This post celebrates Service Design Day and everyone who’s working to create our new normal. While walking across the Millennium Bridge in London a few years ago, I noticed a group of people standing around and looking down curiously at a man who was laying at their feet.

Depending on which news outlets you follow, you may be under the impression that traditional brick-and-mortar contact centers won’t survive the pandemic. Undoubtedly, the contact center as we know it will change. But there are far too many sunken costs and entrenched values to make such a sudden change. A lot has changed in the past few months but there should be no question that contact centers will return to their physical offices in some shape or form once the pandemic abates.

They also expect your agents to have insights into their journeys so that they don’t have to repeat themselves as they move through various channels.
