This week, I had the privilege of joining a podcast with our team in Germany, where we had a great discussion about intelligent automation and our perspective on digital transformation. This conversation got me thinking about a truth that might rattle some assumptions: Most people don’t make decisions logically. In fact, they predominantly operate from an instinctual model that absorbs hundreds of subconscious data points from their surroundings, such as sights, sounds, and smells. While we often believe that rational, data-driven decision-making guides our choices, the reality is that quick, emotional reactions dominate our landscape. This tendency can seem irrational, especially to businesses relying on structured logic and generative AI. The truth is, if your brand isn’t providing data and insights that connect with these subconscious cues, chances are, customers simply won’t choose you. As I look forward, I’m excited about the future at Concentrix, where our technology can help us craft truly personalized experiences based on customer behaviors and preferences, ensuring we deliver the quality service they deserve.

We were delighted to attend and participate in FinTech LIVE in London this week, a global hub for financial technology innovation. Gerald Pullen, Managing Director | Business Transformation | Concentrix Catalyst, took part in an insightful fireside chat which explored 𝐀𝐈'𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 beyond the buzzwords and learned 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. The talk shed light on 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, further providing 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥-𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲. A huge well done and thank you to everyone who took part across each day, which were filled with crucial insights from internationally acclaimed business leaders. #FinTechLIVE #AI #BusinessTransformation #Innovation #PowerofConcentrix

A really enjoyable and informative day at FinTech LIVE 2024. It was a pleasure to participate in the fireside chat, discussing delivering real benefits from AI adoption. We covered the CX and behavioural aspects of implementing AI, top use cases as well as the challenges. Some great audience questions too! Just a few of my takeaways from the other sessions: ℹ️ data unsurprisingly remains a universally key focus 💱 open banking has opened up many new opportunities 🏆 there are over 3,500 FinTechs in the UK, creating jobs, positive impacts on sustainability goals and increasing inclusivity 💡 “FinTech is reimagining our lives, not just banking” 💰 A2A payments is a massive growth area 📣 the importance of focusing on what problem you are trying to solve, not solutions looking for problems 😁 Home Alone can be used as an analogy for FinTech insurance (who knew?) Thanks to FinTech LIVE, the other speakers and attendees for a great day in an excellent venue. #ai #generativeai #concentrix #concentrixcatalyst FinTech Magazine
