“We’re proud to hang up on our customers.” This bold statement was how a Canadian telecom exec opened his talk at a  customer experience (CX) conference I recently attended.

It’s one thing to embrace failure as a necessity for innovation. But we don’t always take the time to talk about the process of failure, and what it teaches.

Insurers have many reasons to contemplate a system upgrade: the need to modernize core IT and infrastructure, improve business capability with attractive new features and functionality, boost process efficiency and customer service with straight-through processing.
