The dizzying pace of innovation - artificial intelligence, chatbots, machine learning, autonomous service - is enough to leave any CX practitioner feeling overwhelmed. Coupled with the fact that self-service initiatives are often high-visibility and high-priority projects, the risk of a failed implementation always looms large.

I have plenty of friends who tell me if they don’t get their spouse some flowers and a card, they will pay for it. So we feel obligated to express our love and appreciation to those close to us. I’ve written several articles about this before, and my favorite one is called The Valentine Obligation.
