Harnessing AI to optimise your CX strategy

In a globalized economy, consumers are placing ever-rising demand on financial services. Transparency, security, and bestin- practice engagement is a must, with customers expecting fast and frequent communication. Providing reliable omnichannel CX is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity.

That being said, the state of customer satisfaction within the financial sector is continuing to decline. According to the UK Customer Satisfaction Index, over the last year, both the bank & building societies and insurance industries saw a drop in their Customer Satisfaction scores (UKCSI, 2024). Investing in your CX technology is essential; Content Guru provides organisations access to best-in-class AI solutions, enabling intelligent automation capabilities within storm®, ultimately supporting agent efficiency without sacrificing human connectivity.

Join Ed Winfield, VP of Global Partnerships at Content Guru, to learn more about harnessing the power of AI to best meet your organization’s CX needs.

Chair’s opening remarks

9 AM

Keynote: Your writing is your customer experience

Words are almost certainly the main thing your company produces: emails, ads, web pages, product descriptions, app content, help articles, Ts&Cs, customer service scripts, complaints responses, and on, and on. And they’re probably the main way your customers (current and prospective) interact with you. But the power they have to shape people’s experience is often wildly underappreciated – companies will spend a lot of time and money on some words and give very little attention to others, without realising the damage that does to trust, loyalty and ultimately the bottom line. We’ll take a whistlestop tour through the theory and science behind why language is much more important than most companies realise, and why so much business writing just isn’t effective. And we’ll look at how Monzo Bank has used this secret power to rocket to 9 million customers in just 9 years and consistently get industry-leading customer
satisfaction scores.

There will be bad jokes – apologies in advance

Harry Ashbridge
Head of Writing & Customer Experience, Monzo

Where does eXperience Start and Finish?

If eXperience is a measure of what people think and feel, then the questions are, who are the people, and what are they thinking and feeling about? Following that, we might ask how these eXperiences can be improved, and whether such improvement leads to better value for our institution.

Further again, we might want to provoke them to think about topics, which they may not be thinking about at all. This, in turn, might cause us to consider more about our definition for eXperience, and what we should do about it.

Reboarding: a strategic framework to create bond and grow value in your existing client portfolio

Banking is a people business and client-bank relationships are just like any other human relationships. We change, grow, transform continuously and our thinking, perspectives, opportunities and even our expectations change too. Thus, sometimes we need to re-establish our existing relationships and reposition ourselves. In banking the same transformation happens with our clients and we cannot depend on what we previously knew about them. Reboarding is a “2.0 welcoming process” and gives us an opportunity to grow customer experience by strengthening our relationships with our existing customers. The presentation covers the following topics:

  • Types of onboarding: why reboarding is different?
  • Show stoppers: what kills your efficiency?
  • Price of growth: why lifetime value matters?
  • Strategic steps: what are the key elements of a reboarding program?
  • Actions: when, how & who you should reboard?
  • Results and research: what are the learnings of our reboarding campaigns?

Harry Ashbridge
Head of Writing & Customer Experience, Monzo

I’m a writer, trainer and language strategist. I believe that better writing can measurably improve every single aspect of a business, inside and out, and I spend my days trying to prove it.

Right now, I'm leading the writing team at Monzo, which I started back in 2018 (the team.. not the bank). This is my baby: monzo.com/tone-of-voice

I’ve written pretty much everything there is to write. From poems on beer cans, to HR policies, to scripts, to speeches for FTSE 100 CEOs and a former England football captain.

I’ve trained thousands of people to be more confident and effective with words, including lawyers, engineers, journalists, bankers, brand people and writers from agencies like Wieden+Kennedy, M&C Saatchi and Ogilvy.

I’ve run a whole bunch of language programmes for companies big and small; developing tone of voice principles, monster rewrites, content strategy. Whatever it is, I get the call if someone needs to balance big-picture thinking with real attention to detail* about the nuances of language.

Christopher TS Harvey
Head of Change, Tesco

Christopher TS Harvey has spent the past two decades mastering the complexity of change and how to manage change successfully.

Since studying alongside Prince William and Kate at the University of St Andrews, Chris has been busy in the change space. Unaware at the time, he was somewhat of a trailblazer in the Change Management domain, obsessed with the human-centric, psychological nature of change. Pushing himself ever since to operate at the ‘bleeding edge’ of the change sphere.

What makes him a standout as a speaker is his ability to convert extensive academic understanding and hands on experience of complex change, into meaningful learnings and tangible takeaways for the audience to better manage through change. All done against a captivating backdrop of 80s/90s soundtracks, balloon metaphors and ‘tongue in cheek’ British humour.

Chris has been published extensively in GQ Magazine around the world, on change subjects ranging from natural disasters to workplace burnout. He’s also written for the Daily Mail, The Telegraph, HR Magazine, Business Insider, been interviewed by BBC, TalkRadio and many more. His proudest achievement will be publishing the book he continues to work on, whilst educating the next generation of change leaders through his guest lecturing.

With every editorial or speaking engagement, Chris’s aim always remains the same at its core: to ‘Demystify Change!’
