There’s usually a need to alter the status quo, a vision and a sponsor, a strategy to inform the rest of the affected people and train them to perform at their best abilities in the new expected “way of working”, while fostering a climate where they could thrive and achieve milestone after milestone. So what is Change Management? Most of the time it’s used as a buzzword to describe an indefinite set of actions and processes that, together, should create the perfect recipe for success. How I see it, it is the simplest way to lead, in a human-first manner, a group of people from scenario A to B. So let’s set our scenarios: Scenario A is when, for example, you are working as a CS Lead or a CS Ops Lead for your SaaS company, which has just signed

Hi Folks. My Name is Mark Deegan and I am the CEO of Wigmore IT Group Before becoming CEO I was a Gainsight Architect With over 4 years of Experience and Over 200 Client Engagements. But my story with Customer Success and AI goes back a lot longer than that. In fact I was first exposed to Customer Success and Artificial Intelligence at the same time at the same company over 7 years ago.Artificial Intelligence is nothing new - But it has become more prevalent - Generative AI was an absolute ATOMIC BOMB when it was launched and the Industry is struggling to keep up - At the same time - Every Organisation worth their salt is trying to leverage AI to drive better outcomes for both their internal processes and their outcomes. I first got exposure to AI working for a Digital Personalisation Company who leveaged AI to deliver personalisation at scale to some of the biggest brands globally, including Emirates, Air New Zealand and Trivago. That customer went from a Startup to a Leader in the Ga

 Are you still FIRED UP and ready to implement your learnings? 🔥  Here are my top 3 takeaways from Europe’s #Number 1 Customer Success Industry Event 🚀This time last week, we were wrapping up an incredible two days, which saw over 1,300 Customer Success professionals touch down at #PulseEurope23 in the beautiful city of Amsterdam…I’m still buzzing from all of the excitement! 😝I say it every year, but the one thing that stands out for me, is the incredible sense of community. We’re all in this together, trying to figure out how best to serve our customers, whilst keeping pace with an ever-evolving technology landscape. There is no one-size-fits-all winning strategy, but sharing with others what is working for you, is progressive & promotes a collective growth mindset that propels the entire Customer Success community forward. 🚀Some of the most exciting and compelling themes this year were (unsurprisingly) focused around how AI is quite literally changing the game for Customer Su

Last week at Pulse, I had the incredible opportunity to share insights and strategies on running a strategic cadence call. It was an engaging session, and I want to express my gratitude to everyone who attended. The discussion was rich with valuable takeaways that I believe can benefit anyone looking to enhance their customer engagement. Here are some key points from the talk:1. Know Your Key StakeholdersUnderstanding the key stakeholders within your business is foundational. These individuals play a crucial role in decision-making processes, and tailoring your cadence calls to address their specific needs and concerns is paramount. By identifying and catering to these key players, you set the stage for more impactful conversations.2. Drive Value Across the Customer JourneyA successful cadence call is not just about addressing immediate concerns but also about driving value across the entire customer journey. Consider the broader context of your customer's experience with your product
