What if removing friction isn't enough? Samsara's "Project Wow" challenges the entire CX industry to stop fixing problems and start creating experiences that make customers gasp.Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as they talk with Emma Sopadjieva, Head of Customer Experience Strategy at Samsara. With experience from Medallia, Eventbrite, and ServiceNow, Emma reveals why 90% of customer experience work is influence without authority—not data analysis. She shares how Samsara brought their entire executive team together for full-day workshops to identify five moments across the customer journey where they could create "wow" experiences, pushing every initiative from fixing pain points to delivering 10-star moments. Emma also unveils the game-changing concept of predictive NPS, using thousands of variables to identify unhappy customers before they even tell you—and activating customer success teams six months before renewal conversations.Key Actionable Takeaways:Master influence without authority by making others the hero - CX teams don't own product or support, so align insights to stakeholder metrics and show how your recommendations make them successfulStart with quick wins before long-term transformation - Launch purchase win-loss and renewal experience programs first to build credibility while working toward your five-year customer 360 visionPredict customer experience, not just renewal risk - Build predictive NPS models using behavioral data to catch at-risk customers six months early, when you can still save themWant more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences? Subscribe to our newsletter!https://www.thefrictionlessexperience.com/frictionless/Download the Black Friday/Cyber Monday eBook: http://bluetriangle.com/ebook-Emma Sopadjieva's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmasopadjieva/Nick Paladino's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/npaladinoChuck Moxley's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/chuck-moxleyChapters:(00:00) Introduction (03:00) What Samsara does - IoT hardware and software for physical operations(04:00) Key lessons from Medallia, ServiceNow, and Eventbrite(05:00) Why 90% of CX work is influence without authority, not data(08:00) Making stakeholders the hero to drive change(09:00) Balancing quick wins with long-term transformation strategy(12:00) Project Wow - Creating 10-star experiences across the customer journey(15:00) Five moments that matter and executive ideation workshops(17:00) Measuring ROI of wow moments and delight(19:00) Turning NPS improvements into quantified revenue impact(22:00) Predictive NPS - Identifying unhappy customers before they tell you(25:00) Using 5,000+ variables to catch churn risk six months early(27:00) Building frictionless UX across physical and digital worlds(30:00) CX teams as connective tissue across siloed functions(32:00) Why technology doesn't equal experience(34:00) The problem with AI chatbots in customer service(35:00) Conclusion

Send us a textEl capital volvió a moverse, pero no a todas partes por igual. Conversamos con Amelia Santos Paulino sobre por qué la inversión global se concentra en pocos países y sectores, cómo eso agranda la brecha para los ODS y qué cambios prácticos pueden convertir la inversión en una palanca real de desarrollo. Desde reglas claras hasta capacidades locales, abrimos la caja de herramientas que hace la diferencia entre promesas y proyectos que sí se ejecutan.Nos adentramos en el contraste entre comercio e inversión: la OMC ofrece reglas y arbitraje más definidos, mientras que miles de tratados bilaterales de inversión aún arrastran cláusulas antiguas que incentivan litigios y desalinean objetivos sociales y ambientales. Proponemos una actualización que incluya estándares ambientales obligatorios, salvaguardas laborales, transparencia y prevención de disputas. Bien negociados, los acuerdos pueden bajar el costo de capital, atraer tecnología y proteger a los más vulnerables; mal diseñados, perpetúan asimetrías y frenan la innovación en los países que más la necesitan.La transición energética aparece como punto de inflexión. Hablamos de coinversión público-privada, banca de desarrollo y garantías para reducir riesgos en agua y energía, y de cómo el talento local, las universidades y las comunidades elevan la legitimidad social y la eficiencia técnica. Integramos un enfoque de género con evidencia sobre productividad y cultura organizacional, y exploramos cómo la digitalización, desde plataformas tributarias hasta conectividad en zonas apartadas, puede ampliar la participación económica. Miramos hacia adelante con herramientas como IoT para estadísticas, simulaciones multi-actor e inteligencia artificial para priorizar carteras, siempre con un principio rector: transparencia y cooperación para que cada dólar invertido deje huella social y retorno sostenible.Si te movió esta conversación, suscríbete, comparte el episodio con tu gente y déjanos tu reseña.

Meet Dr. Bo Wen, a staff research scientist, AGI specialist, cloud architect, and tech lead in digital health at IBM. He's joining us to discuss his perspective on the rapid evolution of AI – and what it could mean for the future of human communication… With deep expertise in generative AI, human-AI interaction design, data orchestration, and computational analysis, Dr. Wen is pushing the boundaries of how we understand and apply large language models. His interdisciplinary background blends digital health, cognitive science, computational psychiatry, and physics, offering a rare and powerful lens on emerging AI systems. Since joining IBM in 2016, Dr. Wen has played a key role in the company's Healthcare and Life Sciences division, contributing to innovative projects involving wearables, IoT, and AI-driven health solutions. Prior to IBM, he earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the City University of New York and enjoyed a successful career as an experimental physicist. In this conversation, we explore: How Dr. Wen foresaw the AI breakthrough nearly a decade ago The implications of AGI for communication, reasoning, and human-AI collaboration How large language models work. What AI needs to understand to predict words in sentences. Want to dive deeper into Dr. Wen's work? Learn more here! Episode also available on Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/30PvU9C
