Today’s episode of the Punk CX podcast features a chat I had with Jessica Cuthbertson, Executive, Data & Analytics at National Australia Bank (NAB), where she leads the team responsible for harnessing data, analytics, decision science and AI to improve customer experiences, drive business performance and support better decision-making across the bank. Jess joins me today to talk about how they’ve transformed their customer experience with the Customer Brain, a motoring analogy they use to explain how they are combining the power of agentic AI with decisioning, what they are able to achieve in terms of 1-to-1 hyper-personalisation at scale, with over 10 million customers how they manage conflict and do that consistently, the sort of customer and business outcomes they have been able to drive by following this approach, and what’s next for NAB when it comes to CX, agentic AI and decisioning? This interview follows on from my recent interview – AI, architecture, and human judgment in CX – Interview with Anshuman Singh of HGS Europe – and is number 609 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders who are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.
Today’s episode of the Punk CX podcast features a chat I had with Anshuman Singh, CEO of HGS Europe, a user-centric technology services partner delivering Intelligent Experiences with AI, automation, and human expertise across global enterprises. Anshuman joins me today to talk about how AI’s failure mode is architectural, not a technology gap; why the statement “AI handles the routine work, humans handle the judgment calls” is true but incomplete; why AI isn’t inherently cheaper than a human; and why we are at risk of no longer teaching anyone to build and what the implications of that are. This interview follows on from my recent interview – What a people first AI playbook looks like – Interview with Mike Sullivan and Vinay Gidwaney of OneDigital – and is number 608 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders who are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.

Mike and Vinay join me to talk about why AI transformation is increasingly becoming a leadership, workforce, and organisational culture challenge, how they are using AI in their business, how they are managing the transition/transformation, the ‘hiring’ process for their AI agents, who Ben, Dex, Nina, Jackie, Avery, Quinn, Amy, Odysseus, Charity and Ace are and a bit about their new book (Workforce Intelligence: The People-First Playbook for Leading Your Company Through AI Transformation) that just came out and is already a USA Today bestseller.

Today’s episode of the Punk CX podcast features a chat I had with Ashley Gross, the Founder and CEO of The Alliance, an enterprise AI strategy and advisory firm. Ashley joins me today to talk about how most service AI business cases are measuring the wrong side of the ledger, what an honest AI service business case doesn’t include, who should own AI in the customer journey, and the new book she has just written (The AI Workweek).

Today’s episode of the Punk CX podcast features a chat I had with Brad Birnbaum, Co-Founder & CEO of Kustomer, a top-rated AI Customer Service & CRM software platform provider. Brad and I talk about why the pace of AI adoption is not a technology problem, but rather the bottleneck sits elsewhere; how the idea that using AI in CX will cost less than people doesn’t stand up to scrutiny; and how most CX leaders are asking whether AI will replace their service teams, but their thinking should be elsewhere, amongst other things. By the way, I’ll be speaking at Kustomer’s ROI of CX Virtual Summit, which is taking place on Tuesday, October the 20th. Check it out!

We talk about a range of things, including why the website still matters, but it’s not where discovery starts; why marketers don’t have a content problem, but rather they have an orchestration problem; how marketers can reach their customers in this AI-infused world; and also whether AI is going to kill SaaS or software. This interview follows on from my recent interview – Eliminating the Coordination Tax – Interview with Dan O’Connell of Front – and is number 604 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders who are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.
