In the traditional customer service setup, there were customer service personnel taking calls and responding to customer queries on emails. Unfortunately, they would suffer from burnout. They were forced to repeat the same instructions, cool down angry customers, and had to work for long hours. Fortunately, chatbot application development has revolutionized things. These software-based tools are now taking center stage in most company interactions with their customers. Here are ways chatbots are redefining customer experiences.

Of my heroes for their ability to tell an amazing story, Walter Isaacson, author of biographies on Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Steve Jobs, and others easily makes the list. I just finished a listen of his book, The Innovators, and in comparison with his other works, it does not disappoint.
In some ways this book was a contrast from his other biographical works because it highlights the fact that the digital revolution wasn’t brought on by one single person or innovation. It instead was a continuous process of building and improving on the ideas and innovations of others and also required collaborations between individuals with a variety of strengths and abilities.

User/Customer Experience (CX) is the most important element in the journey of digital transformation that every organisation should be striving to improve.

"People have increasingly higher expectations and demands for better shopping experiences. While we just finished the holiday season when purchasing is at its highest, customers pay attention to their experiences and make buying decisions based on their satisfaction all year round. A key factor in customer experience includes easy access to products and services leveraging mobile apps. The following statistics emphasize my point:"

Customer experience is all about personalization today. In fact, both marketers and consumers agree on this in overwhelming figures; 96% of marketers polled know how important personalization is in forging strong relationships between customers, and 81% of consumers have a strong expectation that their preferred brands know who they are.
Of course, establishing high levels of personalization isn’t necessarily an easy task to accomplish. Such a task requires not just robust datasets but a suite of strong tools. UX design is often one of the best tools to accomplish this task, but even so, there are plenty of ways that even the savviest and most talented UX designer can go astray. That’s why we’ve gathered some of the best UX hacks to better provide personalization options for your customers.

Improving the customer experience (CX) is on the priority list of just about every organisation globally these days.
Yet it feels like little genuine progress has been made. It is still too difficult to discover new products on the web, find merchandise information and even purchase goods online, especially if companies were truly as customer-centric as many claim to be.
Why is this? Why are brands struggling to improve the customer-facing parts of their businesses – and what can marketers do to help?

If there’s one person I’m learning a lot from these days, it’s my 2-year-old granddaughter. Watching young Hazel encounter and learn to navigate her way in the world is a delight and incredibly instructional. She has no preconceived ideas of how things should work, nor built-in assumptions of what an interaction should be. She learns by copying, and most of all, by trying: pushing her limits of what is socially acceptable, and technologically feasible, to help her obtain her goals.
Hazel is the best predictor of the customer experience.

What is best practice when it comes to UX? Unfortunately, a lot of advice out there on 'user experience' (UX) directly contradicts other advice. Some of this bad advice is simply out of date, but some is simply wrong—always was, always will be.
How do these myths take hold? Sometimes what makes for good advice is sector-dependent and not universally applicable, other times it's because of "truthiness": "Don't make users click more than three times" sounds like it should be true, even if it isn't.
Confusion over best practices for UX reign over every sector. This confusion creates myths, and these myths create disjointed experiences that actively work against the frictionless customer experience.
So what are these myths?
