Customer experience is entering its most confusing decade. AI investment is at record highs, adoption is crawling, and most organizations are stuck in permanent experimentation.

This session separates the CX use cases working today from the ones still selling slides. Drawing on 500+ leader interviews a year and readiness assessments across 1,000+ organizations, Ian shows what a genuinely intuitive customer experience looks like and what has to be true underneath it before any of it ships.

Key Discussion Points: Why adoption lags investment. What separates teams shipping from teams piloting. Voice agents customers don’t hang up on. Where they win, where they fail. Anticipatory service. Preemptive form-filling, fewer steps, eliminating lag and legacy friction. Personalization with real depth. Not “elderly male,” but a woman in her 70s in an urban apartment. Agentic AI can generate thousands of validated customer profiles in hours. Most teams still work from four. Trust as infrastructure. Data protection and data gathering as the foundation, not the compliance afterthought. The three-step AI-IQ path for CX. Diagnose where your CX stack actually sits. Prioritize the two use cases with real ROI this year. Operationalize into a 90-day plan.
