Empathy as a Business Strategy: Redefining Value Creation
In today’s experience-driven economy, empathy isn’t just a virtue—it’s a competitive advantage. Join James Walford, Senior Director, Global Innovation at Genesys, for a compelling keynote on how leading organizations are transforming trust and emotional intelligence into business value.
Through real-world stories and actionable insights, James will explore the shift from transactional to emotional loyalty, the rising importance of trust in digital interactions, and how AI can amplify—not replace—human empathy. Learn how future-fit leaders are blending emotional intelligence with intelligent technology to drive long-term customer loyalty and growth.
Attendees will leave with a new framework for embedding empathy into strategy, culture, and operations—and a fresh perspective on leadership in the era of AI.
