CX has a new power source. And it’s moving faster than most roadmaps can react.

Yes. AI.

In just 12 months, the share of organisations rating CX-focused AI as a high or very high C-suite priority jumped 42%. But while intent is soaring, execution is still stuck in discovery mode. Why? Because real AI transformation requires more than technology – it demands alignment of strategy, governance, and talent.

Our new data-driven analyst report unpacks where organisations are winning, and where others are falling short, when it comes to AI adoption right now.

Here’s a snapshot of the findings:

• 54% of C-suites rank AI as a high or very high priority in 2025, up from 38% in 2024 (+42%)
• Yet a significant 62% of organisations remain in a phase of exploration with CX-focused AI
• 23% have centralised AI governance; 40% fully decentralised (we decode the implications)
• 71% are looking at AI to boost customer satisfaction (the top driver)
