I’m a huge fan of science fiction. A little bit different, but in the same wheelhouse is speculative fiction—and I love that word: speculative. Coming up on the end of the year, we’re in a period of time where CEOs and CS leaders are looking back to look forward. We’re “speculating” about what 2020 is going look like, and we’re imagining new worlds and new technologies.

Automated phone technology, such as interactive voice response (IVR) menus, can save businesses time and money on customer support.

My daughter encouraged me to get a coupon savings app for a retail store, one that has a Starbucks nestled inside. I loaded my store debit card into the app, so I could leave my wallet behind when I shop. At Starbucks within the retail store, I ordered one of the last Venti cups of Pumpkin Spice latte of the season. The Barista, eying my fingers swiping for the retail store debit card in the app, saved me some money, “I see you’re using the Cartwheel app.

Is your bank growing through acquisitions? If the answer yes, you know that mergers and acquisitions are never easy. Banks do their best to focus on systems, processes, employees and customers – ensuring alignment and smooth transition. But in our experience, customer experience typically takes a hit. If you are going through a merger or acquisition and measuring NPS, it's not unusual to see a 10 to 40-point dip in your scores.

It’s the end of a course, and it suddenly strikes you that you need the students to take a quiz the very next day. What would you do? Imagine sitting down with your laptop, trying to write the perfect quiz questions. It’d take you hours, and you might even find it difficult to think of the perfect quiz questions. On top of that, the hassle of distributing the quiz, waiting for the quiz participants to complete it, and then collecting it adds a few more hours.

The Internet all around us: the rise of the Spatial Web. In the coming years, the most impactful and paradigm shifting technological invention of the last 30 years – the internet – will disappear. It will be everywhere, of course, but it will also be mostly invisible. We’ve seen signs of this, for instance, in shops like Amazon Go where tech is everywhere and yet at the same time (almost) nowhere to be seen.
