By collecting feedback from various sources like surveys, chat, online reviews, social media, and customer interactions, companies can identify what makes customers happy and what they can improve.    While surveys are still important, the advent of social media and other digital platforms provides customers with new ways to provide feedback. Meeting the customers on their chosen platforms helps them gather more data and better understand what customers experience and expect.    AI can analyze data in massive amounts and detect patterns, trends, and opportunities for improvement that might be missed by humans. Using AI is not just about having the latest technology, it is about empowering employees to provide better, quicker, and more personalized service.    Data should be easily accessible, not stuck in department silos. A CX platform brings it all together, organizing and turning it into actionable insights.    Many companies get stuck collecting and analyzing data without taking action and implementing improvements that benefit customers. Activation is critical because it turns data and information into meaningful actions that improve customer experience.     Technology will not replace human interactions, but it will enhance them. Tools like AI will provide frontline employees with real-time access to information and insights that will empower them to help customers more efficiently.    Plus, Shep and Sid discuss what companies and customers can look forward to in the future when transforming CX and businesses with AI.
