Book SynopsisA bold new look at how technology can become a force multiplier to deliver more empathy and integrate deeper, more personalized human connections into everyday business interactions at scale. While the world has never needed more empathy than today, too often technology is used by businesses as a substitute and a barrier to real human connection. We’ve all experienced dumb chatbots, automated scripts and poor employee interactions that dehumanizes customer interactions. That’s because brands have focused on company centric business strategies, processes and technology. However, simply put: No customers, no business. What if, by transforming the old company-centric way of doing business and putting customers and employees front and center, businesses could succeed faster than ever before and not at the expense of their most important assets—the very people who make it possible to be in business? Empathy is a powerful construct for a better world and a better business. It’s not a synonym for nice. Empathy is about respect and treating people in the context of their unique situation in a highly personalized way. In this groundbreaking new book, longtime technology leader and current CEO of Genesys, Tony Bates teams up with researcher and customer experience evangelist, Dr. Natalie Petouhoff to define a new path forward to put empathy into action. By using strategies and technologies as the flywheel to orchestrate systems of listening, understanding and predicting, as well as, taking action and learning from those interactions at scale, businesses can easily put the customer and employee first, not only meet the ever-changing customer and employee expectations, but also leapfrog their competition. They predict empathy is the next frontier in technology. This book is aimed at sparking an industry-wide conversation about how exponential technologies like, AI and cloud can enable a more empathetic world. Trade Review"A book with the credibility and experience to start a broader business conversation about delivering better customer experiences through empathy."

I can't wait for my students and clients to dive into this book."Jan Ryan - Professor and Exec Director of Entrepreneurship & Innovation at University of Texas & Partner at Capital Factory, Inc"Bates and Petouhoff examine why customer experiences have fallen short in the past and spark your imagination about a new world of superior, empathetic customer experiences."John Donahoe - President and CEO, Nike"Experience" happens when leaders guide their organization to behaviors and habits that earn admiration and sustainable growth. Use this book as a practical guidebook to achieve these outcomes."Jeanne Bliss - Best-selling author of Chief Customer Officer"Filled with new perspectives on the power of empathy in anticipating and delivering on customer expectations, I recommend this valuable book for anyone looking to innovate customer experience." Shantanu Narayen - Chairman, President & CEO, Adobe Inc. "Empathy in Action provides tremendous insight into the opportunity for leaders to blend empathy and experiences in a way that leads to better business outcomes."Pat Gelsinger - CEO, Intel "Empathy in Action delivers a systematic, intentional approach to transform your organization. Keep this book close by because you'll be referencing it frequently!"Charlene Li - New York Times bestselling author of The Disruption Mindset and Founder of Altimeter"If you care about your customer and employees, I recommend Empathy in Action for your whole organization. It's a guide for reexamining our approaches to customer and employee experience that has the potential for those daring enough to shift paradigms to transform business as we know it."Sandy Carter - VP, AWS WWPS Partners and Programs"This book explores how it all starts with employee satisfaction - which directly correlates with customer satisfaction. If companies want to stay relevant in this new world - these dynamics must be explored and implemented." Andrea Chin - Executive Director Global Consumer Care - IT at The Estée Lauder Companies Inc."All roads in business, service and relationships lead back to respect. Our success is contingent not only on our ability to solicit loyalty, but to deliver an experience that show that we are listening; we care. Empathy is personalizing respect, and this book sets the tone for our changing world, and expectations of our employees and customers. Empathy In Action explains a bold shift towards relying more heavily on prosocial innovation."Odessa Jenkins - President, Emtrain"For a decade or more, we have been talking about customer-centrism, and customer experience. Last year, during the pandemic, we began to hear about the importance of business empathy in realizing a great customer experience. But very little had been done about what that actually means when it's put into action. But now industry dynamo Natalie Petouhoff who is currently the Chief Empathy Officer at Genesys and the Genesys CEO, Tony Bates, take empathy and give it substance. Not only do they help define how to see and feel the shoes the customer is in, but also what it takes to walk in those shoes. If you want to truly understand, what empathy means in business, how to apply it and how to measure how successful you have been, then this is a must have book. So, if you feel anything for your customers, order this book and start reading it, even if you are still in your own shoes when you do. Because, trust me, by the time you are done, you will be living the book's title - "Empathy in Action."Paul Greenberg - Best-selling author CRM at the Speed of Light (4 Editions) "In an age where almost every interaction we have is through a lens of technology, too many nameless faceless corporations have set aside the human connection for the bottom-line efficiency of technology. The secret to loyal customers isn't in technology or efficiency, it is in creating that empathetic connection at scale. In this amazing book Empathy in Action, Tony has laid out a road map for leaders to