Více o knize

This annotation presents a bold perspective on leveraging technology to enhance empathy and foster deeper, personalized human connections in business. In a time when empathy is crucial, many businesses mistakenly use technology as a barrier to genuine interaction, leading to frustrating experiences with chatbots and automated scripts. This approach stems from a company-centric focus, neglecting the fundamental truth: without customers, there is no business. By shifting the emphasis to customers and employees, businesses can thrive without sacrificing their most valuable assets. Empathy is not merely about being nice; it embodies respect and understanding individuals in their unique contexts. In this groundbreaking work, technology leader Tony Bates and customer experience expert Dr. Natalie Petouhoff outline a transformative approach to integrate empathy into business practices. They propose using innovative strategies and technologies to create systems that listen, understand, predict, and learn from interactions. By prioritizing customer and employee needs, businesses can not only meet evolving expectations but also outpace competitors. The authors envision empathy as the next frontier in technology, aiming to ignite an industry-wide dialogue on how advancements like AI and cloud computing can contribute to a more empathetic world.
