  • The Tom Peters Interview

    Adrian, your interview with Tom Peters is excellent in every way. Many podcasts have “dead air time,” meaning empty, off-topic chatter. Every minute of your interview was insightful. Thank you

  • Minimising the Messy Middle

    I found this podcast fascinating as I manage end to end operational teams - customer service, middle and back office on a global scale. I encounter all of the challenges mentioned and working a number of solutions from a technological, process and cultural perspective, but there is a long way to go. I recommended my leadership team to listen to this also.

    I worked with Adrian a number of years ago and am impressed with the impact he has made in the CX space! Graham

The NiCE World London Takeover of the Punk CX Podcast Part Two
Q: What was the challenge Birmingham City Council faced before this journey with NiCE?
They were dealing with Section 114 administration and severe budget constraints, which led them to explore automation to deliver savings and continue essential services, starting with basic voice automation and evolving toward more capable, agentic AI.
Moving from Experimental Pilots to Proven CX Outcomes - Interviews from Pegaworld 2026
Q: What is your best advice for leaders looking to start or accelerate AI-driven CX improvements without getting stuck on the wrong problems?
Ken suggests focusing on the biggest business problems first, using AI where it meaningfully improves outcomes, and avoiding chasing glamorous but low-impact use cases. He emphasizes anchoring decisions in tangible ROI and business opportunities.
Moving from Experimental Pilots to Proven CX Outcomes - Interviews from Pegaworld 2026
Q: I want to dig into the tokenomics a bit. How do you see the balance between experimental AI use and the need for ROI and cost visibility?
Ken explains that during experimentation, some tolerance is acceptable to spur innovation, but as solutions scale, there must be clear ROI, cost visibility, and risk management, including limits and control mechanisms to avoid unsustainable spending.
Responsible AI isn't an optional layer, it must be foundational - Interviews from Pegaworld 2026 Pt2
Q: What would be Matt Healy's best advice for improving customer service through AI?
Leaders should get hands-on with AI, experiment, and adopt a growth mindset, road-test capabilities, and balance experimentation with governance before broad deployment to ensure ROI and realistic expectations.
Insights from Zendesk Relate - Interview with Tom Eggemeier, Shana Simmons and Cristina Fonseca
Q: Give us a flavor of the big headlines and big themes from Relate, and the big announcements you've made.
The Autonomous Service Workforce was introduced as an end-to-end orchestration layer enabling proactive and reactive problem solving with a strong automation focus; Zendesk AI agents, third-party agents, or customer-built agents can all operate on top of this orchestration layer, signaling a broad, open ecosystem. The emphasis was on scaling automation responsibly and leveraging orchestration to connect disparate systems, with a push toward openness and a moved-up emphasis on governance and security.
