For decades, organizations have fixated on achieving high Net Promoter Scores (NPS) but had little detail into the “why” behind the score—either good or bad. In today’s experience economy, understanding what makes or breaks customer and employee loyalty is vital to business success. And organizations are taking note: more than 80% of CX leaders believe the ability to measure satisfaction across the entire journey is critical to their business strategy. Providing insights only into the end of the journey, NPS no longer meets the needs it once sought to serve.

Join Dr. Peter Graf, Chief Strategy and Operations Officer at Genesys as he discusses:

1. Why NPS and similar measurement methods are broken, including the unnecessary blind spots these tools create
2. Real world scenarios of how a more robust, people-centric methodology, based on what customers and employees value most, is driving better experiences 
3. How an empathetic approach to experiences will help limit employee turnover, increase customer loyalty, and ultimately become a business differentiator

Unfortunately, most offices cannot support these needs because they are designed for how we used to work.

In this keynote, you will step into the future of work, where AI is the heartbeat of innovation, connection, productivity, and collaboration. With AI at the core of workspace design and technology features, we can transform the office experience to support the needs of hybrid workers everywhere.
