In your roundtable groups, you will be given 30 minutes to discuss the following scenario: “Your CEO has become aware that AI is playing a pivotal role in the future of customer experience and success of your business. You have been invited to the board meeting to make a case of three areas to invest in to ensure a successful AI-driven customer experience future of your company.” You will take time sharing ideas with your group members and compile three components, which you should be ready to explain. You will then take 10 - 12 minutes to share the outcomes with each group in the room.
