The contact centre has long been seen as a cost centre – a place where customer issues are handled reactively, measured by call volumes and average handling time. But that model no longer fits the world we operate in today.
We’ve all felt it: a customer experience that falls flat not because the technology was lacking, but because the human on the other end was disengaged, untrained, or unsupported. In the rush to digitise customer journeys, too many organisations forget a simple truth: Customer experience (CX) is only as good as employee experience (EX).
Last week, I joined a panel of industry leaders to discuss a question that’s on everyone’s mind: “AI is reshaping how work gets done, and who does it.” We explored what this means not just for productivity and efficiency, but for people – our roles, our skills, and our place in an AI powered world.
In a digital-first world, the contact centre is no longer just a place to resolve queries – it’s where brands build loyalty, deliver empathy at scale, and turn customer moments into strategic advantage.
In tech, we tend to follow a familiar rhythm. Something exciting lands on our doorstep — and we rush in. Build fast. Move even faster. The result? A flurry of solutions, stitched together in haste. Then, eventually, someone in the room says what we were all avoiding: “We should probably use some kind of standard.”
Many organisations invest heavily in technology – but without strong user adoption, that investment often underdelivers. At BlueSky, our Adoption & Enablement (A&E) offering is designed to close that gap.

At BlueSky, we’re fortunate to work at the intersection of possibility and performance – where the promise of AI becomes tangible through the intelligent use of data. We often say: AI without data is just an idea. And it’s true. Data is the lifeblood of any AI solution.
In today’s fast-evolving financial services landscape, the pressure on banks to innovate is immense. Customers demand more personalised experiences, regulators expect greater transparency, and competitors – both traditional and digital – are raising the bar.
In the rush to adopt AI, many organisations forget a crucial truth: technology doesn’t create experiences – people do. At BlueSky, our Experience Design (XD) team works at the intersection of business goals, human needs, and intelligent technology.
