CXPA Finland Webinar: Hello World! The Rise Of The Machine Customers

Machine Customers Are Here - Is Your Business Ready?

*** THIS WEBINAR HAS ENDED. YOU CAN WATCH THE ONLINE REPLAY ON OUR SITE WWW.CXPA.FI ***

A Machine Customer is a machine that fills the space for a customer to perform activities so the customer doesn't have to, acting on her or his behalf to interact with businesses independently. Be it digital assistants, wearables or home automation devices, many different types of machines may soon be autonomously engaging with your organisation to help their masters lead healthier, less busy and more productive lives. And some of them may already be out there, doing the bidding, booking, ordering and shopping for your customers, without you even knowing about it. 

Machine Customers set new requirements for planning and designing your business processes to support your customers and employees alike. Do you know what your business needs to know about planning for and dealing with Machine Customers? Have you already defined your Machine Customers' journeys, so that you can manage them?

James Dodkins, CX Rockstar & CX Evangelist at PEGA, together with Sirte Pihlaja, Head of Team at CXPA Finland and CEO at Shirute are here to talk about Machine Customers, and what their rise will mean for your business.

James Dodkins used to be an actual, real-life, legitimate, award-winning rockstar playing guitar in a heavy metal band, releasing albums and tearing up stages all over the world. He is now the CX Evangelist at Pegasystems where he researches the mindsets, principals and philosophies of companies that deliver ‘Rockstar Customer Experiences’. He shares those strategies through transformative training, engaging video content and inspiring keynote talks.

He is also a two time #1 Best Selling Author and the Ex-host of Amazon Prime’s weekly topical CX show, ‘This Week In CX’.
