Many of us in the design and technology community pride ourselves on being tool builders, creating products that others can use to get things done.

? ?.

Retail is transforming at an increasing rate, and more than ever. Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are changing interactions between customers and brands and are allowing many of these processes to become automated.

Relationship Types and How to Use Them. We act differently in our various relationships. We have a way we operate at work or school; we act a certain way in public and another way with our friends and family. The difference is the type of relationship we have with the other people involved. This variance in behavior is also at work in our relationships as customers.

Is Your Customer Engagement Really Customer-Centric? Lynn Hunsaker. Customer engagement can yield short-term or long-term rewards or penalties, depending on how customer-centric they are. Are you tracking all of these? Short-term rewards: uptick once or for one period — engagement value exceeded underlying value. Long-term rewards: uptick that sticks or increases organically — engagement fit the customer’s expectations and circumstances.