lead from the front and reestablish that critical empathetic human touch. A must have for any leader's library."Alan Webber - Program VP, Customer Experience Strategies | IDC.com"Empathy as a leverage tool toward employees and customers loyalty, and company growth. --Empathy in Action closes the gap between theory and what occurs to your customers and employee experience when you add Empathy to the formula. Unlike many other books expressing the author's ''opinion'', you have a book based on facts, outstanding research, exceptional proofed results, and great ideas that will help your company evolve. We are still far from closing all experience blind spots, but this book will certainly bring you many steps closer. I highly recommend this book if you want to insert Empathy in your organization effectively! A practical reading that will assist your organization to gain real market differentiation and advantage."Ricardo Slatz Gulko - Co-Founder of European Customer Experience Organization"Few people are as qualified to dissect and discuss the important of empathy in business and culture as Dr. Natalie Petouhoff. Her deep expertise in understanding the wants, needs and psychology of both customers and employees gives her unique insights into how better understanding leads to better business results. Empathy In Action will no doubt be a must read for business leaders, the C-Suite and even the "E-suite"—those seeking to obtain deeper levels of empathy, to better serve customers, employees and citizens."David Armano, Founder - Armano Design Group, Forbes Contributor, Former Edelman Executive"Companies are missing the massive opportunity to transform their transactional relationships with customers into bonds that are formed and informed by their experiences. In all my research and writing, it is clear that businesses with a traditional approach to customer service have only a matter of time before they're replaced by a vendor that truly understands and wants to help their customer. This book offers readers the rationale behind adopting a customer-centric business model and the unexpected blind spots to avoid."Adrian Swinscoe - advisor, best-selling author and Forbes contributor

Book Synopsis'Artificial intelligence is going to have a massive impact on everyone’s lives... an accessible and sensible read that helps demystify AI' Deborah Meaden, entrepreneur and star of Dragon's Den'Nigel Toon is a visionary leader in the field of artificial intelligence... a must-read' Marc Tremblay, Distinguished Engineer, MicrosoftThose who understand how AI thinks are about to win big.We are used to thinking of computers as being a step up from calculators - very good at storing information, and maybe even at playing a logical game like chess. But up to now they haven't been able to think in ways that are intuitive, or respond to questions as a human might. All that has changed, dramatically, in the past few years.Our search engines are becoming answer engines. Artificial intelligence is already revolutionising sectors from education to healthcare to the creative arts. But how does an AI understand sentiment or context? How does it play and win games that have an almost infinite number of moves? And how can we work with AI to produce insights and innovations that are beyond human capacity, from writing code in an instant to unfolding the elaborate 3D puzzles of proteins?We stand at the brink of a historic change that will disrupt society and at the same time create enormous opportunities for those who understand how AI thinks. Nigel Toon shows how we train AI to train itself, so that it can paint images that have never existed before or converse in any language. In doing so he reveals the strange and fascinating ways that humans think, too, as we learn how to live in a world shared by machine intelligences of our own creation.Trade ReviewFew books are more timely than How AI Thinks, an accessible guide that walks the reader through the technology’s developmental history right back to the days before the computer... This is a fascinating read. -- Simon Hunt * Evening Standard *I believe that AI is going to have a massive impact on everyone’s lives; it’s such a hugely important topic that we can’t just leave it to technologists and governments to think about. Business people, teachers, students and parents - everyone needs to learn more about it. In How AI Thinks, Nigel Toon provides us with an accessible and sensible read that helps demystify AI and lets us all understand more about this incredibly powerful tool. -- Deborah Meaden, entrepreneur and star of Dragon's DenNigel Toon is not only a visionary leader in the field of artificial intelligence, but also a captivating storyteller who takes us on a journey through his own fascinating history and the evolution of our young industry. He has a gift for explaining complex concepts in simple terms, making this book accessible and engaging for anyone interested in AI. He also offers a prescriptive and optimistic view of the future of AI, showing how it can transform our lives and society for the better. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the past, present and future of artificial intelligence. -- Marc Tremblay PhD, Distinguished Engineer, MicrosoftAn insightful, informative, inspiring book which takes the reader on a journey of discovery, it ultimately paints a hopeful and reasoned vision of how humanity can move on from a position of fear and trepidation, and embrace AI, deriving profound benefit from all it makes possible. Nigel has a skill in taking highly technical content and making AI not just comprehensible, but also engaging. -- Professor Evelyn Welch, Vice-Chancellor and President, University of BristolAs a business leader, it was great to have all the strands that have created AI pulled together. Nigel Toon synthesizes everything so clearly, simply and in such an inspiring way. How AI Thinks delivers the perspective that leaders and politicians need so that they can regulate AI well. -- Sir Andrew MacKenzie, Chairman of Shell
