#65: Transforming CX with AI plus People, Processes, and Platforms, with John Durocher, Calix

Are your people, processes, and platforms delivering value or to drive better customer experiences, or are they—and your CX—disconnected and siloed?

Agility requires a willingness to adapt and evolve, as well as a deep understanding of how customer trust is built (or broken) through simplicity, personalization, and empowered employees. 

Today, we’re going to talk about how brands can transform their customer experience using AI-powered strategies. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome, John Durocher, Chief Customer Officer at Calix.
