TAG CRM/CX Society Presents: CX & EX - How to Create a World Class Experience

Customer Experience (CX) and Employee Experience (EX)... together they create a world class experience.  But how? What tools and environment enables and elevate employees to both do their jobs and serve our clients successfully?  As the landscape of CX & EX evolves, two flavors of interrelated best practices have become apparent. 

1. HOW CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE METHODOLOGY CAN BE USED TO EMPOWER EMPLOYEES: CX leverages standard tools for implementing and improving the experience of customers.  Can CX methodology be leveraged for employee culture transformation?  What CX tools translate well to solving internal employee culture and user experiences - personas and journey mapping?
2. HOW A POSITIVE EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE CREATES SHARED WINS FOR CUSTOMER: Employee operating models and culture influence customer touchpoints.   Internal metrics drive behavior that can have unexpected impacts on employee interactions with customers.  Why does creating a strong customer-centric culture start internally?  What example initiatives can we learn from?  

Join speakers from Atlanta's preeminent companies to learn how they empower employees to deliver delightful experiences.

TAG Data Science & Analytics Presents: Ethics in AI

DATE
Thursday, May 23rd

TIME
6:00 PM-8:30 PM

LOCATION
Cox Headquarters
Dayton Room
6205 Peachtree Dunwoody Road
Atlanta, GA 30328

EVENT DESCRIPTION
AI… the intersection of technology and intelligence… the next level of skill-ability and scalability of labor…a human-made domain with human ethics implications.  

When have you put ethics before business interests? Law is not equal to ethics - what does it mean for a company to be ethically wrong if it operates within legal limits? When machine learning is integrated into technology products, could a machine learning system put your company at financial and legal risk?  How are your decisions made in human/machine decisioning? Is it possible to align AI with human values? More importantly, is it possible for humans to agree on which values to align AI with? These questions and more will be addressed during our TAG DS&A event to address ethical considerations of your AI/ML product and team. Whether you are a fresh graduate, recognized scholar, or seasoned practitioner, you will have opportunity to join the conversation during the Q&A session.
