#841: NiCE CMO Michelle Cooper on the most common mistake brands make with AI and CX
Today, we’re going to talk about moving beyond the hype of AI in customer experience. We’ll explore how to ground an AI strategy not in the technology itself, but in the real, human moments that define a brand, and discuss why empowering your frontline team might be the most critical, and overlooked, component of a successful CX transformation. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome, Michelle Cooper, CMO at NiCE.
From the creators of The Agile Brand with Greg Kihlström® podcast, and the internationally best-selling The Agile Brand Guide® series of books on marketing technology topics, we're here to give marketers information and insights to make better decisions.
