-------------------

Key Takeaways:

Creating a consistent and coherent customer journey requires communication between departments and the bridging of tech stacks.
Without a Chief Data Officer in place when implementing AI, garbage in, garbage outwill result at an unprecedented scale because everything is over automated.
Ensuring you have the right structure and processes in place for AI may seem boring, but it’s essential if you want the tech to work for your business.

“If you want to start with personalization, if you want to start with data or upgrade, whatever you have, start with use cases. Verify what you need in order to bring them to life. Be specific about the requirements. Take into account privacy, consent, data minimization. But, the user story is so important because otherwise you might end up with data that has no use case.” – Glenn Vanderlinden
