Moving agentic AI from a demo to an enterprise-grade deployment is a defining challenge for today's CX executives. This talk explores the strategic investment considerations, organisational implications, and risk management necessary for deploying AI across conversational, telephony, and other customer-facing channels. We will discuss how CX leaders can navigate these high-stakes trade-offs, and how Wonderful combines its Agentic OS with a forward-deployed model to ensure AI transformations are accountable, strategically aligned, and trustworthy.

Participants will analyse high-stakes CX leadership decisions under real-world pressures including cost control, AI adoption, and regulatory change. Each group will focus on a specific type of decision, evaluating trade-offs, defining success measures, and identifying risks. The session is designed to sharpen executive judgement and provide practical frameworks for navigating complex CX strategy decisions.

Group 1: Investment and Cost Trade Offs: Which CX initiatives should be prioritised, scaled back, or stopped under financial pressure?
