favourite coffee shop! The presentation will walk through why the change had to happen, the key drivers for change, an high-level guidance on how to deliver an agile workforce, along with detailing key considerations before embarking on a similar journey. Concluding with an outline of the short, medium and long terms impacts of agile working.

Bought By Many Case Study: Listening to customers and colleagues alike to become the UK’s most Trusted Pet Insurer Alexander King, Head of Customer Support, Bought By Many I used to be a CSE, it is a challenging role. • Customer can get stressed – they are not in control. • Customers want to be heard – we must listen. • CSEs can get stressed – they are not in control. • CSEs want to be heard – are we listening? Back when I first started, wrap-codes, marketing codes & refund reasons represented the full extent of VOC capture. Fast forward to 2020 and many of us will be balancing multichannel contact centres, including social media & review site responses. At BBM we cover XXX channels. Working on various systems isn’t ideal. However, we have ensured that VOC is captured across channel – explain tech, explain CX journey. Crucially we have open channels for VOE to be capture, mirroring that of the VOC – explain process, explain tech Prioritisation of development request are taken from VOC & VOE. In Customer Support we can’t dictate the businesses next steps. However, we CAN ensure it hears and listens to not only it’s customer but employees alike – as we often find, they are asking for the same thing. By listening in this way, we continue to develop Better Insurance, For Everyone. And along the way we are achieving high NPS score from both customers and CSE alike.

"The best contact centre focused event I've ever been to - I'd recommend it to anyone!" Head of Customer Experience, Bupa
13 FEBRUARY 2020
Now in its 5th year the conference returns for 2020 Contact centres remain well placed to become the beating heart of an organisation’s customer engagement strategy. It is the contact centre that can deliver the customer insight that is needed in a business environment where our customers are in control of how they choose to interact with organisations and where the so called ‘customer journey’ is ever more complex. The chief aim of the 2020 conference is for delegates to go back to their organisations armed with all the tools, strategies and techniques they need to deliver successful contact centre strategies in this brave new technology driven customer centric world.
