Why is the CS department so easily forgotten when it comes to recognition, organizational transparency and visibility towards value generation - internal and for our customer base?And what impact does this have on the CSMs, the ones serving as the critical bridge between internal operations and external customer relationships?It’s a dual responsibility creating a complex web of challenges that span from basic workplace needs to higher-level professional fulfillment.But how are companies, CS departments and Leaders responding to this challenge apart from encouraging & enabling their teams to be “more efficient” or “more productive”? 💰💰💰What about the human being, the person, the individual behind the CSM role?How can we better address the underlying needs creating a foundation where CSMs can thrive internally while delivering exceptional external customer experiences?Having asked myself this question (and tho

Thank you to those of you who attended our AI “Real Talk” panel discussion at this year’s Pulse.  We ran out of time to cover all the submitted questions, so this is my attempt to address the follow up questions that I’m best suited to answer.  Do you see Ai/Agents as a more economical solution to outsourcing? No, I see AI agents as an augmentation to the workforce.  Our organization does not outsource but we do offshore.   How do you plan on getting around potential legal hurdles with AI in the future around data, etc. Do you think less regulations will benefit in the long run? Or are guardrails necessary?  At the moment, we don’t have answer to the legal hurdles (yet).  We focus on the markets less regulated to start in order to commence our AI initiatives.  Yes, I believe guardrails are necessary to prevent security risks. @Dan Reese, how did you calculate the cost of one AI Agent for your Digital COE ($14K/year)?  We measured a time impact
