The Global CX 100 Awards

Welcome to the inaugural Global CX 100 Awards, in partnership with 8x8. An integral new addition to the HotTopics' Global C-Suite Awards, the Global CX 100 Awards will highlight the pivotal role of customer experience leaders (CX) in fortifying their organisations' competitive edge, orchestrating transformational strategies with their customers and clients in mind.

 

How the CX 100 Awards define the future

Customer experience leaders take the charge in implementing forward-thinking product, experience, customer and strategic business models and innovative operational practices. Whether they enjoy their own C-suite position or sit within an established function, the Global CX 100 will celebrate the strategic acumen, visionary leadership and accomplishments of CX leaders as they adapt to market demands using broad and deep knowledge of a business’ most important stakeholder: the customer.

 

The CX 100 Awards will establish a gold standard for customer-centric leadership across the C-suite. Nominated by our global community and selected by our independent panel of judges, the recipients exemplify leadership acumen, strategic innovation, and operational foresight. To be recognised underscores a commitment not just to the customer, but to maximising the experience they enjoy across their entire journey, and how the customer is championed within the business.

New rules and pitfalls of Customer Experience
State of Conversational AI in the Contact Center

Whitepaper
Increasingly, customers are turning to digital channels for information, purchases, and support. But even after decades of innovation, the efficiency and effectiveness of customer self-service continues to be a point of contention.

Frame 1394 Flipped
Contact Center trends to watch in 2024

Whitepaper
Survive or thrive. Exist or evolve. Facing and adapting to change has been the focus of every contact centre leader and team over the past year—especially as artificial intelligence (AI) augments and accelerates the possibilities for leading organisations.
