In the never-ending story of consumer empowerment, a new chapter opens. With the proliferation of AI we anticipate a future in which emotional intelligence becomes a core commercial expectation as well as a key personal skill to master in an emotion-sensitive world and workplace.Promised here is an ever more clinical understanding of the customer’s real-time emotional state (including her emotional associations with particular brands) and the arrival of empathetic services that, powered by cold hard data, deliver warmer, more human interactions, at scale and on-demand. Wherever the customer finds herself - in-store, in-app or browsing sites at home - empathetic engagement will surface, from context- and mood- sensitive greetings to recommendations based on a customer’s core underlying motivational code. Commercial interactions that do not reflect a little of ourselves back will soon seem underpowered by comparison.Please click the button below to get your white paper.Download nowAbout the Future First ResearchWe are in the midst of a massive upheaval in the job market in the UK.
