The legend of the #PiedPiper of #Hamelin offers a cautionary tale. A town overrun by rats (problems), desperate for a solution, falls prey to a mysterious piper(new technology) who lures their children (future and dreams) away with his enchanting music. Blinded by the promise of salvation, they end up losing something a lot more valuable. This fable holds an eerie parallel to the rise of AI, the productivity tool that's become the tech world's Pied Piper. AI's strength is undeniable. Its benefits unparalleled, it #automates tasks, generates ideas, and #crunches #data at lightning speed, delivering #efficiency. But just like the townsfolk of Hamelin, we must be cautious not to be seduced by the melody without understanding or defining a path. #AI is a powerful tool, but it shouldn't dictate your course. You need to have your destination in mind, your goals and objectives clearly defined. Then, leverage AI to help you get there efficiently. Don't let the means be the end. Implementing AI is not a project, leveraging AI for certain predefined capabilities is. It's about using AI tools to solve specific problems. #AI is merely another means to get to the end not an end in itself. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any thoughts or would like to share your experience or discuss it further.

While offering multiple #customer #service #channels seems like a good thing, it can #backfire. There's a hidden challenge: Even with multiple channels and #selfService options, #stressed or #frustrated customers often prefer #phone #support. The challenge? Confusing self-service can overload phone lines and lead to longer wait times, creating frustration for both customers and companies. Just because #Salesforce provides you with multiple channels for customer service doesn't mean you blindly implement all of them for all customers. You need a strategic approach.  Remember, good customer service truly does cost less than bad customer service. Here are 5 strategies for building an effective self-service experience https://lnkd.in/gBm9JM3C

Everyone's talking about #AI. Companies are scrambling to hop on the AI train before their #competitors leave them in the dust. But just like any #transformative #technology, you can't just flip a switch and start leveraging it right away. It's a journey, like learning to walk. There are distinct maturity levels organizations need to progress through systematically. You have to #crawl before you can #walk, and walk before you can #run with AI. Having a structured #roadmap is key - it helps you honestly assess where you're at now and prioritize the right areas to focus on next. Without that #roadmap, you're just stumbling around blindly. Take it one #maturity level at a time, build up your skills and processes systematically, and you'll be on the AI fast track before you know it. But try to skip steps, and you'll end up spinning your wheels. Read new blog by Blue Polaris for more detailed approach @ https://lnkd.in/gN_7CYCE

On this Memorial Day, we remember the brave heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Their courage and dedication will never be forgotten.

Would AI bring back #Clint #Eastwood or #Sean #Connery as #Bond? Not so fast... Imagine a new movie featuring a young Clint Eastwood, squinting through digitally-rendered wrinkles, or a James Bond film starring a perfectly recreated Sean Connery. While #AI like #OpenAI's #ChatGPT could technically make this happen, #legal hurdles could stall such productions. The recent #Scarlett #Johansson case highlights the right of publicity laws, which protect celebrities' identifying features from unauthorized use. Johansson considers her voice similar to OpenAI's AI assistant,  and lawyered up. This case sheds light on similar potential issues with recreating a celebrity's likeness by #Hollywood through AI.
