Episode 006: Contact Centers in the AI Era
Contact centers get a bad rap. They're often written off as cost centers: high-volume, high-churn, and low on innovation. But what if flipping that mindset is the key to real CX transformation?
In episode 006 of Electric Mindset, host Nick Dyment talks with Michael Lang, Advisory Director and contact center transformation specialist about what it takes to turn customer service into a value engine.
Michael’s been deep in the weeds: navigating outdated systems, inconsistent processes, and frustrated agents and customers alike. Through it all, he’s learned that real progress doesn’t come from slashing costs, it comes from designing experiences that work for people.
Nick and Michael dig into:
- Why AI alone won’t save your contact center
- How legacy tools hold teams back—and what to do about it
- What happens when you listen to your frontline
If you’re dealing with high turnover, clunky workflows, or wondering whether Gen AI can really make a difference, this one’s for you. Michael shares practical insights from the field, plus a few hard truths about what works and what doesn’t.
Empathy, smart tech, and metrics that matter—that’s the playbook.
