Seamless

Weaving Digital & Analogue Worlds

The world is filled with friction. Everywhere we go we experience the frictive effects of badly designed “seams”.

Smart brands understand that the future of customer service, great customer experience and the creation of raving fans, lies in their ability to design seamless transitions between physical and digital channels, and to deliberately and empathetically remove friction from our lives.

In a future of the Internet of Things, Virtual Reality, and Artificial Intelligence, the ability of leaders and brands to go ‘seamless’ will distinguish the winners from the losers.

This bespoke tailored presentation will provide:

• A futurephile’s guide to creating seamlessness for your brand and organization
• Showcase how to think and design to avoid the top frictive mistakes of companies in demise
• How to use seamlessness to create raving brand advocates and customer loyalty

Digilogue

The Convergence of Digital and Analogue

As some organisations careen recklessly into the digital future, others are being left behind. Smart companies are however realising there is an important middle ground – the Digilogue. A place where digital and analogue converge. Where progressive ‘digital’ strategies satisfy a customer's mind while the old fashioned ‘analogue’ practices sooth their hearts. This customised presentation will provide:

• Appreciation of the parts of your business that simply cannot go digital
• Insights into the real customer experience, the touch points that thrill them by speaking to their hearts and not their head
• Understanding of how to develop your digital ‘story’ in a way that actually attracts business
• Recognition of why customer service will never be replaced, but reborn in the Digilogue

Dr Catriona Wallace was a drawcard for our Conference. She had the full room engaged from the start and it was clear from all of our feedback the topic resonated with our delegates.

One of the best presentations that I have seen. Dr Wallace used audience participation and her own personal story as a woman to highlight the challenges and opportunities in the tech industry. We would certainly ask Dr Wallace to present again at any of our future events to students and alumni.

Catriona Wallace provided a memorable experience for our first AI Masterclass at Upward Hartford. Dr. Wallace engaged the audience from start to finish, encouraging active participation throughout the session and inspiring direct collaboration among participants. The content was informative & accessible for all levels of industry knowledge and experience, which is especially important for a hub such as ours that attracts tech experts, students & entrepreneurs across industries. We so look forward to welcoming Catriona back for future sessions! Upward, Hartford

Dr. Catriona Wallace is among the most dynamic speakers that have graced our stage at the Auto Insurance Report National Conference in our 22 years. The audience was interested in her general topic of artificial intelligence, but it was essential to quickly go from the general to the specific, and tell them what AI meant to auto insurance. Dr. Wallace delivered wonderfully on both points.
