Virtual Best Practice Showcase - Continuous Improvement & Effective Change

Tuesday 28th July, 12:00

Hear from OVO Energy & LNER as they talk about Continuous Improvement & Effective Change. They will discuss how to stop burn out, how to bring the whole centre along with the change and how to prioritise projects and show the benefits from each change.

Forecasting: Embrace the Unpredictable

Effective contact centre forecasting is often about eliminating uncertainty but it doesn’t have to be; it can be about deliberately planning for it.

Webinar: The Manager's New Toolkit: Closing the Action Gap in the AI Era in Partnership with Centrical

Watch at your own pace

Frontline managers have never had more performance data, and never had less time to act on it. Signals are scattered across QA, WFM, LMS, CRM, and a growing stack of dashboards. Now AI agents are joining the workforce as a new layer to oversee, and the gap between performance insight and performance change is widening fast.

This is the action gap. Closing it is the defining challenge facing frontline leaders this year.

Join Ian Chappell, Director of Consulting, EMEA at Centrical, for a practical follow-up to The Forum's Best Practice Showcase. Ian opens with a look at why most platforms are widening the gap rather than closing it, then previews three Centrical capabilities built for the manager's job in a hybrid human-AI workforce.
