The Ortus Club recently hosted a summit on “ROI & AI: Practical Evolution” for Customer Experience leaders in Manila with Freshworks. Held at the prestigious Grand Hyatt Manila, the event brought together 19 CX leaders for a dynamic exchange of ideas on leveraging AI to achieve measurable results.
ROI & AI: Practical Evolution
Generative AI is revolutionising customer experience (CX) management by transcending traditional rule-based systems and delivering contextual solutions. This technology enhances both customer and agent interactions across various channels, significantly impacting return on investment (ROI). With over 70% of organisations, according to a recent Gartner survey, exploring generative AI, its implications are profound.
For CX leaders, generative AI addresses critical challenges such as poor deflection rates, low agent productivity, and obscured support insights. By automating self-service across multiple channels, AI tools boost team efficiency and optimise support operations. This automation allows organisations to significantly cut costs, making the financial benefits measurable. Looking forward, the evolution of AI in CX points to even greater integration and smarter solutions. As businesses continue to harness the power of generative AI, they can expect not only to see enhanced efficiency but also improved customer satisfaction, positioning them strongly in competitive markets.
